If you are in the market for a knife , throwing ax or darts then you should visit. The staff was helpful in our selection and went over the extra items that come with the knife my son in law bought. read more

Excellent little cutlery shop. Great selection and helpful staff. Got a Spyderco para 3 with Flytanium scales. The staff was able to install the 3rd party scales on the new knife at the time of purchase. Great service. read more

Super friendly staff with knowledgeable information. As well as an amazing display of knives from most of the companies you can want. read more

I meant order two of the same knife but mistakenly only entered quantity 1. When I reviewed the completed order I noticed my mistake and had to go back and order another with the shipping cost as well. I was about to email them to ask to combine the orders to save the extra shipping cost when they emailed me to ask if I really ordered two and if so, they would combine shipping and refund me....on a Friday evening! WOW! read more

Earlier this month, I dropped off my small EDC knife and asked the shop's staff to add serrations to it and to sharpen the knife's false edge. Sean performed custom work on this knife that, 1) increased the value and aesthetic of the knife; 2) exactly met my specifications; 3) was performed quickly and at a low price; 4) reflected a high level of attention to detail and pride of craftsmanship; 5) was immediately shipped back to me; and, most importantly, 6) significantly exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I was so pleased with his work that I sent him a second knife. Not surprisingly, the work, once again, reflected every point noted above, establishing consistency of excellence. Thank you Edgeworks Knife and Supply! read more

Puzzles, puzzle glue (for 2-1,000 piece puzzles, seriously?!), real dart boards, and knives of all kinds. From hunting knives and Swiss Army utility knives to Wusthofs, if you can think of a particular blade, they probably have it, or something similar to it. A little bit of fun, and a -whole- lotta business. The staff seems friendly, greeting me as I wandered around the store ogling the pretty shiny sharp implements. Oh, what damage I could do here if I had a budget for nice blades. I think I need a cold shower just thinking about those glittery santokus... read more

Edgeworks Knife & Supply - Image from Edgeworks website - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

As a first time knife buyer, I was very pleasant with my experience at this well known establishment in downtown Frederick on a busy Saturday afternoon. All staff members wore masks and greeted us as we walked through their doors. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the young gentleman who helped us or I would have put his name behind this stellar experience. He was a long haired fellow who answered all my questions with patience and was very personable. He also had some insider and insightful knowledge on some knives that helped me make my final decision. I was very happy with my purchase and with the customer service experience at this establishment. All in all, a great place to get all sorts of knives for whatever purpose your heart desires! read more

Good customer service, knowledgeable, quality products. Love shopping here when I'm in town.

I was a customer of Edgework for years. I built an entire collection of my spyderco knives with Sean. Highly knowledgeable owner. He also can get you a sprint runs if you ask him. read more

A group of fantastic guys doing the best knife sharpening I've seen in a long time. Also, they have great selection of darts and knives.

Edgeworks really let me down last week. I have shopped in Edgeworks with my husband many times and alone once or twice. I went in with a female friend to purchase a stocking stuffer for my husband. We were inside of the store for over 12 minutes and weren't even approached or addressed. Meanwhile TWO employees continued banter with one male. I hate to think that it was because we were females but there wasn't much other explanation. read more

This is a longtime coming review. I am very happy with that visit and will travel there again. The staff was knowledgeable and was very helpful and I was able to find what I wanted easily. read more

That crazy dude at magoos always come in here to sharpen his kitchen knives...poor bastard drops em every other day

I have never been treated as rudely by someone in a position to sell me something as I was in this store. The man who "helped" me was unkind, demeaning, and just plain rude when I wanted to look at some knives. There's a lot of cool stuff to be had in this store and I was ready to make a major purchase but none of this stuff do I want badly enough to give these people my money. I'm pretty hard to offend, but this was astounding. It almost soured my entire shopping experience in the Charming downtown area. Keep this place off your shopping list and you'll have a good time in Frederick. read more

Excellent service and selection. They had lots of brands and different items in stock. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I purchased my first Chris Reece knife here and I love it! Highly recommend this local place. read more

Very happy with my purchases (an Esse 6 and Mora companion), and despite being there during popular business hours, I felt very taken care of and given advice help me solely to help me find the best fit. My one complaint is how the staff addressed my confusion with addressing Maryland's knife law; leaving my girlfriend to believe I was belittled, and leaving me with an unclear picture on pertinent information. From further investigation, I found out no matter the style, a fixed blade knife could almost always be considered a Bowie knife in MD; including the 4" Mora I just purchased specifically for my car. Personally I think this is information is relevant and I feel a knife store should be more responsible passing on when asked, which is the sole reason why I knocked off a star. read more

