As a starter that I am, I'm learning about what fits me best. Tyler was such a great educator on every question I could ask him. He was welcoming, patient, and made me comfortable with the whole process. This was a Father's Day gift I finally get to use this weekend & I can't wait to come back to build a collection! The quality & prices they have here make this spot my #1. read more

Fantastic selection of chef's knives and accessories. A well trained professional staff made it easy to learn more about their knives.

I got a couple of kitchen knives a few years ago when searching for a cheese knife. I also have purchased a number from restaurant suppliers. I felt that that neither of the knives were particularly sharp. I just attempted to slice a tomato but I first had to stick the knife in to allow me to slice. Have barely used either knife and never with anything demanding. Store staff were much better than anyplace I have gone to. My impression was a caring and knowledgeable enterprise. read more

Knife House is a great shop located in Arcadia. I took a vintage meat cleaver to them and they got it sharpened and spruced up for a very affordable price. They have hundreds of knives for purchase, as well as small kitchen tools, cookware and chef wear. The staff are friendly and helpful. read more

Top quality products with excellent service. No pressure sales based on actually teaching you about the knife, proper technique and care. Really great resource. read more

Tyler was incredibly knowledgeable and worked with my budget but didn't just try to make the high end sale. We actually ended up spending about half as much as I budgeted and got an incredible knife. I was given plenty of insight to each knife he pulled down and answered more questions than I would've asked. I cant wait to purchase another knife here. read more

Excellent service for my scissor sharpening. Very pleased with overall experience and would certainly utilize them for future knife sharpening needs. read more

Phoenix Knife House is now the only place I will buy knives from. I was a little overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices when I walked in, but was quickly made welcome by the amazing staff. Melissa spent time showing me a number of options, answering all my questions and helping me refine my selection. I left with exactly what I had been looking for (and a few extra items!) and for less than I had budgeted. I'm already planning my next purchase! read more

The gentleman that assisted us knows his products. Very helpful and personable. Quality products at a reasonable price.

I don't know where to begin to tell you how much of a pleasure it was dealing with Melissa and Tyler to purchase an expensive knife for my husband as a gift. Melissa went above and beyond to make everything happen including the engraving by the date promised. The company is a well oiled machine with fabulous customer service I look forward to many more future purchases. Dawn Packer Scottsdale read more

Phoenix Knife House - Item bought - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Not even a question the go-to place for kitchen knives. Dedicated stores are few and far between in the States, so Phoenix is super lucky to have one. Obviously a great resource for anyone in the food industry, but also one I'd recommend to any home chefs as well. Mostly speaking to my pre-rona experience, Phoenix Knife House has an insane selection of Japanese knives - they might have European or American brands but don't quote me on that. Something you lose out on at a department store or shopping online is the ability to hold and compare knives, because a kitchen knife is really a Cinderella glass-slipper type feel: everyone has a different preference when it comes to handle styles, weight of the blade, etc. They're super helpful - can pretty much tell them what size knife and knife style you're looking for, and they'll bring them all down for you to compare. Lots of variations of carbon steels and stainless steel options. Also they're not judgmental when it comes to pricing - some knives can get really high up in the triple digits, but you can find great pieces even at the lower 1 range or possible double digits. It's not exaggerated to say one great knife can serve you way longer and with more ease than an entire knife block set, so hope you can find yours here! I'm a huge fan of getting their sayas/wooden sheaths sized to each knife I have, which will protect it in drawers - but you can also get one for a knife you already own if you bring it in! Other services include knife sharpening - can drop off and come back to pick up at a later time. Store has a decent selection of other kitchen tools and apparel, as well as hunting knives. If you get super into the practice, they also sell whetstones for you to sharpen at home. As a guy who loves to cook, places like Phoenix Knife House are like kid-in-a-candy-store level hype for me. But whether your mom needs to sharpen or replace one of her knives, or you need a decent housewarming gift, this is a great place to check out. read more

I stopped in around lunch time a few days ago to get a gift for my nephew. I've been in a handful of times. This place is my Disney. Sadly I didn't get the name of the guy who helped but he was so nice. So attentive and so helpful. This place is truly a Phoenix gem. They have sooooo many knives! They have lots of really cool stuff throughout the store. It's the knives that bring me in and their people who bring me back. I walked out with s great knife for my nephew and I may have bought myself one too. How could I not?! Thank you Phoenix knife house. read more

