What Sonoma County is saying
"I went there to buy a knife to replace one that had broken. Instead of just selling me a new one they told me that it had a lifetime warranty and how to get it replaced. That's the kind of integrity that earns lifetime customers."
Dave S. · Google Review
"Exceptional service. I brought in 12 knives to be sharpened and the experience exceeded all my expectations. Incredibly knowledgeable staff and the knives came back better than new."
Jose A. Ibarra · Local Guide
"I've been buying knives from these guys for almost 30 years and will continue to do so. Just scored a beautiful set of Yaxell Dragon series blades that are FIRE. Support these guys, and you won't be let down."
Cliff L. · Local Guide
"Loyal Benchmade fan for years. Sonoma Cutlery sharpened my knives quickly, professionally, and with none of the hassle of mailing them off. Real expertise, no waiting on hold."
Scott Sheldon · Local Guide
"Fantastic customer service. I took my grandfather's carbon steel chef knife in for sharpening, and they expertly re-profiled it so it was cutting like the day it was made."
O. S. · Google Review
"Every time we visit, the people are friendly and helpful. This is definitely a store where they do one thing and do it right."
