Cutting Edge Knives Reviews 

Horrible returns or repairs policy. Literally this had one cut and broke on a fraction of pressure. Cheap poor manufacturing. When I asked if they could help they told me to get it fixed on my own accord.

If this is supposed to be a quality retailer you’d expect them to swallow their pride and take the hit for a customers expectations/ experience. Do yourself a favour and don’t buy from this business who don’t value customer satisfaction. Cheap Japanese blade with brittle metal.

I wasn’t even asking for a full refund. I’d have even taken a replacemen. Yet they didn’t want anything to do with me.

On another note the actual blade and handle feels cheap AF. I’d have happily bought more from them as they looked really good at first. Turns out they are small minded business people with no care for customers needs. Clearly you make bad blades and can’t handle returns. Suck it up and take the hit if you’ve made a bad product.

I ask you, if I moved into a home and the bricks started falling apart after I shut the door, whose fault is it. The building company. Sort your life out cutting edge.

I have now purchased four knives from Cutting Edge - unfortunately one had to be returned - not because there was anything wrong with it - I just didn't love it.

No questions asked - immediately refunded.

The products are outstanding. The website descriptions are accurate and clear. The money back guarantee is solid.

Communications with the team there are a pleasure, nothing is too much trouble. They even applied a 15% discount code retrospectively to an order I made the day before the offer went live. How bloody good is that?!

If you want the best knives from the best supplier then look no further than Cutting Edge Knives.

I have no affiliation with the company, I'm just an extremely happy repeat customer looking to share my experiences.

First class knives, first class service and fast delivery.
Have used this company before and would use them again.

Awesome company, ordered a higonokami from them so not a huge purchase, however the customer service was incredible. Super quick delivery and lots of emails with updates. Will purchase off these again. Bonus points for adding plasters to the order, made me laugh!

After scouring the internet for weeks across a lot of knife websites, I came across this website! An abundance of knives to choose from and all great quality as well as value for money. The delivery was really quick and well packaged. I loved the addition of plasters in the box, great humour. I bought the Takamura Hamono SG2 Santoku knive along with a double sided leather strop and the knife guard.

The knife itself is a gorgeous, a real distinct hamone and the exterior cladding itself is super resistant to rusting and discolouring. The knife came laser sharp out of the box and keeps its edge extremely well.

The leather strop is of good quality leather and I use it after almost every use of the knife before I put it away.
The knife guard was really cheap and is a must have for your knife unless you're hanging it up or have another solution. The exterior is hard and well wearing, the interior is soft and will definitely not scratch your blade.

All in all I can't recommend this company enough

Ordered a nice little paring knife, I got plenty of updates regarding the order details and shipping, and it was delivered really quickly!
The knife is great and nice and sharp straight out of the box, very happy.
This is the second order I've placed, and I'm sure I'll be back again.

Very fast delivery, Great communication and really happy with my purchase. Well packed and a lovely knife at a good price.

Customer service may well be the best I have ever come across. So helpful and kind.
They hand pick only the best Japanese knives, so no matter which ones you but they will only come from reputable Japanese blacksmiths.
And they are amazing in general, if I ever want a Japanese knife I would only ever go to cutting edge knives.

Just bought a new Japanese chef’s knife. Very smooth transaction and very fast delivery. It even came with a couple of plasters which made me chortle.

Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Ordered a Gyuto knife for a family member - the ordering process was super simple. It came packaged well and arrived in 4 days. Product was just as described / shown on the website.

I’ve been looking for a nice knife for a long time and finally came across cutting edge, there service is top notch and the knife is amazing to use, would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again .

Wow, incredible service - fast, efficient and friendly. Packaged well and absolutely outstanding quality. Can't wait to give this as a gift. They're going to love it.

Knives made me realise how different it can be.

I messed up one knife doing something stupid and they sorted me out (shout out to James and Carly)

Will buy again!

What an amazing service I’ve ordered whetstones from this company previously and had such an amazing experience ordered through them again with 2 knife sayas and a 150mm petty knife, OMG so sharp and the customer service is just outstanding 10/10 best company out there by far

After an awful experience with an online knife specialist (see my review!) I found Cutting Edge Knives on Instagram.

They were quick to respond to my message about the most appropriate ones to buy, it was super simple to order and they arrived really quickly.

And the knives are incredible. Lesson learned and I always check TrustPilot now before ordering.

A friend used the website and recommended it to me. I'm very happy with my experience - the knife got delivered next day already, super fast and very well packed. Beautiful knife, easy and fast delivery!

I ordered a Konosuke GS+ Petty 150mm with a matching saya on January 3rd - the knife arrived by DPD courier on January 5th, super quick! The knife was packaged very securely to prevent damage and they even included some plasters in the package which was a great touch :-D

The website is really easy to navigate, with a fantastic selection of Japanese chef knives and accessories. I think it's so important to support small UK-based businesses, so I'm extremely happy that CEK provides such a great selection and service! I'll certainly be ordering from them again and recommending them to family and friends.

Thanks for the wonderful knife!

I've bought a couple of knives from here now. The first was a smooth and simple process. The second was fraught with difficulties, all handled beautifully by Ally and James to the point that I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Firstly I had a query that was answered quickly and helpfully over email (obviously not a difficulty but just another example of expedient customer service). Next I couldn't get the website to do what I needed during ordering - again, quickly and simply resolved via email. Actually they over-delivered here too. Then the knife I'd chosen didn't come into stock when expected. I was immediately offered alternatives and a timeline if I stuck to my original order - I decided to wait. Finally, this timeline ended up being dramatically longer than expected. I was kept updated at regular intervals and given the warm fuzzy feeling that all was in hand. Indeed it was and my fabulous knife arrived today. Packaging was perfectly satisfactory - no complaints here at all. Thanks Ally and James.

Lovely knifes, works of art and a dream to work with

Fast delivery and all my questions answered before purchase. Great business!
