Sharp Edge in Sandton is gone :(

[Captain Hook]

To my dismay Sharp Edge Sharp Shooter has been sold to B&T.

I had a lot of fond memories of that store, I used to sneak out of St David's and go drool over the knives and talk crap to Mr Gordon.

How times changes, and not always for the best.

Holy..... I too had a lot of fond memories, my first major knife purchase was at the shop :(

Me too. It was a Kabar and I still have it. They were at the time in the Carlton Centre and I was a constable at Jeppe SAP. Used to sneak away and drool over the "real" knives. Really sad but change is a constant I suppose.

I bought my first set of gloves for full contact Karate from them in Carlton Centre. 1987. Memories....

That sucks!! I use to go there as a kid when my mother went shopping, I would spend the whole day in that store!
The owner literally wouldn’t mind a 10 year old kid in the shop for 3 straight hours just drooling over everything! Especially the swords

While that is fantastic news, I feel an era has just gone for me, strange times I suppose.

Half the fun of shopping at Sandton City was visiting sharp edge, even if just to browse.
