Great selection of merchandise PLUS fantastic customer service after the sale. Sent a replacement product at their expense! Outstanding commitment to quality and service after the sales. Recommend Seattle Cutlery at Pikes Market Place in Seattle WA

I have been struggling to find a place to sharpen my knives since moving to Seattle. The last place I went was super cheap but the edge wasn’t… great. The guy at Seattle Cutlery got my edges reground and even got a bent tip on my paring knife fixed. All done for a very reasonable $1/inch per knife and low regrinding edge fee. I’m happy with the edge and happy I found where I’ll return to when my knives need sharpening again.

They had a bunch of cool stuff for cooking / cutting. Great for gifts and shopping.

I had a wonderful experience looking for a new knife for my home set.The gentleman behind the counter gave me a great rundown of the Nakiris they offered at a moderate price point. And allowed me to handle the blades, and cut some veggies to get a good feel.The knives offered can be a little pricey, as the Nakiri I ended up purchasing was $180. You get what you pay for. Theyre beautiful knives with a wonderful craft and feel. And if its maintained, itll last you lifetimes.They do have cheaper options for knives as well, highly recommend this sweet shop.

Adorable place, wonderful owners, highly recommend a visit for some amazing gifts and also quality knives. They ship too for reasonable prices.

Sweetest shop owner I have ever met! He provided a very friendly, loving atmosphere for us upon entry into the shop. He helped my partner find the perfect knife set to take to and from work with him. My partner is a cook, and he very much appreciates high quality tools to work with. This is the place to go!

I must compliment Seattle Cutlery. They repaired two high quality knives i own that had significant damage. Results were better than I expected and cost was very good.I will also note I did have a customer service issue with Seattle Cutlery which was resolved professionally and to my satisfaction.They have been tested multiple ways and delivered quality. I’d use them again.

I dont really consider myself a knife person, but this store caught my attention. The display in the front of the store is cool. The store is a smaller space, but they have a large selection. The staff that I talked to really knew a lot about knives, and they sounded really passionate about what they did. Like a lot of shops on pike street, this one has character.

Cutlery store across the street from the famous Pike place market. Its a very busy area, so expect a little more difficult time finding a parking spot. The store itself is fairly small, but well stocked with kitchen cutlery essentials. Several high to low end kitchen knives are available, and they have cutting boards and some tester veggies for cutting practice.They also carry pocket knives; lots of swiss army knives available. Also at the time of this review, several Spyderco and Kershaw knives as well as assorted brands from overseas.As to be expected for a brick and mortar store, the priced are slightly higher than online, but not excessive, save a few choice pieces.The staff is knowledgeable about their products, and will be more than able to help someone to make a informed decision on a good kitchen knife purchase.4 out of 5 stars, one off just mostly due to my wish that they would branch out into other pocket knife brands a bit; Spyderco is a great brand, but they are a bit oversaturated with them.

Great shop very fair prices and really good place to get your knife sharpened. Very quick very friendly.

Amazing place!!! Me and my son came in to buy him his first Swiss Army knife and the customer service was amazing!

Very nice staff, went to the store physically and shipped a knife back home to Utah, arrived quickly in perfect condition.

Seattle Cutlery is so special. I have a passion for fine knives & couldn’t pass by their beckoning storefront without stepping inside. I’ve never seen so many quality, appealing pieces in one spot.I had to special order the exact piece I wanted & it was sent timely & even free! I have since ordered again thru mail as I’m quite far from Seattle. Such fast shipping, packaged so carefully. Peter is a pleasure to talk with, patient with any questions you may have, plus has a wealth of knowledge.I highly recommend them for your cutlery wants & needs. I hope to visit in person again one day!

Pleasant experience. Fantastic service and knowledge from their in house sharpening specialist.

OUTSTANDING! One of the BEST experiences Ive had as a customer in any store...ever. The owner Peter and his wife Eva welcomed my girlfriend, her daughter, and I into the store just as they were closing and were extremely gracious in allowing me to try several different Santoku knives until I found the perfect one for me. I bought numerous things there and am extremely happy not only with what I bought, but especially how I was treated.5-stars all the way in all categories! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Walked into the shop and was surprised by how many really cool items and knives they carry. I walked out with an Atelier series knife and am so inspired by its sharpness and beauty I had to take a picture of it in my studio. Pretty quality stuff here, I highly recommend.

Great shop! Knowledgeable staff! Ive been a customer here since 1991. Still have that little Victorinox Swiss Army knife as part of my EDC. They have a huge selection of folding knives, multi-tools and other gadgets to put your hands on and get a feel. Great options for the chef! German, French, Swiss and Japanese! Tons of other kitchen tools as well.

Schwing! I feel like doing that with my knives now ever since theyve been sharpened here. Theyre so sharp and the edges have such a cool sheen on them. The owner is very nice and friendly, and definitely knows how to care for knives. In looking forward to shopping here in person when were able to!

