Knife Stores in Rochester, New York

"My boyfriend and I made a trip from Syracuse specifically for The Steel Source and it was 100% worth the drive. Artis and his wife were extremely kind and pleasant to speak with. Artis was patient and took the time to show us multiple knives and explain the specifics of every one. We both left with new knives that we are very happy with and that work perfectly for us and what we need. I recommend The Steel Source not only for their amazing select..."

"I visited the store just for something to do. My jaw dropped when I walked in. I’ve never seen a knife selection anything close to this store. The owners are wonderful. They are patient and know their products! I could spend hours and hours looking, touching and learning. Artis is such a nice guy. He opened case after case and let me handle whatever I wanted see. The selection was nothing I’ve seen before. My only complaint is I live 6 hours away..."

"GREAT STORE, GREAT SELECTION. I HAVE KNOWN THE OWNERS FOR YEARS AND I FEEL LIKE FAMILY WHEN I STOP IN. GREAT SELECTION OF KNIVES, SURVIVAL GEAR, PERSONAL DEFENSE, AND FANTASY GEAR. I TRY TO STOP IN MONTHLY TO SEE WHAT'S NEW IN STOCK. I ALSO TEND TO BRING FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN WHO LIVE OUT OF TOWN. GREAT EXPIRENCE EVERY VISIT. Fast forward 5 years. I stopped in to buy a hard to find Kurshaw Balisong. Artis had in stock and his price was as low..."

"Artis was very helpful and knowledgeable about his products and the laws of New York. Coming from Arizona, it is nice to know the dumb laws in New York. Went in there for a specific couple of knives and walked out with 2 completely different knives because of Artis's knowledge of his products. I'm definitely going to be going back for more knives, maybe even a sword, since he has a wide array of products. If you are looking for any kind of blade,..."

"I'm sad to say that I had a terrible experience. Purely on skill of promised service... the employees and store are fantastic! This is only a review regarding sharpening services. I had a special request for a professional sharpener and knife expert. I brought in a $400 hand crafted bushcrafter knife with minor surface scratches and chips in the blade. I was told by Chuck that he had the experience, knowledge and tools to get the job done correct..."

"I visited the store today a bit after 1pm with the intent to purchase a new set of pots and skillets for our new induction range. I’ve done research on the brands carried by Cooks World (Made In, Cuisinart, AllClad) but I wanted to speak with someone from the store about their thoughts on the different brands. We bought our first set of AllClad 34 years ago from CW, and remember the wonderful service. Over the years I’ve stopped by for other item..."

"Cook's World has a good selection of cooking and baking equipment, focusing primarily on midrange and higher end brands. Their selection of pots and pans is particularly strong, and their knife selection, while not vast, is better than many stores of this type that I've been to. Pricing is variable; some items are offered at market rate or even a slight discount, whereas others, particularly the less expensive offerings, are sometimes marked up. ..."

"I really love Cooks’ world. And it upsets me to leave this review. My mom and I moved here 5 years ago and cherish this store. But on Saturday I was searching for a good knife. I’ve bought many different kitchen tools here. I walked out and bought a lovely knife. But my poor review is for the sales associate servicing me. I am unsure her name. I explained I had surgery on my nerves in my hand and needed a light and small knife because I love to ..."

"The people working there were just as friendly as they were knowledgeable about the knives they were selling. They were able to answer all my questions and they carried almost all of the major makers in the market. I definitely see myself becoming a regular customer here and highly recommend anyone looking for good blades for good prices to check them out. Also check them out at their website."

"I would strongly recommend Blades For Life. I've been twice and will definitely return. They have a great selection and wide range inventory, if they don't have it they will get it for you. The staff are all very very knowledgable and helpful. They honor veterans and first responders by offering a discount."

"Great experience finding an edc knife. The staff is great and are friendly. I bought an Emerson and a spiderco from here and they are great knives,also got an okc knife from here too. Definitely recommend you stop by and check out what they have"

"One of, if not the coolest knife shop I’ve went into. The people that work there are some of the nicest and coolest people that I’ve met in a long time. If you collect pointy things I highly recommend this place"
