Hey,
Just wanted to know if anyone here was from Montreal, Quebec? If so where do you go to buy your knives? I've found a couple of stores along St-Laurent Blvd. One is pretty decent. My girlfriend bought me a C99 Volpe from there for my birthday. However I find that the selection at both stores is not that great. Any suggestions?

Im not sure of the names of the stores. The first one is located on the corner os Ste-Catherines and St-Laurent. Its an army surplus store. There are actually two of them right next to eachother. The one further from Ste-Catherines has an alright selection of Byrd knives. I bought a Byrd Meadowlark and a Stainless Endura from there. If you keep on travelling up St-Laurent for a couple of blocks you will find a third surplus store. The selection of Spyders is slim but constantly on rotation. I found my Volpe and almost bought a Native from there.sixheads wrote:Jon Basha ,

The best selection in montreal is Le Baron, on St-Laurent, just one light south of the Metropolitain. Lots of models (incl. Mili and para, Captain,...) But expect to pay just under MSRP.
A couple of years ago, there was also Baron Sport (curiously not related) On Notre-Dame near Planetarium Dow.
There are also the SAIL in Laval and somewhere on the south shore (near St-Hilaire).
As for me, I have them shipped to my brother in law in Washington DC and he brings them back every couple of weeks...
Hope this helps,
Simon

Man, I wish I could visit Montreal again during the summer. My wife and I honeymooned there for a couple days in 1999. A great city to visit.
After our trip I kept - half-jokingly - telling people we were moving there. I used to go online and look at real estate listings for the city. I would miss my guns though.

This is an OLD thread. That being said, I've met the OP. ( I work in one of the Army Surplus stores)
I recently sold him a CF Sage.
Cool guy.
We have some Spydies, but super-limited selection (we buy from another distributor) and our prices are practically MSRP.
Warriors and Wonders is great place to buy from for Canadians, or caledon2 on eBay (he has great prices).
djinn, you should pass by the store with your Spydies for a chat :D
