Fabulous shop which I shall revisit often. Splendid selection of top quality items packed into a tidy shop with great vibes. Cool proprietor, extreme knowledge, studied abroad. Sharpening service was extremely excellent, reasonable cost, I am super happy I found Element. Bought that nikiri I'd been wanting - really outstanding quality.

Cannot recommend this place enough! Owner was incredibly generous with his time - didn’t try to oversell us (we are new to buying nice knives) and educated us at every step along the process! 10/10. Even his follow-up campaign after we bought the knife was fantastic. Sent us a heartfelt thank you. THANK YOU!

Element is THE place to buy quality knives. My wife and i have been on the fence about buying a new knife set for years but never had the incentive. We stopped by Element while on vacation during some downtime and Chef Elan took time out of his day to educate on not just the different kinds of knives how to properly use, care for, and store them. They have knives for every budget and Elan can pit together a set no matter your needs. I couldn't be happier with the experience and the quality of knives we purchased.

Bought two knives, one chefs knife and a paring. Extremely sharp and can cut through about anything. Owner was very helpful at finding one at the right price point and giving care instructions.

I have been wanting to purchase my first chef's knife so I decided to stop by here for some guidance. I did a lot of research on YouTube but I wanted to touch and hold some knives before purchasing. The owner was very helpful and informative and when suggesting knives, they were all reasonably priced. He recommended nothing too expensive since it's my first one. It was towards the end of the day but he was very patient. I didn't feel rushed or pressured into buying anything. I still ended up going home with a knife and it has made cooking more enjoyable.

Chef Elan knows knives, is passionate about them and his retail store shows that. Love the knife we just bought from him and plan on buying a new knife block in the near future. My significant other took a sharpening class from him and was very pleased with the knowledge he gained. Visit his new retail location on Platte Street (on the far right end as you are looking at the building). You won’t be disappointed!!

I've purchased two knives from Element Knife Company, one in person and one on-line, and both experiences were a cut above (pun intended). Elan is beyond knowledgeable and is able to share his expertise in an easy-to-understand and approachable way. I plan on continuing to invest in knives in the future and can't wait to purchase from Element Knife Company again.

Elan has set up an amazing shop here and runs it masterfully. I came in today in a bit of a rush looking for a gift for a friend. I told elan what i was looking for, gyuto, at least 200mm, around $150. He showed me at least 5 different knives in or around the budget and explained the different materials. Let me try them all out, it was a fantastic experience. He also gift wrapped it for me and did a beautiful job. Incredible selection and service, I will go no where else for my kitchen cutlery needs.
