"All the way from the south east of Asia, Singapore"
"Cool knife shop in Amsterdam"
"I came here last April and I made my way upstairs to ask for air rifle advice"

"Upstairs for cutlery, ground floor is dedicated to cannabis culture"
All the way from the south east of Asia, Singapore. I have to give credit to the staff that served me (Daniel or David? I’m really sorry!). I’ve been finding for a forge de laguiole. And they have it. But what really got me to write a review was how welcoming he was throughout the entire purchase. I was in France earlier and couldn’t find it. Hence when I saw this, I just had to get it and he was so good in not only ensuring I was safe with opening and closing the knife, but the convo after, it was just refreshing. And I also manage to top up my zippo lighter here as they also use it to wipe the sticker stains off. Hope you remember me man. Cause next time I’m in Amsterdam, I’ll come over again. Beautiful country and they made my trip so worth it. Thank you!
Cool knife shop in Amsterdam. The best knife shop I’ve seen in Europe and the staff is excellent, very knowledgeable and professional. The first two pictures are of this expensive brand of handmade knives with high tech steel treatments called Rockstead. New to me. They are made by a small seven man team in Japan, using advanced production methods combined with hand polishing and and embedded coloration of the blade. The first one starts at €1200! Beautiful though, with a well placed and functional ray skin insert for added grip and stability in the milled and polished titanium handle. The proprietor, Vincent, is a collector himself, with a deep knowledge of his trade and a nice guy to talk to.
I came here last April and I made my way upstairs to ask for air rifle advice.The knife collection was beautifully presented and he gave me some recommendations for air rifles.We discussed knife legislation together and agreed that knives in cities are OK enclosed in their boxes, but not available for immediate use. He told me automatics are forbidden but it didn't matter as the selection here more than catered for that omission. It's just presentation and quality of knives that seemed to matter. It was in a busy food area of Amsterdam, in the middle of a row of shops. It has a charming, authentic feel to it which I like, so I'll visit again sometime.
Visiting this shop was the highlight of my trip to Amsterdam! I popped in to have a look at the different knives that they had and got to chat to the shopkeepers who were very lovely and helpful. I ended up visiting a second time and actually bought a knife, the Spyderco Delica. Excellent customer service and the guy who sold the knife to me was really knowledgable and patient. Just to add, knives can be a male dominated space, however I felt very welcome at the shop and the guys were super friendly. Thanks for a great experience
Upstairs for cutlery, ground floor is dedicated to cannabis culture. I dealt with 3 staff, all helpful and knowledgeable. Was left to gawp undisturbed, but they wete happy to let me examine items. No sales pressure. Good range of quality knives, as opposed to gharish tat. Prices more or less on a par with Heinnie Haynes in the UK. Range of stock and friendly, competent staff make Old man stand outand merit a detour for enthusiasts passing through northern europe. Spyderco fans be alert for sprint runs.
A great knife store, they have a vast collection of knives ranging from low prices to expensive ones. The staff is friendly, talkative and really helpful. I described what kind of blade I wanted to add to my collection and the staff was immediately able to point me to different options. I purchased a Magnum stiletto style blade with assisted opening and I am more happy with it. Definitely looking forward to visiting and purchasing a new blade next time I am in Amsterdam.
The most fun I had as a tourist in Amsterdam wasn’t biking around the downtown center, nor was it at the red light district. It was spending an hour at the Knife store, looking at knives, chatting with the store attendants, and seeing the passion in their eyes as they explained custom knives, swords, and knife mechanisms. I felt free, and at peace. It’s an amazing store with amazing people, take time to chat and explore!
Хороший выбор ножей на любой вкус и кошелек. Толковые консультанты. Если что интересует конкретно из представленных брендов - стоит им заранее отписаться. Отвечают быстро, привезут/придержат. Смотрите сайт, он отражает действительность по наличию товара в магазине, хоть и работает медленно. Цены в среднем - ОК. Cold Steel дороговат. На Spyderco и Lionsteel вполне приличная цена. На CRKT - очень приемлемая.
I bought a BUCK last Saturday. Both gentleman working there were very helpful with their skilllevel and experience with knives of all kinds. Shop is very divers with all sorts of blades and a little story behind each and every piece. To everyone looking for a knife: Please take your time to listen to these guys unless you know exactly what you need? Totally worth the trip from Hamburg! Highly recommended!
Een aantal maanden geleden een zakmes aangeschaft bij deze winkel. Een paar weken later een EDC zaklampje. Zeer tevreden over de prijs, kwaliteit en de service. Al een aantal keer terug geweest om te kijken en er is altijd wel wat nieuws te zien. Vriendelijk personeel die je goed helpt en de tijd voor je neemt. Zeker de moeite waard om langs te gaan!
Heb gisteren Spyderco PM2 aangeschaft bij deze winkel. Tegen de beste prijs in de hele land, en ook gelijk van de plank! Was netjes geholpen door Joris, hij heeft ook een handige tip over de wetgeving gedeeld. Ze hebben daar een enorme collectie van allerlei soorten messen. En kunnen over iedere model alles vertellen. Ben erg blij mee.
The experience was excellent. I went in looking for a quality straight razor and I ended up having a wonderful conversation with the man working today about our shared passion for knives. He helped me find exactly what I was looking for and my dad and I actually ended up hanging out there for a while because the experience was so good!
This place is any real hobbyist's dream location: vast selection, very reasonable prices for EU, and (most importantly) knowledgeable and welcoming staff who aren't trying to sell you something quick and shove you out the door, but truly enjoy what they do. Old Man is a must-see for enthusiasts (or just the average knife shopper).
