Let customers speak for us
from 130 reviews
ok, turned out to be a bit too small for me so I will have to get a medium but it has a great graphic on it!

Great knife, sharpened well and seems to be holding high sharpness very well (just what i was hoping for, so maybe some bias?). Anyway, the grind starts a fair bit down from the spine but due to thin blade stock and very good grind (I guess) it cuts like a laser none the less. This particular knife, though simple appearing, I would put right at the top of the heap on performance, so based on that metric, good price as well. Arrived timely from District Cutlery. Couldn't have asked for more.

Quick and easy.

I almost forgot how great it is to have sharp knives! Love them - thanks so much!!!

Excellent!

Love my new knife. Perfect size, shape, handle and gorgeous to look at.

This has changed the world of sharpening--specifically secondary edge thinning. Now I don't have to buy a 3' radius stone and find a place for it in my shop. Thanks, Ryan!

My knives were sharpened to perfection and definitely appreciated the fixing on the chip in one of them.

Fast turnaround - sent back out on same day received, and great quality work!

Knives are razor sharp and ready right on time. Reasonable price too!

They provide a fast and excellent service. Extremely friendly and helpful. I had two serated knifes sharpened while I had lunch.

Fast service and the knives are sharp, what else can one ask for!

Pleased with the knife and the recipient was grateful. While it may not be the most expensive knife available, it’s a great choice for a new college graduate to learn the value of a quality knife. Since it’s stainless steel, it can handle the potential learning curve. I did threaten to take it back if they put it in the dishwasher, however.

Gave a knife to a new college grad-this should keep it in good condition and hopefully protect some fingers as well
