What first took my breath when I opened the gift of a Keith Nix Knives petite chef’s knife was the handle. Keith crafted it from a dead limb removed from a dogwood tree on my land. The subtleties of hue and depth of grain are extraordinary!Report
The handle fits as if it were made for my hand. The weight, balance and edge of this knife make every type of cooking prep effortless. It’s as if the knife is an extension of my arm.
Keith also gave new life to several heavily used and abused knives in three vacation rentals I own. Sharper now than they were new. The same applies to two heavily rusted and terribly dull garden loppers I took to Keith Nix Knives.
Keith’s craftsmanship, skill, integrity, humility and humor are a rare combination. 1,000 thanks to you, Keith, and to Keith Nix Knives!

Keith is amazing. Sharpened our entire kitchen set in a day. We've used two of the knives already and they've never been sharper...even when we bought them. Class A guy. Highly recommend.Report

I've already put some good use in from working in a professional kitchen with my cleaver and 10" chef knife; also, love the quality, balance, and sharpness. Keith let me pick the wood in for the handles, talked me through blade sizes, and also the edge type that was right for me. All of my coworkers are just as in love with the product as I am, as well I've already been asked by family and friends where to get the high quality craftsmanship that I recieved. The handles are beyond beautiful, the blades are beyond sharp and strong, and I love how great Keith is with making sure the product meets the person and need for the knife. All around, better than anything I've ever bought from major knife brands!Report

I bought one of Keith’s custom knives for my husband for his 45th birthday. I went to Keith’s workshop where he helped me pick the style of knife and the type of wood he would use to make it. I felt special because I was able to be apart of the process. Keith said it normally takes him 3 months to complete a knife and I had it in my hands 2 1/2 months after we met. To say this knife is gorgeous is a understatement! It’s one of a kind for sure. You can call me a repeat customer now. I will definitely be purchasing more custom knives in the future.Report

Keith sharpened several of my kitchen knives. He was very fairly priced, provided quick turn around, did a superb job and is a really nice guy. I recommend Keith Nix!Report

I brought in a 12 year old chef knife that was in rough shape (it hadn't been sharpened in those 12 years, and had small chips all along the blade) and a boning knife that was really dull. Turn around was fast, Keith was very kind and professional, and when I got home I was able to slice through broccoli stems like butter and remove chicken tendons like paper. Pretty sure the chef knife is sharper than when I first bought it. Now cutting vegetables is seriously weird, I'm not used to this level of effortless slicing and dicing. Do yourself a favor and take your knives to Keith.Report