This store is a chef's dream. They have a wide variety of knives in different price ranges, as well as clothing and knife rolls. My knives were getting dull past the point where honing them would do any good, and I had never tried to sharpen them myself. Since prices were so reasonable ($10 per knife) I decided to head on over to let the professionals work their magic on my 6 inch santonku and 8 inch chef's knife. The gentleman in charge of sharpening was great at providing information on how to maintain my knives in better condition and I got to see some of their best stock of chef's knives. If I ever want to upgrade I know where to go! He was very cool and it was great picking his brain for great tips on how to sharpen my knives on my own and to learn about the differences between the knives they had in stock. Their turnaround time is typically 24 hours. When I came to pick up my knives they were securely packaged in a paper bag and I was on my way to dice and brunoise to my heart's content. Thanks to Phoenix Knife House my knives have never looked better! read more

Phoenix Knife House - 10 inch Akifusa and 8 inch Damascus Asai chef's knives - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

These folks seriously know their knives. Really friendly service, outstanding knowledge and discussion re: cutlery. I purchased a cool, reasonably priced all purpose kitchen knife for someone as a gift. Wound up purchasing a very similar knife for myself. Exceptionally sharp knife. Perfect. Also, really friendly owners of this business. Great doggie hanging out interacting with customers as well. Just sayin; these guys are the Bomb as to knives. Ciao ! read more

Knife sharpening service is top notch. The service is friendly, quick and knowledgeable- the employees taught me some knife sharpening tricks to try at home. My knives are like new, sharper than ever. The shop has lots of great cooking, grilling, foodie type gifts and accessories. Great addition to the neighborhood and the service you didn't know you couldn't live without. read more

If you cook the majority of the meals you eat then you know just how often a knife is needed in the kitchen. Just as having a good pan is important so is having a good and sharp knife. I brought in a set for sharpening that I had been using for close to a decade. While I was in the shop I was amazed by the selection of high-end knives and decided to ask about what was on the shelves. The pros at PKH explained the diversity of materials and the uses and maintenance of them. I ended up getting bunka knife and all I can say is wow. When I got my old knives back they were sharper than ever but I absolutely love my new one. Whether you need your old knives sharpened or are in the market for a new one Phoenix Knife House is where you need to go! read more

It's crazy that you wouldn't consider hard working people like these guys @ Phoenix Knife House to be your " Knifes in shinning armor " ! The service they provide is above all the most professionals around in the valley. They focus on the customers needs and the high quality standards they provide. Great quality of service, great selection of knives and essentials needed. This place is a must for the chef within all of us ! Thanks guys you're amazingly " Sharp" service is outstanding!

A hidden gem is what I would classify this place as. A huge selection of Japanese knives with a wide variety of price ranges, chef coats , bags and much more. read more

If you are in need of a good quality knife or need to have your knives expertly sharpened, this is the place to go. I drive all the way from Fountain Hills to drop my knives off here and drive back again to pick them up when they are ready. They are the only people I let sharpen my knives. As I noted before, they are also a great place to go if you want to purchase a high quality knife. Recently I was looking for a good 8" Japanese Damascus Steel chef's knife. They had some beautiful knives like this. I wouldn't say that their prices are cheap but they are reasonable. And the staff is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. read more

Very helpful. Great job sharping my knives. If you are in the market for a new knife the is the place.

This review is years overdue. I forget Yelp is for businesses beyond restaurants at times. I'm obsessed with the Phoenix Knife House. I need to go there every once in a while just to hang out (and I always have to buy something). I've bought many a present here and I'm always itching to buy another knife for the house. Phoenix Knife House carries Japanese chef's knifes - which are only sharpened on one side. They're ridiculously sharp and so cool. We have a killer set of Wusthof's that we got for a wedding present that we don't really use anymore. And we just have a few knives from PKH. While we don't need anymore really, I have to get another soon. I'm going for the Sugimoto 8" chef's knife. While they have some amazing, high end works of art (Damascus steel & such), they also carry a good selection of great knives that are super affordable. Eytan, the owner, carries knives in typical Western shape and traditional Japanese form. He also has a bunch of killer kitchen tools. Absolutely love the kitchen shears he told us to get long ago and was excited to pick up a nice fish spatula recently. This happens to be the place where many of the valley's local chefs do their knife shopping. Eytan has also expanded to carry some additional chef supplies so head over there if you need a chef's coat or clogs as well. In addition to being an authority on knives, he's a master sharpener. He sharpens all kinds of knives, is super reasonable and has a quick turnaround. In addition to the awesome product he has, Eytan is a major foodie. He is a former chef (SCI grad I think?) who worked at amazing places like Kai, Circa 1900, opened Fiamma here and did time in New York at spots like Aureole, La Côte Basque, and Craft. He is also a great guy and a wealth of information on the local food scene. I'm always following up on his recommendations. Even if you have nice knives, you should check it out. Might get converted like I did! read more

