I trusted Keith with some of my custom kitchen knives and he did an outstanding job. He took great care and is a true professional. I would highly recommend him.

I ordered a beautiful chef's knife from Keith. He showed me his process, allowed me to pick out the wood for the handle and delivered a lasting heirloom for my husband's birthday. If you are interested in a purchase, take the time to set up an appointment, and see what is possible. Also, I was aware that Keith needs the lead time to hand craft such a gorgeous, perfect knife. The investment up front by contacting him months ahead was worth it.

I also have a friend who is a professional chef and he gave the knife high marks, plus many "ooohs" and "aahhs.".

I am so very pleased to have this beautiful knife in our home, representing a local artist like Keith.

Excellent sharpening and fantastic service. Keith did 5 kitchen knives and even repaired my oldest knife which is getting near the end of the blade. We relocated last year to the area and had been searching for a good knife sharpener. We found him! Prep will be so much easier now. Thank you so much!!

My puppy chewed up the handle of my knife and the sheath. Curtis Cooper made a new sheath much better than the one I had and to custom specs (left-handed scout). Keith did a great job at refinishing the handle and sharpening my blade. 6/5 stars!

Keith is a magician with knives. Full stop. He resurrected 8 kitchen knives, my poultry shears and some scissors. All are perfectly sharpened. They were done in less than 48 hours. Reasonable price. I’m now running around looking for things to chop and more things to get sharpened. Highly recommend.

Keith Nix Knives Frequently Asked Questions

I am currently delivering knives in 24-28 weeks. No, I can't fairly put your blade in front of another. No, a cash bonus won't buy more hours in a day, or a spot closer to the front of the line. Yes, I absolutely understand {insert holiday} is right around the corner, it's why I'm so busy!
In my wildest dreams I never expected this level of interest in my work. I'm grateful to everyone who has made Keith Nix Knives a success! I would love to make you a knife or knives, but I ask for your pati
I have seen websites of other makers in this area who charge as much as 50% of the price of their product as a NON-refundable deposit just to put you on the books for a custom blade. I refuse to do that. I can't imagine taking your money and then you lose your job, or someone gets sick, or your car breaks down, and you can't complete a transaction you and I initiated 3-5 months ago. So I'm supposed to kick you while you're down and keep your deposit?
no. No. NO! NO. I don't take deposits!
Yes. Personalization is as easy as choosing the phrase, name, or date you wish to have engraved on your custom knife. There is a small upcharge for the service. Laser etching is only available through me on knives that I have made, but I can refer you to my provider...
