Super helpful salespeople and not pushy at all. Very knowledgeable. Bring your knives with you and they will sharpen them to better than new! I love this place!!!!! read more

This is my first time looking into quality knives, and I was a little shocked at how much some can go for. But the staff here were so friendly and walked me through their knife selection. They explained what to expect when getting a longevity knife versus a temporary knife. I ended up getting a Spyderco knife and would absolutely love to come back to get another one in the future. They also carry high-end chef's knives. You HAVE to check this place out. It's beautiful and very addictive. read more

Well Pilgram, ya'll know that I fancy sharp things. From my saber to my mustache scissors, I like things that cut clean. Except Miss Libby Bacon's tongue. (That woman's tongue is as sharp as the Devil's razor and twice as cruel) Rivers Edge has got everything you could want for stabbin, slashin, hackin and butchering the innocent. However these boys must be as rich as bankers cuz thats the kinda hours they keep. They open long after the average buckaroo is in the saddle and close long before they are out of it. Its like they cater only to the unemployed and leisure class. 9 pm is a proper closing time. Not 5:50 pm. read more

He showed my a knife right in my budget and had it sharpened and ready to go in 5 minutes, The knife worked great! They also will sharpen my new knife for life. They will also sharpen in type of blade you have for a very small fee. Check it out! read more

I sent a few knives here for different services. Blade reshaping and sharpening. The results are awesome. REC offers an amazing range of services for equally amazing prices.

Not just Cutlery and sharpening but anything for the blade enthusiast as well as flashlights, pens and other tools. Laser engraving and anodizing also a great service I have used. Thanks R.E.C. ! read more

River's Edge Cutlery - Spyderco Spydiechef custom anodized and laser engraving on the handle from REC - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Dang it, I hate this place, cause I can't go in with my wallet. Really I have to leave my wallet in the car or give it to my wife to hold. My wife was out of town and that stimulus check got deposited, so I finally decided it was time for a new knife. I'm a big fan of benchmade knives. I have bought 3 over the past 22 years, I lost one 4-5years ago, still hurt like it happened yesterday. Then I gave my son the 1st one I bought as a Xmas gift this year. All theys (guys an gals) needs more that one knife, I settled on a new mini bugout. I also got some beard oil, and a sharpening stone. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. But as I'm going to the register I hear one of the staff telling a customer that starting April 10th, automatic opening knives will be legal for everyone in Ohio. So like I said, I hate this place because, now I'm compelled by the state of Ohio to get my first automatic opening knife. read more

After a friend dropped one of my good knives and then stepped on it as he tried to pick it back up, I was left with a knife with no point. At first I was going to just pitch it, and then I remembered seeing River's Edge from Fishinger Road. I called them, and got a nice guy who sympathized with my situation. "Don't worry - we can re-grind it and put a new tip on for you." How much? "Oh, $3-3.50 depending on the size of the knife." I'd been expecting to hear $10-$20. I went over, and decided to take a couple other knives for sharpening since I would be there anyhow. The guys at Rivers' Edge took all four knives into their work area, let me know it might be few minutes, and as I browsed around, I could watch them testing, sharpening, repairing, and re-testing each knife. Despite the warning about a possible wait, they were done in fairly quick order, and the repaired knife looks and cuts great. My total bill for the repair and sharpening all four knives? $20, plus tax. Great bargain. They also had several deals for scissors, clippers, razors, kitchen knives, pocket knives, and actual swords, for those of you who are in the mood for SERIOUS cutlery. For those looking to care for knives you already have, they also sell sharpening and honing kits, whetstones, waterstones, knife vaults, butcher blocks, and some gorgeous hand made wooden cutting boards. I have to admit, after how cheap the repair and sharpening jobs were, I decided to make a couple of impulse purchases - a new magnetic knife block to hang in my kitchen (and hopefully prevent any other accidents!), and a new Forschner chef's knife that they had on sale. When I asked to handle a few different styles of knife to get the best balance, they were happy to let me try them on for size until I found the one I liked best. Even better? Once I purchased the knife, they let me know that any knife purchased there gets free sharpening as long as you own it - a service I look forward to taking advantage of! read more

I took my kitchen knifes here for sharpening and they do a great job at a reasonable price $14 for 3 knives. I tried to do it myself one time and it didn't turn out as good as i would haveliked, i suppose if i buy some really nice sharpening stones maybe i can do a better job but for $14 every 6 months to a year, your better off taking them here. I have some nice knives so i didn't want to take a chance doing them myself read more

I took some knives and they sharpened them sharper than the day I purchased them. Low cost and timely service couldn't ask for more

These guys are just friendly helpful experts. Their stock is fantastic and extensive. Their prices are great. Their staff is second to none. If you're looking for a daily carry, something for the kitchen or professional clipper and scissors this is the place to go. Want a hand made knife? They have those too. I've been going to Rivers Edge for years and I've never been disappointed with a visit. I really can't say enough about the staff. It's nice to find a business who hasn't forgotten what customer service means. read more

