Knife Stores in Nashville, Tennessee

"I waited WAY too long to find someone local to sharpen my knives. I took my newest knife in, and it was turned around in a day. It turned out better than the day I bought the knife. I quickly gathered all my other knives and will never wait to have them sharpened again. Very professional, very fast, and VERY affordable. 7/23/25 Update-Still taking my knifes to Sharp Edge 615-many more now as I’ve acquired a few more over the past couple of years...."

"For years my knives were sent to NY for sharpening. When they decided to only sharpen knives purchased from them I looked locally. And I am glad I did. Great people and sharper knives. Love it...and you will also."

"Lovely sharpening service, immaculate results! Very glad to have found a quality sharpening service with whom I can trust my chef knives. I rely on them for work and I don’t have the time or patience to get skilled at using wetstones myself 😂 Highly recommend to anyone who needs traditional wetstone sharpening! Affordable, wonderful results, and fast turnaround. He even reprofiled some chipped blades I had and they’re like new now. Thank you..."

"I can’t recommend this knife sharpening service enough. They take incredible care of my knives, treating each one like a prized tool rather than just another blade. Every time I get them back, they’re razor-sharp and feel as good as new. The turnaround time is impressively quick, so I’m never without my favorite Japanese knives for long. If you’re looking for precision, professionalism, and top-tier craftsmanship, this is the place to go. Absolut..."

"I had four dull knives that needed sharpening. I had tried to do them at home and also considered bringing them to Ace Hardware but wasn't confident they'd be able to handle two of them as they're Japanese knives with a special blade angle. Based on the Google reviews, I brought them to Steve at Blade Butler. He was flexible on timing, so I dropped them off on the way to work and they were ready to pick up by lunchtime. The knives were incredibly..."

"Steve Copan is a master knife sharpener! I now refer to his as "The Blade Runner". I brought him 8 of my knives and they are in better shape now then when I bought them. Do yourself a favor and bring you knives to Steve...I promise you will not be disappointed. A sharp knife is a safe knife! Oh, by the way, prices are incredibly reasonable too!"

"After attempting to sharpen my own knives with a wet stone and a YouTube video, I Googled a professional and found Blade Butler and Steve. I brought Steve 9 knives that were in desperate need of a sharpening and his work, as others have said, is excellent. Not only is he outstanding at his trade, he is also very personable and a pleasure to work with - his turnaround was equally amazing as my knives were ready for pickup the same day, although ..."

"Have you been putting off getting your knives sharpened? It’s time to cross that item off your to do list. Steve at Blade Butler did a great job with my chef’s knives, and it’s so much nicer to chop with them now. It was so easy to contact him, drop them off at his home, and they were ready when he said they would be. Great communication and great service. My only wish is that I’d taken my knives sooner. All around an A+ experience."

"Great place with an enormous inventory. After some discussion, I ended up taking the owner’s advice and decided on a Protech Strider PT + Auto. The knife is fantastic and his prices are very fair. Owner was super nice and extremely knowledgeable, and professional. I never felt pressured or misled and truly enjoyed the entire experience. If you are a Nashvillian; I highly recommend checking them out and supporting a great local business. 10/10."

"The men from Nashville Tactical lounge saved my life. I went in with a friend 4 days ago to look at a cute (mostly aesthetic) blue knife. One of the men said he’d be happy to show me the knife, but asked what I wanted it for. When I said self defense, he told me there were much sturdier, more practical options that would be better suited for that purpose. He showed me several other knives and helped me practice deploying them. I initially said t..."

"Was super excited to see that this store was right across from where we just moved as we are gun owners/enthusiasts. We went to visit Sunday morning and when we walked in it was almost like we were made to feel like we didn’t belong there…not sure if it was cause we were girls or what but the guy behind the counter backhandedly answered my girlfriends question about their stock almost as if she was stupid? Which is crazy because she knows absolut..."

"I have probably bought….Hell, I don’t know? 10 knives or more from here so I am used to going here, but today was different. I have been looking, searching, waiting, EVERYWHERE for this one specific knife. I mean….its been like a year plus and they are out of stock EVERYWHERE! They DO NOT exist on the internet. I randomly walked into just to say hi to Mark and the fella’s and BAM! They have a MASSIVE selection of the knife I wanted! Differ..."