Surprisingly large store that sells puzzels, knives, and darts. Confused by this combo of merch? Yeah me too! But the staff were super friendly and spent nearly 30 minutes talking to my father in law about various pocket knives (he loves them). Personally, not my thing, but they sounded super knowledgeable, and made my father in law pretty happy. Guess I know what I'm getting him for Xmas this year! read more

I don't usually go into knife stores but when I do I come here. This place has a variety of knives along with puzzles ( I am puzzled to how this fits). The staff seems to know their material as the other day the one attendant was ranting and raving about knife nerdiness that was over my head. I enjoyed walking around the place and just seeing the quality of knives. Their puzzles are also pretty cool. If you are walking by then I would recommend walking in even if you aren't planning to buy a knife. A good place to educate yourself on what a sharp and good knife looks like. read more

Very friendly knowledgeable stuff. Competitive prices. Huge selection. Great location. Support local business! read more

This is a really cool store to stop in. A huge selection of very nice knives and cutlery. The employees are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The prices are competitive. If your a knife lover this place is a must to see. read more

Good selection of knives, no doubt about it. I was conflicted about this review because there is nothing wrong with the product they sell, it's all top quality merchandise. The young man that helped us there was really very, very nice. The problem was the older staff member (owner?)who was there that day was constantly interrupting us to have him take care of other customers. We were interrupted no less than three times by instructions ring up other sales - while we waited for him to finish so that we could resume with our sale which was around $200 by the time we left. They also berated him in front of us about a minor mistake he had made with another customer! Sorry, but I just don't like that kind of thing. Yeah, so love the product but didn't like the way the staff were treated in front of customers. read more

As I have struggled to find a sharpener for my straight razor in Northern Virginia, I decided to try this place out despite the 50 minute drive. For only ten bucks they sharpened my straight razor better than when I purchased it. No drag, perfect edge, like cutting warm butter with a samurai sword. Best shave I have had in years! I will make the annual hour trek to Frederick just to have them sharpen my straight razor! read more

Great selection of knives - there are a lot to choose from, and they're all high quality brands - something that's not very common in shops nowadays. Staff is also friendly and very, very knowledgeable about their blades. I like seeing that! read more

I have been shopping at this local landmark for years. I have watched the improvements Sean the owner has made over time. I love to walk in and ask what's new that I would like? They always know what to show me. Whether you need a hand made chef's knife, a daily carrier or something to add to your collection, they have it all. A great business, a great businessman and a great member of the Frederic community. read more

We just got three kitchen knives sharpened for $12 (price depends on length of blade). Way cheaper than other places and great Customer Service! read more

I just want to say that this store is really cool. It's an eclectic mix of knives (LOTS of knives - of all kinds), puzzles, and kitchen products. You should definitely stop by! read more

Stopped in the Edgeworks tonight while waiting for a table for dinner. The clerk was RUDE off the charts. I had bought at this store during a similar situation on a prior occasion. Felt the prices were a tad high then but expected when buying locally. Tonight, I asked to see a particular Benchmade knife and the clerk starts railing on about going to prison - quite bizarre. Left my date and I wondering what his issues were. I guess this is why we have the internet. read more

One would think that with 5-6 employees standing behind the counters, and no other customers in the store beside my brother and myself, you'd at least get a "hello" or a "can I help you with anything," but sadly, that wasn't the case; typically a reflection of the ownership is poor customer servants. My solution, I will never come back, so thank you for helping me make that decision. read more

The staff is very helpful and their selection is amazing. As stated in an earlier review there are hunting knives, kitchen knives but also some pieces that must be for collectors only. They showed me one made by the Randall Company in Florida which if I was to order directly would involve a 5 year wait. Fun place just to come in and take a look and ask questions. read more

My wife and I made a special trip to this shop from Baltimore, and we couldn't have walked away happier. The owner and his sister were extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. They spent an exuberant amount of time, pulling out tons of knives, discussing all the different aspects of each, and answering any questions we had. We walked away with three knives and other shwag. Super service, hands down. I was also pleasantly surprised at the their prices. I will definitely visit again. read more

I ordered an almost-impossible to find knife from them over the phone on a Monday morning from Ohio, and it showed up at my doorstep at noon the next day. Outstanding!! Very nice folks to deal with and I highly recommend them. John McElfresh Columbus, Ohio read more

The staff here suck they think they are God's of knives and know everything and when you find a knife there they don't know about they try to talk about another knife read more

It's so nice to still find quality businesses like Edgeworks. I discovered the shop a few months ago. The prices are often lower than Amazon and they have a great selection of knives from inexpensive swiss army knives to high-end custom knives. I have been back many times and continue to look forward to shopping read more

Love it!! Always prompt, courteous and prices are great. We have since moved but still travel back to get our knives sharpened.

Have purchased four knives from Edgeworks and have no complaints about the service or price. Sean is very knowledgeable about what he sells. read more
