Depends on your definition of local.So I think, after reading silver spring, rockville, halethorpe, Fredrick, st leonard, and DE, the answer to the question about a "local" knife shop was NO.
Growing up in Wisconsin, anything within a one hour drive felt local to us, and a two hour drive on the weekend was nothing. When I was in Manhattan, I knew people that didn't leave a one square mile radius more than a few times a year. In Maryland, I've often found myself in gun stores about an hour drive from home, and it's no big deal. I've discovered two great stores this way (that are IPs here). But you're partly right, the only place that I would call my LGS (in part because I really like the establishment and get on well with the owner) is Gunrunners.Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

So did you have enough time to make it to any of the suggested shops?

No. Basspro at the Mills had what I needed and I didn't have to make a special trip.
The biggest problem I have with LGS is they have a pretty sad internet presence.

Yes, very strange location. Its in the basement of a house basically on a farm. Almost felt like I was intruding in someones house but took the chance, didn't get stabbed or shot so that was good.
Once you get over the some strangers basement its a very nice shop. It doesn't feel like a basement once there. They have employees and all, very nice.
Well, if you make it out to Frederick sometime, bring ProtegeV (he seems to be city bound), we'll have lunch, and talk Trump. Protege will love it.

If you're going to Chantilly this weekend, LTWright Knives has a table there. Great knives, handmade in OH by great people!
Usually, in the next to the last row to the right and between 1/2 way and 3/4 way back from entrance
Here are some recent knives from their shop

And I know what you mean by varying degrees of "local."
My wife is from upstate ny and when they finally got s target within a 40min drive everyone was ecstatic. Where I'm from, there are 5 within 15minutes
Sheesh, I suck at phone posting. I meant to write "talk Trump". Only see my errors when they're quoted.

Yes, I remember you planning your visit to NYC last year with a bit of dread.
I suspect, with a little time, you're actually highly adaptable. Obviously helps if there were family and friends in the new locale.Shamrock, great knives. Thanks for the tip.
