REC ~ River's Edge Cutlery

Made a trip from Northern Kentucky to their showroom today because I’ve heard great things about their website and the buying experience. (I’ve browsed it several times) James and Nash are both fantastic and very helpful. As a new knife enthusiast, I had many questions and was very indecisive, and they were very patient with me and shared a lot of very useful and valuable knowledge. I finally decided on this Reate Iron in titanium with micarta inlay from their consignment counter. Both gentleman inspected it with me to make the purchase of a pre owned knife much more comfortable as my inexperienced eye wasn’t sure what to look for. I will be doing business with them for the foreseeable future and will recommend my friends and family to them too. With REC only being a couple hours away, it makes for a good day trip and makes the prospect of buying from online retailers (REC excluded, obviously) irrelevant due to the relatively short distance. Thank you REC for a great shopping experience!

Yo. I ordered a knife from them. The same knife my girlfriend got me for Christmas that I lost. I asked em to deliver it to my Jeep to hide it from her so she wouldn’t know I lost it. They couldn’t ensure that. However, the packaged it as if it was from Jeeps Plus. It showed up. Mission accomplished. I ordered the wrong knife. I’m a walnut. Customer service is 10/10. It came sharpened, whereas the one my girlfriend got me came ready to be sharpened from Cabela’s. I’ll buy knives from these guys again.

I purchased the Hogue Counterstrike, and shipping was quick. When I received it, I noticed the edge was very uneven on one side. I emailed REC and Brian gave me the option to have it resharpened or exchanged for something else. After a bit of back and fourth on my end, trying to decide what to do, I decided to get it resharpened. I was a bit hesitant but I got the knife with an even, sharp edge. The way it should have been from Hogue in the first place. Overall, fantastic customer service. REC has earned my future business!

I bought my first CRKT years ago at the old location but then thought they closed up for good until recently. Just like the first time I shopped here... the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great selection of quality knives at all prices and some interesting pieces on consignment. Also great selection on other EDC gear including lights. They even fixed my old Gerber blade better than new! Forget the big box stores, shop here and keep your hard earned money in Columbus!