I brought two knives here to be sharpened/refurbished. One was my 25 year old JA Henkel chef knife. I had pretty much ruined it by trying to whack a t-bone in half. It was badly damaged and un usable. They were able to grind it down some and now it looks brand new again. The second was an old butcher's cleaver. It had an edge on it already but the pros at Phoenix Knife House were able to thin out the edge just a little and put a super sharpness on it. This monster is going to cut just like a kitchen knife. Sharpening was $7 per blade and the service was friendly and professional. read more

If you want seriously good Japanese knives- this place is your spot!! My dad brought me here to get my Christmas present- to start my knife block. We got three amazing knives and I am so stoked to build my collection. Not sure of the guy's name- really nice and really knew his stuff and was truly passionate about the knives! read more

I brought my EDC pocket knife in to them because I rolled the edge on the blade. The knife needed a new edge put on it to fix the portion that had came off. I dropped it off and 48 hours later picked it up. They did an amazing job at fixing the problem and putting a hair popping sharp edge back on the blade. This was my first experience with them and I am very pleased. read more

Culinary knives only. I'm sure it's a great place for snobby chefs. I tried calling three times to ask if they would sharpen a hunting knife. So I gave up and went in. The lady was not helpful and quick to judge. She wouldn't recommend me anywhere else "because of competition reasons". Well I found their competitor and they were happy to help me. When it comes to sharpening, a knife is a knife? read more

Super pleased with how well our knives came back to us. A couple of them had divets, and were in really rough shape. They had a 24 hour turn around time, the knives are perfectly repaired and back to original sharpness. Not only was the workmanship impeccable, the prices were incredibly affordable!! read more

You want it, they got it: Yanahibas, Gyutos, Santokus, Nakiris, Petty, Bunka, Deba, Honesukis, etc. The shop has a rad presentation, very minimalistic; they focus on the blades. The selection is expansive. They have hand hammered knives, and they have stamped knives. They have carbon clad knives, and they have mono stainless knives. They have Wa handle knives and they have Western handle knives. They have hitachi steel knives and they have other manufacturers steel. Cory is very knowledgeable and doesn't up-sell people on anything. He tells is how it is and let's you make the decision. He's also a master sharpener - I advise taking his knife sharpening class if you want to maintain your own blades. They also sell other kitchen goodies: tools, blocks, whet stones, aprons, etc. Even if don't know anything about kitchen tools it's a fun place to visit. read more

First Time to PKH, Completely happy with their work and prices. Really cool people, that know what their doing and very helpful.

I struggled with this review. Phoenix Knife House has pretty much only 5 star reviews, did I really want to be the one who bucked that trend? But in all honesty I didn't have an amazing experience, so here it is - The location is conveniently central and there is plenty of off-street parking. The store is clean and bright. I had two Japanese knives that needed sharpening. I was told it would take an hour and they took my cell phone number and promised to call when ready. So I went across the street to Safeway to do some shopping, then on to CVS to pick up some things. An hour had passed without a call, but I figured, no big deal, so I went to JT's, a dive bar on the same strip mall as PKH. Two beers later and the time is creeping up close to 2 hours, still no phone call. So, I decide to go back to PKH in the off chance that my knives were ready and they'd just forgotten to call me. When I went back the store's empty and the owner(?) and another employee are crouched over a computer looking at a restaurant's website discussing what's for lunch. No, your knives are not ready yet, I'm told. In fact they haven't even started yet. The good news is I'm next in line. Ok, great, I'll just sit on one of the couches and wait. Here comes the line from the owner that really rubbed me the wrong way - "You can wait, but just understand that if a customer comes in, they will take precedence over you and you will have to wait longer." A customer??? What exactly am I then? I understand that my $14 knife sharpening is not as much money as you will make from selling one Akifusa Gyuto for $810, but I'd still like to think I'm a customer! I would have been happy to come back the next day and pick up the knives if that had been communicated to me at the beginning, but to waste 2.5 hours of my time and then to insult me to boot, just isn't right, no matter how good the sharpening was. read more
