Northwestern Cutlery offers sharpening services and provides Chefs (Pro & Home) a place to purchase

Northwestern Cutlery has been sharpening knives for over 50 years. Originally a knife rental and sharpening service for packing houses, restaurants and deli’s, Northwestern Cutlery has evolved into a full service store for professional and amateur cooks alike. Often Called “A Candy Store for Cooks” by our customers, you can stop in and have your knives sharpened while you wait. While waiting, pickup that hard to find gadget, or add to your cutlery and cookware collection.