Great prices for some beautiful equipment

Only the best.

So-so. Nothing exciting in my opinion.

I bought an extremely overpriced $800 knife from them and when I found out how much they price gauged me, I asked for a return on my brand new un-opened knife.They then say no returns on items that were on sale. Even though the sales person never said anything about a sale on that knife. I was even there with my girlfriend who had no recollection of them even mentioning it. The sale wasnt even listed on the receipt, nothing. And then on the phone they called me a liar and insisted that their salesman mentioned the price.Overall - everything here is overpriced, and management will say anything, in order to prevent you from returning anything.

No pressure sales, very informative, know their products, and they made a customer for life.

I have been going to this store for years!A trip to the market would not be the same if I dont stop by here! The products they carry are top quality!If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and say hi to Bailey!! She is the best! Full of knowledge and will show you all the newest on the market!

The quality of the knife is really good! Worth it the price and my travel just to buy knife here! They even give me free shipping.

Im an avid home cook and have three high-end kitchen knives that I use all the time. Whenever I take them somewhere to be sharpened, Im never happy with the quality of the sharpening for one reason or another. Most recently I took them to Seattle Cutlery. The price is reasonable (about $17 for all three of my knives) and the quality of the sharpening job was fantastic! The edges look perfect and the knives cut as if going through butter. So glad I have a place to get professional-level sharpening done!

Exceptional EVERYTHING from Seattle Cutlery! They have the best selection of quality knives in this city by far. Everything each member of the Seattle Cutlery team did was above and beyond exceptional service. Peter, the owner, was extremely accommodative with my schedule and it being COVID-times, and once in the store, Humberto was helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with me during my knife-selection process. He let me see the options, recommended which knife would work best with my uses, and showed me specifically how to use, wash, dry, store, and sharpen it. I was so impressed with this unparalleled level of service that I will not be buying a knife from anywhere else ever again. Businesses that are run with this level of integrity and service deserve your business!

Great shop

Excellent service and craftsmanship. My knives have never been sharper. Ever. Highly recommend.I dropped off my knives; a 6 Wüsthof boning knife and a Messermeister 10 inch chef knife prior to the non-essential business closures and was beginning to worry that I might not see them for months. Peter was exceptionally helpful, friendly and accommodating to my schedule to meet me at the closed market to return my knives. He went above and beyond to deliver them personally and make sure that I was happy.Its a pleasure to cook again with razor sharp knives that hold an edge because of Seattle Cutlerys superb sharpening work. I will be back as soon as this stay it home order is over to have the rest of my knives sharpened. Thanks again!

Friendly, professional, nice selection, good place.

The employees were kindThey let me tried the knife on a cutting board with celeryThey delivered quality knifes while making them look nice, I was expecting cheap average knifes but the prices were on the higher end and in turn you get amazing knifes.I got a space needle multitool but next time I go to Seattle for vacation I wanna bring more money so I can buy their Japanese knife set which is amazing and has pretty engravings

Ive had five knives sharpened here, and I just dropped off two more. They did a better job than any sharpening service Ive used in the past. My worst knife, which I got for $10 in 2009, now just glides right through anything Im cooking. And they charge about half as much as most decent places in Seattle ($1/inch for regular kitchen knives, as of this writing).Their selection of knives is extensive and beautiful. Sometimes I just go in to admire them and chat with the staff, who are always friendly. Im planning on buying a new knife soon and Ill do it here.

They said they were open. I showed up and no one came to the door. Terrible

Really cool knife and kitchen shop. Very knowledgeable staff. Right next to Bavarian Meats / German shop.

I was recently in there and the service was outstanding. The people that work there and the kind of people you want to see in customer service. Friendly and all smiles when you walk through the door and a happy helpful may I help you with anything that genuinely sounds like they are there to help. The quality of products is fantastic, it was had to put stuff down. Unfortunately when we left not everything was in our bag, THREE days later we walked in and they recognized me just as I was going to say something and they remembered. Just moving to the area and loving all of my kitchen gadgets, its is going to be a place I frequent!

I bought my Japanese knives here a few years ago and love them. After moving further away from downtown, I tried a knife sharpener closer to home, only to be really disappointed in the results and worried they ruined my knives. I took them back to Seattle Cutlery, and now they’re good as new! Learned my lesson, and will only use SeaCut in the future!

Good quality knife.

I just wanted to say that the Sha Ra Ku Mono knife that I purchased here is amazing. Its well worth the price and has absolutely changed my life in the kitchen. In the past Ive never even taken a second glance at the more high end knives, but now Im convinced that its the only thing Im going to buy from here on out. Slices through meat and veggies like butter.

