My knives are like new! Keith does excellent work, and in quick time as well, which was important as my knives had not been sharpened in years. I highly recommend him, and will certainly call on him again.

Keith was great to work with! Not only was he quick and professional, the work he did with our broken knife was fantastic! We will be using him in the future and I would highly recommend him!

Got a whole bunch of knives sharpened, he was able to get out some decent chips and get the blades back to factory sharpness!

My boyfriend(who is a chef) and I love these knives. They are well made and pretty to look at. We have 3 at the moment but will continue purchasing them for each other and gifts for our friends and family. They are sturdy, well built, and hand crafted. I highly recommend them for anyone at any knife skill level. You can cook at home with them or take them into the kitchen you work in and use them everyday, all the time. Plus Keith is awesome. If you want a hand made knife that is locally made, he is your guy! I can't wait to order out next one!

I am so happy to have found Kieth. He was able to take my knives right away and return them the same day. And I am so happy with how they came out- it’s like I have a brand new set of knives. Getting them sharpened has been on my to-do list for over a year, and my only regret is not getting them to Kieth sooner!

A little over a month ago I came to Keith to sharpen two kitchen knives I was planning to use for a couple of jobs I booked in Colorado. I poorly planned and requested a quick turnaround (I was leaving in one week). Keith offered same day services which was perfect for my situation.

Not only did Keith do a fantastic job sharpening my knives, his prices were very fair. I worked a catering event and a food truck at a festival that following weekend in Colorado and got all sorts of compliments from professional chefs on how great and sharp my knives were.

Even a month later my knives are still in great shape ( I do frequently hone them). I plan to come see Keith again before the end of the year because a sharp knife is a safe knife!

I regularly use the high quality custom nakiri Keith made for me. It's a work of art, yet it is made for regular use. Undoubtedly the best knife in my kitchen!

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...
