Super nice staff! Never been here before, and they were super nice. They were super knowlegable on every single knife they had. They helped me find the perfect knife although I know nothing about them. Would definitely recommend, they've got a large selection.

I can't recommend this place highly enough. I've been twice now to have my knives sharpened, everything from a daily chef's knife to steak knives to a Japanese knife of high personal value. They were friendly, fast, and gave great advice to keep them sharp. Don't sleep on the supplies they have either, I picked up a few quarter sheets and silicon mats for incredibly reasonable prices.

What a great experience. I wanted to purchase everything! I settled for a complete set of Victorinox knives and multiple uniforms. It was worth the journey. This will be my go to spot.

These guys are awesome, great customer service. It's like a kid going into a candy store for a chef, every time I go in I come out with something else to add to my tools for either work or a t home. The will sell you the most expensive knife if you want or they will also talk to you about what knife you like to use for what items? We all know that most professional chefs and many home chefs gravitate to one or two knives usually. They will not sell you something you don't need and they can usually make you a great deal on some really good knives and some great toys.

I brought three knives in to be sharpened. A Dalstrong barong chef knife, a Gerber LMF II survival knife and my edc Benchmade mini griptilian. All three were sharpened perfectly and the price of $5 a blade can’t be beat. Very happy I found these guys.

These guys know what they are doing with any kind of kitchen knife you give them. They are true professionals. We don't trust our knives to anyone else. They are very reasonably priced and we don't have to go very often at all because they do such a fantastic job. Highly recommend without reservations!

These guys are incredible!
I had been putting off getting my knives sharpened for a long time. My kitchen knives were dangerously dull when I finally decided to pay someone to put a new edge on.
I searched for someone to do it and found the Knife guys, and choose them because of location. I was going to be in that area of town the next day and figured it would be convenient.
It was better than convenient! I walked in and they were super friendly and super knowledgeable. I brought in 3 knives and instantly the guy recognized one and said, “This one your favorite?”
It was! But they can tell

Got all of my knifes sharpened here the other day, including my mini auto Kershaw. They did a great job at a reasonable price; less than 24hr turnaround* Thanks!

I've taken my kitchen knives here every Spring for the last 5+ years for sharpening, and they always do a great job. And the price (mine are just $4 each) can't be beat!

I've taken my German knives here probably a dozen times over the last few years and have always been totally satisfied with the sharpening and, frankly, surprised by the more than pleasant customer experience.

I took a set of Cutco& Wusthof knives and 4 pairs of scissors to this business and they destroyed them all. I just took the scissors to a different person who did a fabulous job and pointed out the my Cutco scissors would not be able to be sharpened again. If this was the only knife sharpening Busisness on the planet, I would by the equipment to sharpen my knives rather than let them touch them again.

The staff are very knowledgeable about their products and how to care for them. Went in super frustrated after trying to make do in the kitchen with the crappy knife selection. The sweet young man at the counter was extremely helpful and we found the perfect knife that suited my needs and was in my price range. I got the knife home and am THRILLED with my purchase. After dealing with what I've been using to chop veggies, this knife is a DREAM. Smooth as butter. I'll definitely be coming back for my next knife!

Took in a block of old Sabatier knives that are about 20 years old to get sharpened, including the kitchen shears. THE BEST!!! These knives are better now than when first bought. Turn around time was only one day and the price is very reasonable. These guys are incredible.

I've been taking my knives to The Knife Guys for almost 20 years. It all started when I found their mobile service "Rolling Stone Knife Sharpening" and ever since they moved into their retail store. I have always received excellent service and of course the sharpest knives. I've tried a couple of other knife sharpening services but none come close to the price & service you get from The Knife Guys. In my opinion this is the only place to go. While you're in the store look around for other kitchen items you may need. They have an excellent selection not only for restaurants

This is a nice little restaurant supply store that also happens to offer professional knife sharpening. It is so important to protect your knife investment. Those Henckels (and the like) can easily run $100 or more each and are built to last a lifetime but they require care.

If you're like me your good knives only get a workout on a steel occasionally and probably go in the dishwasher sometimes (which they really should not). Hence the need for a trip to the pros once a year or so. Since the holidays are approaching and you'll probably be in the kitchen more you should treat yourself

Location has moved from Hampden, now at 11 N. Kalamath St.
We had knives to sharpen, as my wife is not happen with my way of sharpening our knives. Checked around at other places, where prices were higher, time for completion was a week to 14 days, but Not at Knife Guys.

They promised in a day and a half, and the knifes are SOOO sharp. The attention to detail, with delivering them in knife covers and finish work, its the best. The whole family can not believe how sharp the knives are.

We strongly recommend these "guys"