I had my older knifes that really needed a good sharpening job... My friend suggested I take them into Seattle Cutlery. I was a little early getting there, and was patiently waiting when the Manager Brian saw me and opened early for me. He was so friendly and educated me on the process and my options. He was so helpful I will never go anywhere else when it comes to sharpening my blades. They even got done early and Brian called me to let me know that. What an awesome Manager running this business.5 Stars all the way!!!!!!!

Ive been sharpening my Sukenari set here for years and have never had a problem. When you put a face to the service, its done by a super friendly guy who seems to do a better job every time I bring them in.

Best knife sharpening Ive had in Seattle, and really friendly service, too. Since I started coming here, I dont think I would trust anyone else in town with my knives.

Best place to go in my opinion so many things to buy and eat just being there gives most people such as my self a lot of joy . To me it’s a place to get away from everything it’s wonderful

Seattle Cutlery has top tier knife selections. I have purchased knives from there with great confidence as the staff is very knowledgeable. Andrew in particular has always provided me with insight in to the manufacturing process which is great for a knife nerd like me.As a personal chef in Seattle knives are not only a love of mine but how I make my living. Having very high quality knives is important to me for results and also for reducing wear and tear on my wrist. I take my knives to get touched up there whenever needed and they always go above and beyond the call of duty to help me out.I only go to Seattle Cutlery for all my knife needs.David.

Dont make assumptions about what a person can afford...You wouldnt have any way to know whether or not I can buy an $800 knife, you dont know who I am or what is in my account.Also, dont show me half-tang stainless damascus when Im looking at carbon damascus.

Seattle cutlery has excellent customer service. They sell some of the best knives available and stand behind their warranty. I bought a Sha Ra Kumono from them, had an issue and they replaced it, without any hassle! If you need high quality cutlery, this is the place! Thanks Seattle Cutlery, your customer service has produced a loyal customer.

Peter was really friendly and helpful, I needed to find replacement tweezers for my Victorinox and he helped me find the right ones (not all fit every model).

I came here to get a victorinox swiss army knife for my grandson, lots of options and they were very nice

Took my knives in and was told 24 hours to 48 hours for sharpening. I called them back after 4 days of not hearing back. They said they were ready. Went to the the store and they were sitting in a box, they were unwrapped still not ready for pickup. Had to come back the next day to get the rest of the knives that they forgot to give me initially. When I came back they tried telling me I didnt pay!I showed them on an CC statement where the payment cleared. Knives are sharp but they took a lot of the metal off of them.Dont go here.

Bought my best knife here.

Great service. Cool knives. Whats not to love?

After purchasing multiple kitchen knives over the years and regularly having my knives sharpened here with a generally positive experiences, last week I got my 8 Shun chef knife back from sharpening, and it had a gouge in the face. The damage was pretty clearly caused by the knife being touched against some kind of rotary power tool. I spoke to a manager, who denied that they had cause the damage (of course that individual was not present when the knife was being sharpened so he would have had no way to confirm this).There was no conciliatory gesture or effort whatsoever. The demeanor of the manager was dismissive and hostile.This was a $150 knife that I have babied for the last 10 years and used nearly every day. Its currently unusable because the gouge snags on food, sponges, and towels. I guess I will be finding another knifesmith to try to repair the damage (no idea if its even possible without destroying the Damascus cladding) but in the meantime you all should know how this business conducts themselves. I will update this post if I happen to reach some resolution with the business.EDIT: Per the comment below from the business, I emailed them, but have received no reply.

Seattle Cutlery is top notch! I brought in a Global Santoku and a Tojiro Shippu Santoku for some sharpening and somehow, Andrew, (not 100 percent sure if that was his name), managed to get them done impeccably within two hours because i was visiting from out of town. Great customer service, incredble finish, and an all around wonderful experince. Ill be back for sure!!!

Wow, my son purchased a knife yesterday not knowing I had already purchased the same knife on-line. When he got home, he looked at the receipt not knowing there was a no refund policy, but only an in-store exchange. My son was not informed of the return policy upon purchasing and when I called, the sales associate told me there was a sign posted near the register. I asked if they tell the customer and he said its the customers responsibility. I asked for the owners name and the sales person said he will be in later, but he most likely would not refund the knife. I am so disappointed by such terrible customer service and will never recommend this store and by reading other blogs, this store is not liked by a lot of people for the very same reason. Terrible terrible customer service!!!

Great place and really nice service. Thank you!

These guys lost my work knife. I had to show up to the store three times before they replaced it with some mall ninja crap. Do not bring your knife here to be sharpened. This shop is for tourists who are fleeced on a daily basis by these savages.

Service was odd, a little impersonal and they seem overpriced

Overpriced products. You can find online, especially Amazon for a lot less coin. They dont match prices or accept returns. We paid $150.00 for a knife thats selling for $80.00 online across multiple websites. Tough to support local when the prices are that much higher.

My experience is that I just read all these reviews and I plan on not stepping inside the front door of the place to experience anything they have to offer.

Friendly staff
