Customer Reviews
"I learned about Cutting Edge after I discovered the previous sharpening service I'd been using for several years had abruptly gone out of business. I was a little skeptical when I first gave over my knives for repair, but I was sold when they came back to me after Mike's first sharpening job. The result was incredible, and better than any other service was able to provide in recent years. The turn-around time was very quick and the price was most..."
"Mike and the staff at Cutting Edge are just amazing. After we have our knives sharpened, it's like we just purchased brand new knives. Our knives stay sharp for a very long time -- and we use them daily! The quality of the service Cutting Edge provides, as well as the friendly and personable interactions, the convenience of the drop-off opportunities, and the very reasonable prices, make Cutting Edge the best option to keep our quality knives in ..."
"Cutting Edge Sharpening LLC has been taking great care of my cutting shears for almost 3 years now. As a busy Hairdresser, I can’t afford to lose business with faulty shears that just don’t make the cut, but that hasn’t been a problem since using Cutting Edge! Great attention to detail and I’m always a satisfied customer! My wife also likes to gets her kitchen knives sharpened so that she never has to worry about dull knives while prepping dinner..."
"This business doesn't have a store front, but the reviews were good so I decided to try it. All communications were through text. He had me leave the knives on a rack on the porch. When I picked them up, they were on the rack again and I dropped the agreed upon payment in the lockbox. I found the lack of contact a bit strange...but...My knives have never been so sharp! I just sliced a raw steak for stir fry. I might as well have been cutting butt..."

"Well, I have the gen 1 wicked edge and its given me dozens of mirror sharp edges, the reason I'm leaving this review is not how great the product is only. Yes, can't say enough about how great the system is and how it performs. But another very important thing to me is how a company stands behind their product and without a doubt that in itself deserves 5 stars. emailed them about my problem and they resolved it right away, great fast customer se..."

"My most recent experience with Las Cosas involved our Jura S8 automatic coffee machine, which we dearly love. I commented about the fact that it was not grinding the beans and I was going to have to send it back to the factory again after having it refurbished one year and a half ago. Cheryl, the employee helping me, suggested I speak with owner Mike Walker. Mike came out front immediately and confirmed that the Jura rep. was coming to the sto..."
"We just had a cooking class with Chef Johnny Vee and the Las Cosas Cooking School, and I can't express how happy we are with our cooking experience with Chef Vee, the class and the food! We had a fantastic time with his New Mexican Menu and he couldn't' have been a more fun and kind soul cook with. The kitchen and store were nice, clean, and organized. Everything was hands on and his education and instruction was well planned, organized and u..."
"For more years than I like to count, I’ve been enjoying this well-stocked cooking emporium. The owners taught me about the beautiful Staab cookware that to me, is the sports car of cooking pots. Beautiful colors and super performance, and a joy to use. Years ago, one of the sales associates helped me pick out a pressure cooker. He spent so much time with me making sure I understood the physics of pressure cooking, and the options for converti..."
"My son and I stopped here on an "out west" trip on our way to Philmont, the Boy Scout Camp. We had an opportunity to take a class about using kitchen knives. It lasted about two hours. We had a blast. We did hands on cutting and slicing of vegetables and actually got to meet and speak with the Wusthof Knife Company representative who was there that day. We were able to speak with the owner to made time to also speak with us about knives and other..."

"In short: Great selection of higher end knifes, picked up a Kabar, been a great tool to take along with me into the forest. Also been eyeballing some gil hibben throwing knifes and a Benchmade Osborne they have. In long: Knives make great gifts, I've bought two for veterans day. One for my dad and one for my grandfather. The only negative was choosing a knife. Ended up buying two victorinox's Swiss army knives. With custom patterns on both. Als..."
"Don't get ripped off by other shops selling cheap junk knives for extremely expensive prices just because it's in the Santa Fe Plaza. If you want real quality at the right price then Cutlery of Santa Fe is where you want to go. And if it's true hand forged high quality knives you're looking for then they usually have a few of the knives that I make. I put an incredible amount of time and labor and my heart and soul into every knife I make. I guar..."
"It is really a breath of fresh air to find custom kitchen cutlery and not just folders and hunting knives. With the interest in so many cooking shows I'm surprised many custom knife makers have not jumped on this new insurgence of folks who want quality knives for everyday use and have some knives they can really be proud of. The blades are Japanese, Damascus , and very sharp, the handles are beautiful but they should be made with more girth as t..."
"Incredible selection of knives of all kinds, shears, scissors of other kinds, tweezers so pointy they need caps, cutlery, letter openers, and more, all in a very tiny space. The owner has been buying Swiss Army knives since before he had the shop - the color array will make you smile. Take some time, have a chat, and find your perfect Santa Fe Stoneworks pocketknife. Everyone needs one, right? Right in the La Fonda building, with street access."