We took our knives to Rivers Edge for sharpening. Our knives came back so sharp, they're kinda scary! Incredible. We cook a lot, and we could not stop commenting about how easily they moved through the food. Price was very fair, and they were done on time. They have a wide selection of knives here. I have not bought one from them yet, but I most certainly will in the future. These folks are pros. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. read more

I was lucky enough to find this place after moving back to Columbus two years ago. I cook just about every day, and need to get my knives sharpened regularly. These guys are amazing. They have a fast turnaround time and treat my knives so well it's like they're new again. I can't recommend them enough. read more

River's Edge is a cute shop tucked away in Hilliard. We stopped by to get my husband shaving soap (he uses a straight razor), we were blown away at how much was in this store. They have everything from cooking knives to shaving knives. The staff was nice and pointed my husband towards what he needed an suggested a different type of shaving soap for when he ran out of the stuff he had just bought. We will return. read more

These guys are the best. The staff is helpful and informative. They give the same time and attention to a small purchase as they would to a major purchase. I've been shopping here for years and will definitely be back. Hell, my 73 year old Mom even likes these guys and speaks highly of them. Start by stopping in with your favorite kitchen knife, and they'll take care of you. You'll be happy with their sharpening, I promise. There is one guy who I swear could sharpen a baseball bat if you have him enough time. Good people. Good small business. read more

Very knowledgeable staff and very reasonable prices on sharpening my Wusthof knives. Not pushy on sales and the new location has shaving stuff for men! Awesome store and glad I found it. read more

Great service and really sharp knives when they are finished. They also have a huge selection of knives and cutting things if that interests you read more

I took in 4 kitchen knives for sharpening, including a chef's knife that had been abused and had a raggedy edge. Andy did a regrind on the chef's knife and sharpened them all to a fine edge. I also picked up a magnetic strip for $15.99, so I won't have to store them in the drawer and tear up Andy's work. The total bill for sharpening 4 blades and the magnetic strip was only $30! I would definitely recommend them for service and they have a great selection of knives as well. read more

Excellent customer service. A great place to sharpen your much used kitchen knives. Will definitely use their service more often!

We used to live in Knoxville and got our kitchen knives sharpened at Smoky Mountain Knife Works. If you've ever been to Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge it's the massive knife store a couple of miles off the exit on the way in. My wife said these guys did a better job - so in my book that's pretty darn hard to beat! read more

I run a very small part time mobile knife sharpening operation around Clintonville (Blades of Glory). I do a few commercial customers and some residential. I occasionally run into customers who have been to your shop. The state of the knives are fantastic, good angle on the edge, clean work, no beating up the bolster like I observe frequently. The customer just called to get the edge refined, I'm sure I'm not stealing business. I refer anyone who I can't handle as a customer to you. read more

Great shop, great guys, great prices. Bought a sushi knife here and I bring my full set of kitchen knives here every year for sharpening.

How often do we find a true expet who is passionate about their trade? River's Edge has just that. The owner, Mike, is not only a nice person, but charges a very reasonable price for top notch service. Having a business myself, I take my knives their monthly to be sharpened. Their turn around time can't be beat, plus they will take their sharpening equipment on the road to meet you at your home or business. With spring right around the corner, I highly recommend your steak knives to your mower blades are ready to use. As for the staff, don't let the piercings and tattoos fool you. They are extremely professional when it comes to their work and will make sure you are happy with the end result. read more

Also if you purchase new knives you get free sharpening. Customer service an quality made me return customer. read more

Went to Rivers Edge Cutlery for the first time today. It was very easy to find and in a nice area. They carry great knife brands like Kershaw, Zero Tolerance, Benchmade and Microtech. They also have shaving equipment and carry Shun and Wüsthof kitchen knives. Cheap sharpening, under $4 for most, and free lifetime sharpening for knives bought at the location. I was treated like a valued customer from the time I stepped in a door til I left. Although I live two hours away, I will be proud to spend my money at this fine store. read more

Fantastic place. Really knowledgeable staff with great product selection. I've purchase several knives here and respect that people know what they are talking about. I bought a ZT and they replaced a part on it for free. You might save a buck or two buying online but you will miss out on experience and a good selection that you can actually handle in person. read more

Helpful, informative, quick service, great prices. As good as it gets. Got knives sharpened and a ceramic blade chip fixed same day.

I actually go to this store primarily for the wet shaving items. There is a small section of good items, and it's nice to be able to see and touch these things before buying. While I would like the inventory to be more vast, it is probably the best selection in Columbus. Plus, they have always been friendly and willing to help if you have questions. read more

Very impressed! Top notch work at very reasonable prices. I took in my wustohf 8" chefs knife to be repaired after putting a dent in the blade (a little too aggressive splitting the bone on a strip loin) along with my 5" sanduku and 3" pairing to be sharpened as well. My chef knife looked as good as new, and all 3 were sharper then when I first got them. Out the door for $16!!! Great place here. They also amazing selection of knives for sale. read more
