Kiwi Blade Knives

I cannot recommend Willie and Angela enough if you have knife making or repair needs. After a house fire, I retrieved a 50 year old kitchen knife with significant memories from the ashes, and an 80 year old steel, and some of the old Matai floor board. Willie and Angela immediately embraced the importance of these items to our family, and got to work. Incredibly responsive, talented, and tuned into what I was trying to achieve. If you are reading this review, stop. Call them. Don't look any further, or worse-still buy a boring knife.

Absolutely amazing. Had high hopes going into the course and all expectations were exceeded. Knife came out better than I expected with no previous experience. Willie is a master craftsman and a wealth of knowledge and answers any question asked. Angela made some beautiful home cooked food and was very friendly and attentive throughout. Worth every penny.I'll definitely be back.

Our family ageing from 14 to 45 had a fabulous day creating and learning the processes of knife making. All coming away with knifes that will be treasured. Willie and Angela went above and beyond! Thank you so much, I am sure we will be back!

Totally amazing service at kiwi blade, had resteration and sharpening of my grandfather's knives. They are like new! So happy with the result❤️

We did the knife making course on 6/06/2020 with Willie, and what an epic day! Starting the beginning of the day with no knowledge of knife making and a piece of paper, ending the day with a completed knife. Fun throughout the day, good yarns from Willie and great food from Ange. Recommend to all. Also we've bought 3 knives from Willie in the past 6 months. One from the Mangawhai markets for a gift, and two custom made as wedding presents - which the recipients were very, very happy with. So if you're in need of a new knife, a fun day out or a present Kiwi Blades is the place to go!

For custom knifework, you really can't get any better than Willie & Angela from Kiwi Blade Knives. They made cooking knives for our son who is a competition steak cook, and the craftmanship and attention to detail was second to none. The knives we have bought from KBK's will last a lifetime and more. You don't see quality like this everyday. Definitely recommend.

This was the first time experience at making a knife and I can say I really enjoyed the experience. Willy was so patient with the group as well as educational, he really knows his stuff.At the end of the day I was so proud and educated on making a real hand crafted knife. I intend to go back and make another type of knife.Angela put on a great service in providing the various food choices and refreshments we all had full bellies.I would highly recommend having a go at making one of these high quality knives,it's fun, entertaining and very friendly.Thanks guys so very much for the experience and will see you again soon.Neil Winfield

Fantastic service. Friendly owners. Got my well used knife sharpened and now it’s like brand new again. Thanks for your amazing work will definitely be back again to either buy a new knife or one of your knife making classes

Our bridal party got together to do a one-day course and had an absolute blast with Willie and Angela. The day was truly fantastic and Angela's food is worth the visit on its own! Willie is passionate about his craft and it was contagious to be around. Very experienced knife maker, dedicated teacher and everyone left with a giant smile ear to ear with their creation in hand. High quality results, you will leave with a heart full of a joy and a very full stomach.Would give this more stars if I could!
