The crew at Way of Knife/EDC Gearhouse is amazing. They have done some beautiful projects for me including the current gem of my collection the Seigha Wave Boker F3 (pictured).They carry the mot high quality products, use the best techniques, and demonstrate genuine artistry with their approach to customization. 10/10 quality and customer care!Highly recommend following them on the socials to see their amazing work, they are a great follow!
Great selection. Knowledgeable staff. Everything from high end customs to budget beaters. Great sharpening services as well, has sharpened almost all my knives sharp enough to shave with. If you want something you dont see in the store talk to Marcus and he can probably get it.
Smaller shop, great atmosphere. Let me handle various knives although I was only window-shopping. Conversational staff that really puts the heart into the brick and mortar experience. Sharpened my EDC for me and it is like a razor now. Hope to do future business with them.
I was looking for a particular knife for a gift and Way of Knife was out-of-stock on their website. I called and learned that Marcus could order it for me and have it drop-shipped directly to me. It arrived the next day, even before I got the invoice.Great service, even long distance.
I Had The Best Customer Service Experience & Smoothest Transaction Yet!!! I Highly Recommend Doing Business With These Guys 👍, Marcus Was Absolutely A Pleasure To Deal With, Fast Shipping, Knife Came As Described & In Perfect Working Order! 《Its The Only...Way Of Knife》👊👊
I took my 8 chef knife and my 4 asian pairing knife in to way of the knife exactly one week ago. After using my knives at work for a weeks worth of shifts I can say I am happy with the level of attention they were given. Seeing the knife report was helpful for me because I could see the chips and knicks in the blade of my chef knife, and then the smooth finish after the stropping was done. Maybe itll be good for you to see too? Anyway, the last 2 to the heel on my chef knife are perfectly straight and then the blade curves to the tip. I am happy to say that before and after the same two inches are just as flat. This tells me that whatever he uses to grind the blade he keeps the current geometry and the new edge is very minimal, indicating he doesnt take a lot of material off. Overall Im really happy with my knives and the shop in general.

2022-08-04Lost my work knife and had to replace it, was pleasantly surprised to come across this store online, I always spend my money in Michigan when possible and will definitely buy from again. Fast shipping and got some cool stickers as well. The way of knife exclusive SBR looks even better in person. 5 stars!

2022-07-21Super nice and patient guys. We’re happy to show me all the knives I wanted to see. Decided on the storm trooper white Microtech Exocet! Then they FaceTimed with my buddy to answer all his questions about mods! Can’t wait to go back!

2022-06-26Pretty good overall. Early on there was some mistakes between Marcus and Ben, and their communication with each other. Id pay 1 person, and the other 1 doing the work, wouldnt know. Had to send a few knives back to get what I paid for done..now that its just WoK, its much better. Their prices are great, compared to alot of the other mod places/people.

2022-06-22The best knife modification service in the game right now, especially when it comes to anodization. I’m yet to see such high quality modding at these price points. I highly recommend their advanced creative freedom (ACF) package; they will turn any knife into a work of art.

2022-06-24I got a couple of their rat 2 m390 reblades. As far as I know they are good blades. Havent used so not sharpened. Id assume the heat treatment is good. Havent heard anything bad about them

2022-06-22Have not been able to order the product i wanted (M390 reblade for RAT-2), but i think it is a great service to offer these kind of upgrades allowing customers to affordably upgrade folding knives with well-treated steels.

2021-04-17I like knives. They sell knives. It works out well. Seriously though, this is now my go to place when I feel the need to grow my collection. Great personalized customer service and the modification offerings are amazing. Treat yourself to a creative freedom package on a titanium frame lock knife, you won’t be disappointed!

2022-06-22If you are the type of person that uses the backs of ceramic plates to sharpen your knives, this is your haven. They even have special treatments for the blades, and much like cowboy boots, hats, certain artisan-quality gloves, and really any /good/ products; the prices will reflect this.Good aint cheap and cheap aint good.All the knives come sharp enough to pass a laguiole test and I love the selection. The only issue Ive come across is my own impatience lol. Sometimes shipping gets delayed but thats not the fault of the company, thats just life haha.
