Knife Stores in Washington, District of Columbia

"I love, love, love, love, love this shop. When I visit, I feel like family. The staff is wonderful, and knowledgeable and amazingly friendly and supportive. What's more, they sell high quality and unique products. This is the only place I'll ever go for all my kitchen needs. If you haven't had a chance to visit Hill's, you are missing out."

"Incredible shop, incredible selection, incredible owner. This place is such an over-the-top stuffed-to-the-gills kitchen / cooking supply store you can't help but be beyond totally charmed while you are also finding exactly what you were looking for every time. This is a store with an actual personality; and, not only is it a hoot to shop here but they always have exactly what you want. No easy trick!!"

"Recently stopped in to purchase my husband a birthday gift related to his new hobby of breadmaking (I know--he is late to the game post-pandemic). The new owners were so friendly and helpful. I was skeptical since the original owner was the epitome of the store but the new owners are restaurant industry insiders and gave me helpful tips of what to buy. I love supporting this local shop and you can find something for everyone. I love getting cute ..."

"I had a bit of a syrup emergency and was desperately looking for a specific Vermont maple syrup. I called the store, explained my situation, and the sweetest woman on the phone totally understood she even set it aside for me until I could get there. I’d never been here before, but the kindness she showed and the warm, cozy vibe of the store made me feel so welcome. It turned a stressful moment into such a lovely experience. I’ll definitely be com..."

"I don't remember when I first started going to District Cutlery, but I've been going here for sharpening and minor blade repair for maybe 7 or 8 years by now. I am an amateur cook, not a professional, and they do an excellent job keeping my kitchen knives in excellent, sharp working order. I have recommended the shop to countless friends over the years. The prime difference between D.C. and the standard sharpener or sharpening machine at your lo..."

"I've bought 3 knives from this place. 2 chefs knives, one for myself and one for a friend. And a pairing knife for myself. All were reccomended to me based on my needs and preferences. They gave me the perfect options for my proposed budget and did not try to upsell me. They're all personable and knowledgeable in their craft. Their sharpening service is amazing as well. I brought my knives back to be sharpened and they returned them with a perfec..."

"There isn't a lot of local options for me to get high-end cutlery in Corpus Christi, TX, where I live, so I have repeatedly turned to District Cutlery for help, and they have come through repeatedly. The customer service is always good; they carry the brands I enjoy using, and, most of all, they actually work for your business. The gentleman I always speak to, Ozzy, is always willing to answer questions, help me make decisions, and offer me optio..."

"A fantastic store that packs an amazing selection for the size of the space. Stainless and carbon steel of all stripes, with pieces as beautiful as they are functional. Compared to various online stores that sell comparable knives, prices are absurdly reasonable. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and are happy to help talk through the smallest of details when picking something out. Beyond buying new, District Cutlery is one of the few places..."
