About us

A Real Knife Shop in Historic St. Augustine

For over ten years we’ve been on the corner of Hypolita and St. George, in the middle of the oldest city in the country — a working knife shop in a walking town, a block off the plaza and directly across from the municipal parking garage.

We’re an authorized dealer for Microtech, Benchmade, CRKT, Kershaw, Spyderco and Krate Tactical, and we carry handmade one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t find in a catalog. Knives are our specialty — but from watches and flasks to grooming and wallets, we’ve got you covered.

What a catalog can’t do is put a knife in your hand. Come in, open it, feel where the weight sits, and ask us anything — which steel holds an edge longer, which one is easier to sharpen, which one your kid should learn on. That conversation is the whole reason the shop exists, and it’s why people who walked in on vacation a decade ago still come back every year.

We’re bringing manly back.

We’ve been coming to St. Augustine for family vacations every year for about 20 years, and we’ve been buying knives from Bear Mountain Outfitters for roughly the same amount of time. Every single visit the staff has been fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely interested in helping you find the right piece. … They carry top-quality knives from brands like Benchmade, Microtech, Kershaw, Spyderco, and others, plus swords and all kinds of cool gear. It’s the kind of place where you can get into a real conversation about which steel holds an edge better or which is easier to sharpen.

Ted was amazing! They walked my son through all the different knives and all of his current options for his first Cub Scout knife!! He had preferences about a pull open versus a flip open and honestly the service just could not have been more amazing.

One of our favorite places to visit is Bear Mountain Outfitters whenever we visit St. Augustine! We’ve been visiting once a year and every time we come, we make it a point to visit B.M.O, it’s truly phenomenal here!
