My wife picked up a plate from Thatcher's on her way through the area not long after they opened. The bbq tasted like it came out of a tub from some crappy grocery store and she said that the sides weren't any better. I hope, for future customers sake, that they were just having a bad day, as I...
I only picked up an alox Victorinox SAK this time, but noted at least two knives that I will be buying next visit and several more that will make great gifts.
I'm a user, not a collector, and pretty boring in my preferences so my purchases are generally not very exciting.
I stopped in earlier today. Nice folks and a very nice selection. Got to handle some knives I've wanted to for a long time. I'll definitely be spending more money with them.
Go check them out if you're in the area.
If y'all have time ride all the way down Tower Rd to Insurance Bluff. There are a few short side trails that are good for getting more dirt under your tires and the view is pretty good too.
Also, if you want to stretch your legs then the Ransom Hollow Overlook is a short hike from the Snooper's...
Thanks for posting this.
I have to drive through that area now at least a couple of times a month. It'll give me a good place to stop and stretch my legs.
Haley Road at Prentice Cooper, as mentioned above, can be fun, especially in wet weather. Plus, there's plenty of hiking and good overlooks of the Tennessee River Gorge (Snooper's Rock is the best known, Ransom Cove is probably my favorite). They've been logging in there, so be careful on the...
It was my first time going and I expected it to be bigger, honestly. Even the folks who had encouraged me to go seemed disappointed with the offerings this year.
I did have a good time wandering new to me back roads on the way home, though.
Anyone who goes and isn't already a GeorgiaCarry.Org member, they are set up there and it's easy and stupid cheap ($20) to join. I renewed while I was there. They are 99% of the reason that we can carry through the door, in the parking lot and most of the surrounding area. Plus parks, WMAs, etc...
Thanks for the info. I didn't want to have to walk back to the car to get rid of my pocket knife or other such silliness at a hunting and fishing show.
-Brasstown Bald is neat.
-Blood Mountain for hiking and a view, from either the little parking area or Mountain Crossings.
-The swinging bridge over the Toccoa River is cool (easy access via a short FS road) and you can hike some of the BMT while you're there if you like.

Many of Buck's models are now made in China. Have been for well over a decade.
You just have to look at the individual model to see where it's made.
OP: You can fix that tip with a file and some wet/dry sandpaper or a belt sander.
Buck might replace it for you, but why the hell would you...
Benchmade used to have a cheaper series that was made in Asia. They caught a lot of crap for it and dropped most of them or changed them over to their HK line.
I'm not sure if there are any left at this point as even all the HKs I've seen lately are made in the US.
I'm a big fan of the Stylus Pro. The newest gen claims 90 lumens. I liked that the last gen's 65ish lumens had a wider (more flood) beam than the one it replaced. I'm assuming the 90 lumen one will be similar.
My current daily carried flashlight is the Streamlight PT1L-1AA.
Uses CR123s, AAs...
And on top of the good prices they are great folks to deal with. In many years (a decade or more maybe?) of buying from them I've yet to be anything but extremely satisfied with their inventory, price and CS.
I do kind of miss having to be buzzed in.
I was actually in there just after lunch...
