Love to cook and looking for a great selection of kitchen knives to add to your collection? Are your knives horrendously dull? Need some chef gear or supplies? If so, look no further than the Phoenix Knife House located in South Scottsdale on the southeast corner of Miller and Mc Dowell Roads.
We learned about the Phoenix Knife House in a class we attended with Chef Stebner at True Food Kitchen and we will forever be grateful for the information. This is definitely a professional chef friendly store. The caliber of knives and chef gear are abundant and as a home cook, I was a little intimidated to visit. However, I had no need to worry as the welcome and service I received was very friendly and welcoming.
I had an opportunity to visit the store in person when I brought in every knife in the house that was in desperate need of sharpening – which was pretty much all of them. The gentleman working there could not have been more friendly and was very helpful.
I was always under the impression that getting your knives professionally sharpened was very expensive. Not so… The prices they charge are extremely reasonable and the turnaround is vey quick – often within an hour or two. Knife sharpening charges are based on the method of sharpening used and type and brand of blade. They offer standard belt sharpening as well as waterstone sharpening by hand.
When I got my knives home after being sharpened, I was eager to test them out. What a difference! I was cutting through limes like they were butter and was looking around for anything else that I could slice up. Needless to say, I am a very satisfied customer.
The Phoenix Knife House sells an extensive array of kitchen knives, almost all of them Japanese. If you want to do your knife sharpening on your own, you can purchase all of the supplies you need and if you need a little instruction on how to do it properly, they are happy to offer it.
Chef gear is also for sale. If you need to restock any clothing like jackets or pants or clogs, there are plenty to choose from. They also sell a variety of kitchen utensils and implements.
I was really impressed with the Phoenix Knife House and plan to be back many times. In fact we have now pledged to get our knifes sharpened a lot more frequently.
