Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Warren was super helpful and patient while I narrowed down my options- even with the AC down! Everyone here on the whole team is super knowledgeable about what they sell and they’re very passionate about what they do. I ship my knives here from out of state rather than go to anybody else for service, and I’ve never found a shop with a better team.
