Knife Stores in Seattle, Washington

"Brian was lovely - handled multiple customers smoothly in a very busy moment! He took the time to talk me through the different options I was considering and even demonstrated several common techniques for sharpening so I would know how to use the tool. His expertise was evident, and I appreciated his knowledge sharing."

"Great knife store with great staff and selection. I purchased one of their house brand "Seacut" executive folders and it's become my favorite daily driver! Great design, great construction, super cool. Thanks! Update: bought a second one a couple years later as a back-up in case I lose the first one! Still my favorite EDC for slacks and jeans."

"Absolutely amazing customer service!! Brian was great! Awesome store, awesome products, awesome employees. He was knowledgeable and has such a great personality. He helped me pick the perfect knife for a gift and was supportive and helped in my moment of indecisiveness. I will definitely shop here again!!"

"I absolutely loved it! My partner bought me an early Christmas present, a fruit knife I'd wanted for ages, and it's perfect. Quality, price, and design: 10/10."

"Lately I'd been feeling so frustrated at my options for getting my knives sharpened in Seattle. All the walk-in storefronts either had a ridiculous, monthslong+ wait time (with no loaners offered?? Why.) or complicated rules for how/when/where you could use their services. I'm not a handy person so sharpening on my own was out of the question, plus I'm an avid home cook with a limited number of treasured chefs knives and keeping them sharp is so ..."

"We are really happy with the service. Very easy to drop off and pick up, and the knives were extremely sharp aftertwards! We were a bit hesitant to sharpen my girlfriend's beloved Santoku knife, but Brenda did an outstanding job. She also fixed a chipped Shun knife I damaged by unknowingly trying to cut through a lamb's bone. The knife looks like new! If I had to write a downside: one of the knives was so sharp I ended up cutting myself 3 times ..."

"I frequently pass by the sandwich board sign for this business and finally reached out to inquire about sharpening my kitchen knives. I opted for text and received a reply within a couple minutes that included a lead time and pricing. The value of this service is incredible....and the fact that it is a woman owned business AND local are just cherries on top. Brenda was friendly, a great communicator, and very talented. Within a day of drop-off, I..."

"I don't write too many reviews, but wanted to put this one out there. Brenda provided excellent service with clear and easy to follow coordination for dropping off and picking up my knives, payment, etc. I love supporting local businesses and this is just a quick bike ride away. And, most importantly, my knives came back super sharp and in better shape than they have been since purchased new many years ago. The pricing is very reasonable. I fully..."

"The BEST place to shop for all of your cooking needs! The staff are kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their customers. Great prices for quality products! You can beat Cookin at Madison Park!"

"This store has pretty much everything! I was looking for a certain size measuring spoon set, you know, the slimmer ones that go into the small spice containers? Found them! Great selection of cookbooks too. All kinds of nick-knacks that Mom and Grandma would have in their kitchens. I usually leave with much more than i went to buy in the first place. Love it."

"Great place. I was surprised to find it just a few mins from capitol hill. I got extremely knowledgable advise from someone who I presume was the owner. He knew everything, and gave me some good cooking tips as well on roasting (which worked). Price was really great. I will come back"

"What a great shop! I came in for two things and left with an armload. They have a wide selection of kitchen goods, from your basic tools to baking supplies to cast iron to lovely French linens and much more. I was surprised and delighted. Really happy to shop locally for cooking items at fair prices."

"I was nervous to drop off my nicer handforged japanese gyuto to be sharpened by someone else, but had accidently bent the tip slightly which was beyond my ability to fix. Albert is a friendly and knowledgeable professional who did an outstanding job restoring my knife's edge for a very reasonable price. If i ever run into an issue beyond my skill level again, Seattle Edge will be the first place I go. Thank you!"

"Brought in a warped, chipped, blade that hadn't been properly sharp in years, came back with something I could shave with. Good work at a fair price."

"Albert is a master of his craft! As a professional chef I value my knives hugely, and Albert gave them some much needed love. I don’t trust just anyone to handle my more expensive blades, but I certainly trust Albert. I’m not sure I have ever seen them as sharp as they are now, thank you Seattle Edge!"

"Albert is EXCELLENT! Highly recommend 🌟 Obviously cares about his work (and your knives!) which is appreciated and demonstrated in the results. Only downside, you need to plan ahead as he tends to be at least a month out. I do mine in two phases! ; ) …"

"What a dangerous discovery, lol. Specialty stores like this are some of the most fun places to visit, and I feel lucky that we have such an exceptional shop in Seattle. I am not super-deep into knife collecting, but I do really appreciate a nice chef's knife, pocket knife, and fixed blade utility/hunting knife. When you first drive up, the store is incredibly welcoming with an exceptional Henry mural painted on the outside. When you walk in, ..."

"Hello James here, I have to tell you that Daniels selection is FANTASTIC!! I regret having to shop anywhere else if he doesn’t happen to have the exact item after because his customer service is sensational and the care that goes into the shipping and how fast it gets to me is light years above any other store I shop at. THANK YOU DANIEL AND YOUR STAFF! Other stores charge me for my shipping and it takes three times as long to arrive. The website..."

