Hey everyone -

Just curious if National Knives LLC was dropped from Spyderco's official list of authorized dealers?
Already Checked: https://spyderco.com/pages/dealer-locator

Just curious, I've had great experiences with Rob, but just randomly checked and can't seem to find him on Spyderco's website.

Well, I for one hope not. He has been a great dealer for me.

I also hope not. I’ve never had any problems with them and have given them a lot of business. Great vendor.

NK is one of my go to shops but they have never been on the authorized dealers list. I don’t know what the criteria for being an authorized dealer is but this has come up before and Kristi has explained it.

NK has treated me very well and will continue to give him my business. I can order on Wednesday and and in my mailbox on Friday morning. He always checks my concerns before shipping . MG2

Hi All,

Rob from National Knives, LLC (NKLLC) here.

NKLLC is still an authorized dealer.

I don't believe NKLLC has ever been listed on the Dealer Locator. Unless something has changed at Spyderco, the Dealer Locator is only for authorized dealers that have a brick and mortar storefront. NKLLC sells online only.

Very Best,
Rob :bug-red-white

Thanks everyone for the reply.

I thought I remember seeing them on the Authorized List, but I could be mistaken.
They have sprint run models, etc so I assumed they had access to direct shipments from Spyderco.

Did not know that.
And thanks again Rob for all you do!
I have quite the collection of excellent microfiber towels too! There’s a blue & yellow stack I’m staring at as we speak :)

National Knives, LLC (NKLLC) is an authorized dealer but only sells online. and not in a fixed physical location. Per Rob G of NKLLC: "...the Dealer Locator is only for authorized dealers that have a brick and mortar storefront. NKLLC sells online only."

My GO TO online dealer with fast shipping and great prices...Login for a cheaper price. I have bought many knives there and never ever had an issue.
