A & M Cutlery

I came upon this store while visiting the Westfield Galleria Mall in Roseville. Since I’m not out on this side of town that often, it was a nice treat to explore the mall. I spotted this cuttlery shop when I first walked through the mall entrance. But this place is a lot more than what the store name presents! This is not your typical kitchen gadget store! I was surprised to find that they had on display, decorative swords, knives, weapons, suits of armor, ancient helmets, shields, and other props of eras past and movie replicas. A geek’s dream store such as I who has collected similar memorabilia back in the day.
Usually these kinds of collectibles can be somewhat pricey and has hindered my continued purchases. Yes, the original price tags did show expensive mark ups. But alas, I found myself in the midst of simultaneous happy and sad feelings while browsing here. Most of the merchandise had been marked down 60% on that day! Great bargains galore could be found. This is when the happy feelings took over. I wanted to buy out the store, but controlled myself with visions of future household bills looming on the horizon. So I limited myself to 2 items. Then, the sad feelings hit me. The store is going out of business. Here is a store that carries the unusual, the strange and unique. The kind of stuff you might only find at Sci Fi conventions or online. Now that I know where this place is, it will soon be no longer… :(