"Walked in to blade gallery with no expectations, left a life-long customer god willing. Ended up getting the newest model of the mini crooked river and it is immediately my absolute favorite knife in my benchmade collection. Sam from the staff was excellent, enduring all of my questions and letting me check out whatever I wanted (along with changing my mind multiple times). He even gave me a benchmade hat and stickers with the knife which I have ..."

"Daniel and his staff were absolutely lovely, knowledgeable, patent, and helpful when I stopped in here to purchase my first knife. Any questions that I had in regards to what to buy, or what to look for, or how to do something was met with kindness and help. I can't wait to be back here to pick up other knifes of the same set. The gallery itself consists of a vast selection and will be a delight to anyone wanting to look around."

"BUYER BEWARE!!! If you buy a knife and have it mailed to you, YOU end up paying the shipping to and from your address if you return it. That is despite the website saying free shipping. The knife we received was okay. Nice packaging. Dull blade and smaller than anticipated (the latter is my fault), so we returned. Otherwise pretty good quality. Definitely wouldn't purchase anything else from this business. I don't mind paying the shipping to send..."

"I ordered a Yu Kurosaki bunka from them and the knife was delivered to me on Oahu, Hawaii, 96825 on time and as described, good purchase experience. My review for this was 5 star before, however, recently I got some promotional email from them and somehow in their email it addressed me as Sean Brown4 and misspelled my last name, even though my info with them is all correct as I show my first name as Sean and last name as Brown when I entered it,..."

"I didn't think to take a before and after photo since this was my first time getting some knives I had professionally sharpened and wasn't sure where my expectations would be but after picking up both my knives with my Leatherman needing the most work done after having a rough life and the blade being in not the greatest condition, seeing it now I am thoroughly impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of work for the very fair pricing (total ..."

"The Epicurean Edge isn't just a store, it's an experience. The showroom and available inventory is truly remarkable and unlike anything I've ever seen before. The selection of well known knife makers and local custom made items was very impressive. I personally am a huge fan of Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler's work and have never seen so many Winkler blades available and in stock anywhere else. Furthermore, the customer service was top notch. M..."

"Good morning, I had a fantastic team with Kendall at the helm assisting me in outfitting a satellite kitchen with All-Clad pans, cutting boards, Shun Knives, Mandolin, butter curler, I can go on and on, she went above and beyond locating, advising and suggestions including purchasing the Reidel glasses online for a better deal with the boxes of 8 red and white wine glasses instead of multiple 2 box packages, she also helped price shop for the ha..."

"I've gone to Sur La Table a fair amount and my daughter took classes there, but won't be going back again. I bought a (I thought) nice tangine with a gift certificate, and used it to cook something the same night. Unfortunately I used it on a small open flame, which caused it to crack. I should have read the box better, but when I brought it back I told them honestly what happened and they just told me I was out of luck. Again, I get that I sho..."

"I am an avid baker and my partner is a home chef. We love browsing cook and bakeware and buying the occasional treat for our kitchen. I have always wanted to go to Sur La Table in Pike, but have never gotten the opportunity. Today we finally had the time and decided to stop in and look around. We weren’t helped for a little while until an older gentleman started talking to us about glass mixing bowls. It was a pleasant and normal interaction. Not..."

"I stopped by today to purchase a stainless steel pan after many fail attempts to purchase a nice one. Charles was excellent. He provided me with an explanation of all the sets and explained to me how to properly heat it up, clean it up and even explained to me to hold each of them to make sure it was not to heavy for my wrist. I suffer from chronic wrist pain. He gave me time to look at all the sets and checked up on me to ensure I did not have a..."

"Visited to scout items for our registry and received the warmest of help from Ben. He was quick to fill in gaps of knowledge in our pursuit of knives and some Le Creuset pans, and gave desired direction. His help was positively impactful and I cannot sing his praises enough as a kind and professional presence."

"We bought a glass pitcher in late August and within a few days, there were cracks where the handle meets the body of the pitcher. There is no way that a misuse would have caused because it was just where the handle meets the body as if the connection for the handle could not support the weight. With the start of school, etc., we finally got around to go to the store in early October to return or exchange. The manager REFUSED to do exchange or ..."

"Whoever helped us with knives this past Friday 10m from closing time was nothing short of a gentleman and a scholar. While we really wanted to come back the next day just to chat and have him know how much we appreciated him, we ordered online because he gave us what we needed and we were too busy to return! Oh, the joys of home renovation... Things like convincing us *not* to buy a knife and explaining Shun's benefits and flaws (easily chipped)..."

"I made a purchase yesterday ant the University Village location, and asked for a gift receipt because the item was intended as a holiday gift. It was printed out for me. Went back to the store today to return it—having found a more suitable gift—only to be told the item was non-returnable as it was a clearance item! Imagine my surprise! There was no “Clearance” sign anywhere near the item display shelf, and no way for customers to know clearance ..."

"I ordered wood carving knives, order did arrive in time and in good order. The products are outstanding! Thank you very much!"

"A legit business to buy from. I had a great experience with this company. Will use this company again, without a doubt. Thank You."
