Our Story

A neighborhood cutlery shop, serving Sonoma County since 1979.

We're a family-run knife shop in Santa Rosa with one job: help home cooks and chefs find the right tools — and keep them sharp for life.

Inside Sonoma Cutlery in Santa Rosa

Local. Honest. Knowledgeable.

For more than four decades we've been the place Sonoma County turns to for a knife that actually fits the hand, and an edge that holds up to real cooking. Our store on Mendocino Avenue is full of options from Wüsthof, Zwilling, Messermeister, Benchmade and our own forged Sonoma Cutlery line — plus Japanese steel for the cooks who want something special.

We talk knives every day. So whether you're outfitting a brand new kitchen or just want one chef knife you'll love for years, we'll help you pick something that's actually right for the way you cook.

Quality craftsmanship — kept sharp.

Every knife we sell is one we'd cook with ourselves. And because even the best knife eventually needs a tune-up, we offer expert in-house sharpening — most kitchen knives for just $10, with VIP same-day service by phone.

Cooking is supposed to feel good. A sharp knife is where that starts.
