Abergavenny knife shop?

[Dartmoor navigator]

Evening folks.

I would like to nip in to Abergavenny or near by (camping at the mo) to purchase a half reasonable knife for a 10 year old. A wood handle 'bushcraft' style of sheathed blade that is sensible (and resonably priced). Any suggestions of shops would be really really useful.

I am checking in with a phone and limited signal / power so please forgive me if I don't respond until I get back.

I promised my lad he could use mine while we are away... alas it is knackered and needs some professional help I gad sourced a knife for him but it turns out the shop owner has noodles for brains and I will not hand over my dosh to hom on principle!!! can I name and shame this charlatan on my return??


anyway, your advice would be much appreciated.


Many thanks

I can't honestly think that there are any suitable shops around Abergavenny,
In fact not around Gwent nor Powys
- there might be something around Brecon, but it'll be hidden amongst a huge amount of military surplus.

I am more than willing to be proven wrong, so if you know of anywhere - please share it as I'd like to find a goldmine myself.

Thanks for that - yes, done Brecon to death really

I don't suppose there's a postal address you could get one sent to? (or that you will be away long enough to get there in time?)

There was a militaria type shop in St Micheals Road a few years back, not sure if it is still there now though

Thanks Stew, the angling shop may be worth a visit... I could always use a new rod as well

Sportsmans in Newport? There's also Gary Evans fishing shop.

I worked at Nevill Hall Hospital for a time and there was an outdoor shop in the town, hunting and fishing, Barbour jackets and shotguns type of place which if its still there may have something but would probably be pricey. There is a little surplus shop in Sennybridge tucked away on the left as you go up to the army camp which may have something for you.

Very many thanks to all of you for your responses.The hunting and fishing shop on the edge of town doesn't do knives. However, archery, fishing, vintage air weapons, taxidermy... etc etc. fantastic shop and the owner is a real gentleman, true customer service - top chap.For knives in Abergavenny; The general tool shop at the end of the arcade near Wilkinson's stocks a lot of knives, axes. etc. Mainly Swedish brands, and a good selection to choose from. Thank you again to all the post on this thread, very much appreciated and we are now sorted... along with some new arrows