"Came in to find salt + pepper grinders for a house warming gift. The shop has tons of items, all displayed in a way that makes them easy to shop from! The team member in the store was approachable, and able to check the stores inventory easily to verify that they had sold out of a certain item I was looking for - not often you can get that accurate of an answer on store inventory! My recipient absolutely loved dual action salt/pepper grinder gift..."

"This is such a charming little kitchen gadget store in Belle Meade that I just discovered! There is a serious effort to offer things here not found in other stores (despite Nashville's extensive cookware and grocery options)! They have high-quality Frieling pans that are difficult to find elsewhere, unique kitchen tools, and a serious selection of chef's knives! They also have tapenades, a little produce, and gourmet cheeses not found at Whole F..."

"I placed an online and soon afterwards realized that I had ordered two of one item. Jessica had it removed before we even arrived. Both the gentleman and lady in the shop were very kind, helpful and friendly. They were knowledgeable but not pushy. I would love to go for a cooking class sometime but in any case definitely will return to this shop. I love that it is a small, local business."

"Lots of heart and soul in this kitchen store! I’ve taken an olive oil tasting class and a risotto cooking class. Both were fantastic, delicious, and fun! A wonderful way to meet new people and learn something new. The store has a nice curated selection of goods. A great place to buy a gift for your friends or family!"

"The business is very courteous and professional but the best part - the most incredible part - is that they pick up and deliver in the Nashville area FOR FREE! I was dreading having to drive to the airport area and because of this it saved me hours of travel time due to traffic. They also fixed a German knife that was damaged by another knife sharpening place. The prices are very fair and reasonable. I was overcharged accidentally but was immedia..."

"Call first before you go. Price is right and they did a great job on variety of kitchen blades. They even fixed a broken tip of a knife I had long ago written off as useless. Same day turnaround."

"So I am a very cautious about who I trust with my belongings, but needless to say my knifes needed to be sharpened. I found this place on google, and was super nervous about dropping them off! The sharpener made me feel very comfortable about trusting him with my knives, and I see why! My knives were better than brand new when I received them back! He was also very knowledgeable about the knives, and explained everything to me that he did to my k..."

"I have send out my shears to sharpening world on 10-13 -25 I have not get them back been calling no one ever pick up emails come back 2 time I left messages no call back are they legit? Was going to give 1 star but it didn’t let me I guess 2 stars for free label and avoiding me they probably going to keep my professional shear what can I do?"

"I was going to pass on the bad review, but after seeing the reviews congruent with my experience I had to put my 2 cents in. Strange vibe upon engaging. Uncomfortable asking questions because of the thick attitude. How can a retail business survive while treating customers like "less than" individuals. If you've superior knowledge, you're responsible for educating less knowledgeable. NOT being condescending to them. Good luck boys."

"This is a great gun shop! I drove from Alabama to buy a rifle at this shop. They had a great selection of guns and ammo. I was able to find a gun at this store that I was unable to find in stock anywhere online or in any gun shop in a 200 mile radius. While I was there, I found another rifle that was in stock that has been difficult to find so I ended up leaving with 2 guns. They also had ammo in stock that I have had issues finding at other stor..."

"Never been so rudely addressed in my life! A clerk leaned in and told me he couldn’t sell ammo to me because he smelled Marijuana. I assured him it wasn’t me! I’m a 62 year old professional. My wife and grandchildren were waiting for me in my Tundra in the parking lot! I can only assume it was because I was wearing my Tennessee gear. In the market for a Browning 25-06 or 7mm-08, but I can assure you Nashville Gun and Knife won’t get my busin..."

"After reading negative reviews I wanted to give NGK the benefit of a doubt until I tried to by a shotgun from them while visiting family. Gave me a tall tale about 26 states changed laws on transferring long guns to out of state buyers in July. Said they don't ship anymore when I asked if they would send it to the FFL I use at home. Too many places to buy guns to bother with NGK again."
