First off, why be out of pocket $392 for a set of knives that you don't even know if you'll like?  And then there's the cost savings which amount to 32% over a 3 year period.  By cutting out the retail middle man taking a cut on newly produced knives, we are able to pass these savings along to you, the customer.

In addition to the pure dollars and cents, there's a host of other reasons to choose Knifey:

  • Ongoing sharpening will gradually wear down your knives (and improper sharpening can ruin them!), leaving you needing a new knives over time.  With Knifey, you're not stuck with a single set of aging knives.  We are constantly refurbishing and replacing our knives to make sure customers always have cutlery in peak condition.
  • With our service, you'll never have to worry about the hassle of packaging your knives, or the reality of being without your knives while waiting for sharpening.  
  • Let's face it, sharpening knives is one of those procrastination items that just doesn't get done.  By automatically mailing you knives on a schedule of your choosing, you can remove "sharpening knives" off your already-too-big checklist.
  • We take the risk out of a big knife purchase:  if you don't like the knives or the service, you can cancel at any time.

Between the real dollar savings and other tangible benefits, Knifey is a great way to up your kitchen game while saving money and making your life a little easier.  Try Knifey today.   We think that having sharp knives just may change your life.