Ik heb hier afgelopen week een prachtige katana gekocht met behulp van twee mannen die hier met veel enthousiasme en kennis over wisten te vertellen. Het enthousiasme is erg aanstekelijk en het is erg interessant om naar te luisteren. Heel erg bedankt voor het helpen uitzoeken van zo een mooi cadeau!
Good advice, knowledgeable staff. Prices are higher than any online shopping experience but when spending 100+ eur on a knife, you want to hold it and feel it. After taking up more than an hour of the staff's precious time, I didn't have the audacity to go home and buy it online to save 11 eur
Uiterst vriendelijk en kundig personeel. Voor mij is het echt een leuk uitje om de winkel te bezoeken en uiteindelijk met een grote glimlach en aankoop naar buiten te wandelen. Dikke aanrader voor o.a de nieuwsgierige messen liefhebber! Zeer uitgebreide collectie kwaliteitsmessen
Geweldige winkel. Ik heb hier all een aantal dingen gekocht. De kwalitijd is goed. De verkopers zijn vriendelijk en hebben verstand van de spullen die ze verkopen. Als je in amsterdam bent en je verzamelt messen of je wilt gewoon even kijken. Het kan hier gewoon niet miss gaan.
Bought a knife today. It was a great experience listening to the guy in the first floor with a passion for knifes and a lot expertise in brands, history, manufacturing and more. He takes time to help you find what you want. Great store - great guy. 100% recommendation. Thanks
This shop is simply amazing for everyone from a regular windowshopper to the biggest knife collectors! The biggest collections I've seen and the guys in the shop has an beautiful passion for what they. 10/10 - This will now be my main knifeshop!
ik hou van messen dus dit is al een geweldige winkel voor mij. ik heb hier ook voor mijn vriends verjaardag een vlindermes bieropener vandaan gehaald en hij vond hem geweldig. dus mocht iemand nog een idee nodig hebben voor een cadeau …
Great selection of knives and even better customer service. I will recommend visiting this store for those with those with even just a remote interest in knives. The staff are very helpful and knowledgable and obviously knife entusiasts.
Otto is a great guy, we're on a trip from NZ and he took the time to show me a bunch of very exclusive Spyderco knives which I'd never expect to see in my life. Awesome experience, great shop full of goodies and great staff too.
Der Shop hat eine riesen Auswahl an Messern aller Art. Die Preise sind mit Deutschland zu vergleichen. Wichtig: messerrecht in Holland ist nicht identisch mit Amsterdam!!! Hier ist das Führen jeder Art von Messern verboten!!!
This place and especially the guys working here are very knowledgeable. They are true enthusiasts and can tell you many things about blades. Go and visit and you'll definitely walk out with a nice knife and or a smile.
Très bonne accueille. Un personnel plus que simpatique qui fait partager sa passion à tout les age et à toute les personne. Variété énorme de couteau, hache, épée et autre objet en tout genre. Je conseille fortement !
Geweldige winkel!!! Ooit in 1994 mijn eerste mes hier gekocht. En altijd als ik samen met mijn vrouw een dagje Amsterdam doe koop ik hier een souvenir. In dit geval een böker tactical pen. Tot vrijdag!
Toller Laden mit einer super Beratung und toller Auswahl. Sämtliche Hersteller aus aller Welt sind vertreten. Großes Lob an die Verkäufer - die kennen sich wirklich gut aus und drängen nicht zum Kauf.
Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Echt een leuk gesprek gehad met de medewerker waarbij die mij goed advies heeft gegeven voor het slijpen. Zeker even langs gaan als je van messen houdt!
Kann den Shop sehr empfehlen, dort nimmt man seinen Job ernst und ma hat Qualitätsware. Nach dem Kauf wurde mir noch ein Basic Messer der Marke MORAKNIV mit einer ca.10cm Klinge geschenkt. TOP
Absolut TOP! Grosse Auswahl der bekannten Marken, aber auch im höheren Preissegment eine Auswahl vorhanden! Mit Liebe zum Detail! Sehr nettes Personal! Da werde ich sicher wieder einkaufen!
חנות יפה ומיוחדת מחלקות מגוונות ביקרנו במחלקת הסכינים תצוגה מרהיבה נתקלנו במוכר סבלני ומסביר בשיא המקצועיות רכשנו מספר פריטים קבלנו מחיר הגון יצאנו מרוצים עם רצון לחזור שוב תודה על הכל
Weer eens een mes gekocht bij old man. Altijd een leuke ervaring, personeel is erg kundig en goed geïnformeerd en ik sta daar meestal een uur rond te kijken en te praten. Leuk uitje.
Fui muito bem atendido, o que por si só já é suficiente para uma nota 10, contudo a loja ainda é muito completa, tendo quase tudo que você possa precisar em matéria de lâminas.
A wide selection of knives, and other outdoor gear. I purchased a nice German pocket knife for 165 Euro. It has two blades, fine German steel. My son loved it for his birthday.
Aardige mensen. Veel verstand van wat ze verkopen. Waarschuwen goed met wat er allemaal wel en niet mag met wat je koopt. Super tevreden en ik kom er al 30 jaar.
Spent well over 30 minutes just chatting with one of the guys and it's obvious they are really passionate about knives. Was a real pleasure to talk with them.
Well.. I love knives, they have a big selection of knives and tools to fulfill your camping and outdoor needs. They also have a very friendly staff
Thank you Kyle for your amazing service and patience I bought a protection gel spray for a very decent price 14.99€. The service was 10/10 …
Habe mir ein Forge de Laguiole gekauft. Sehr netter und gemütlicher laden mit einer schönen Auswahl. Es wird schön erklärt. Nettes Personal.

Super Laden man kann sich in Ruhe umschauen. Auch wenn man kein holländisch kann wird man super auf Englisch beraten. Ich komme wieder
