This is the only place I'll buy knives now and I always recommend it to cooks I know. The selection is world class for blades of all sorts (all styles of kitchen knives, scissors, hunting knives, pocket knives) and the staff know their products well. I took my boyfriend here as a Christmas gift and it was a challenge to walk away with just one.

I've had my knife sharpened at a lot of places -- and searched for sharpening that brought my knives back to their original performance when they were new. Epicurean Edge is the only place that I've ever found where the knives were MUCH sharper than they were when new . . . and the edge lasted a long time after having it done. They were not cheap, but by far the best I've found anywhere.

Pros: Extremely sharp knives, quick turn around (ready next day), very knowledgeable about knives
Cons: none that I could see
They have an excellent selection of brand name and artizan hand made knives. The sales staff has aways helped me find the right knife for my needs. They also offer expert sharpening service as well as the tools for sharpening.
