When you walk through the door here you're greeted by the soft scent of leather. Not overwhelming but comfortable, it is probably the most pleasant thing about the place. The walls and racks are hung with leather bags and jackets and belts and hats, and I was pleased to notice the biker jackets are the real deal, heavy leather and reinforced in the right spots for people who really ride, not some twit who wants to 'look cool' but wears something stupidly soft. There are knives in cabinets and walking sticks and the wares are all quite good. So why only 3 stars? Service. there is none. If I were rating this place solely on service, it would be a 2. The quality of the goods draws it up to a 'meh.' I was looking for a walking stick. I saw one I liked. and tried it out. The gentleman said they could cut it down if needed. I was thinking it was barley tall enough but I tried it and decided I could use it for support. I walked to the counter to buy it. The woman and the man who run the place were talking. I was standing right there holding out the stick I know they saw me trying. The didn't look at me or ask me to hold on or 'we'll be right with you. The woman was talking about someone who called about getting some shoes and was upset about not having the color she wanted. The man was correcting the woman's conversation about the wares they had-why I have no idea. but again, neither looked at me or said a word. When the woman declared "I am just too busy to do anything about this." I had to bite my lip from saying "Doing what?" because it wasn't helping customers. I decided if they didn't want my custom, they could keep their stick and I'd keep my money. I put the stick back in the rack and walked out and didn't hear a word from them. Looking at other reviews here it is clear this is not an isolated occurrence, and their service or lack thereof is the worst thing, almost the defining thing, about the store and has been for the last few years. They do have nice stuff and some people are very happy but for the service? it seems like a crap shoot and ask yourself, do you really want to risk it?

A very nice shop run by extremely good people nestled in the quaint village of New Hope, PA. Fred Eisen and his family run a very welcoming and comfortable small business with professionalism and integrity. I was looking for a particular Benchmade Knife, and Fred had just about every Benchmade available in-house. He took his time and showed me different models; different types of knives from custom to commercial, all high-end products of extreme quality fantastically priced. If you want authentic, original products at great prices, then I fully recommend Fred Eisen Leather and Art Knives ????

Great shop! Unfortunately, I live a bit too far away to visit in person, but Fred is extremely responsive to questions, and he ships extremely quickly. I ordered a knife from him on a Saturday, and it was in my hands on Monday. Fantastic customer service, and highly recommended!

My son-in-law and I agree....Fred Eisen's is the best shop in New Hope! Separately we've bought some great knives from him. And my husband I both treated ourselves to leather jackets...also one of Fred's great leather bags...and just recently purchased his handmade belts for my son and son-in-law. The best.

The lady who works there is really rude and bugs you the entire time you are looking around. I would never purchase from here. I was about to buy a knife but since she was terrible I ordered the same knife from a different company online. I would rather pay the shipping then give that lady business.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. If you're a knife collector or just like to own nice cutlery, this place is heaven. Tons of inventory at competitive prices. Fred has a wonderful eye for the unique and exotic. There's also an eclectic collection of leather shoes, accessories and outerwear. I actually bought my favorite suede jacket there close to 15 years ago and still enjoy wearing it. This is a must stop if you're in the New Hope/Lambertville area. Great selection & great people. Kudos.

Came back almost two years later to leave a review. The belt from Fred Eisen has traveled with me to Colorado. I believe I spent $50-$60 dollars on this belt and thought, “boy, it ain’t cheap, but that’s real leather.” That is how business works, you get two of the three: fast, cheap, quality. I got fast and quality. Two years ago he sized me up, clipped the belt himself, and handed it over to me. I have taken this brown belt up 14,000ft mountains. I have taken this belt fine dining. I have taken this belt rock climbing. I have taken this belt around the country. I have had not one single issue; actually not true, I should’ve bought three more belts while I was there. This is one of those small businesses that makes you proud that we make quality items in our country. To the owners of Fred Eisen’s leather: thank you for a belt that has me writing a review two years later, my hat is off to you.

What a fascinating store - smells good, too! All that leather. The small, soft black and purple purse that I bought is just a treat! Well made, just big enough so I have to think before trying to stuff EVERYTHING inside - I use it every day. (The inside zipper is red - which shows up so brightly against the black and makes it very easy to see).
