Ambrosi Bros Cutlery Co

Im an executive chef at a sushi restaurant and brought my knives in to be sharpened. First I was asked if my knives had ever been sharpened i said yes and was given a yeah right look by the service guy. I said they are a high end sushi knife set that I spent alot of money on and they needed it be done well and that I dont allow anyone to just sharpen. He reassured me we are the best and not to worry. I used to get them sharpened by a friend of mine who made them so sharp you shaved hair off with them literally. I got them sharpened once every six months even with constant use they were sharper than what they gave me. I paid for 6 knives to be done and within two weeks of very light use, they can’t even slice a tomato. I look at the blades and see knicks where they stopped halfway through sharpening and began again. I found their service not only crappy but also disrespectful to my craft. You go by a chef’s knives and skills. They ruined half of it. Thanks for making me pay to have my knife inferior. Worse product service ever and their knowledge of knives not from a wal-​mart esque corporation laughable. Learn the trade before saying you’re the best.

I took every knife in my house to Ambrosi and it had been a very, very long time since any of them were sharpened. Some never. It was a bit f a drive but it was worth it. My knives came back very, very sharp, in fact I cut my finger the first day, after so many years of using a dull knife, I had to proceed with caution. I will continent these folks whenever I need to get the knives sharpened again!

Once I upgraded to a «real» chef’s knife due to a very generous Christmas gift a few years back, I knew my lackluster sharpening skills at home wouldn’t do my new blade justice. Since then, I’ve been taking my knives to Ambrosi for sharpening. They always put a very good edge on my knives, and they last a good while for me. It’s obvious they know their craft, and it’s always fun to hungrily eye the assortment of cutlery while you drop off or pick up your knives. They have very regular sales on the best brands of knives, so I’m planning on buying from them from now on when I upgrade my knives.

These guys just brought so much life back into my JA Hinkle knives!!! They sharpened our entire block for a very reasonable price, and I was able to purchase something I’ve always wanted… a Victorinox! It was used, but in great shape and they sharpened it for me on the house!
They will be seeing me, and my knives again!

I trained to be a chef in my mid-​twenties. I’ve always held the belief there are some items you only want to buy once. If you buy with wisdom, you will only need to buy once. Such was the case with my knives.
Although a hand injury prevented me from finishing my apprenticeship, I still use and love my knives. When they get too far out of line, I make the trek in Ambrosi Bros for them to do their magic. Took in about 8 knives and they all came back looking new. They even put a point back on my pairing knife ‘someone’ apparently used as a prybar.: (
When in training, I heard many chef’s say they would only go to Ambrosi Brothers. I’m the same way. Why mess with success?

Lots of cool things besides knives too! A miniature kitchen store with lots of high quality culinary tools. Check it out if you’re looking for a gift for a chef in your life — you’re likely to find something for them here.

Whenever I need my knives sharpened this is the only place in Kansas City that I will take them. The talented people at Ambrosi always return my knives in great shape and razor sharp. They will also tell you if your knives just need to be buffed out instead of sharpened, it’s not a big deal but it’s the honesty that I appreciate.
The selection of cooking utensils and various pots/​pans is also very impressive. They aren’t priced as competitively as the larger retail chains like Sur La Table but they will haggle a little on price.
Overall I would say they have the best selection of cooking knives in the city. Highly recommended.

This place was awesome. In and out in about 10 minutes on a Monday afternoon. Got my giant chef’s knife a new edge and now I’m a dangerous fool in the kitchen, be afraid. I also picked up a smaller 8″ chef’s knife for, I believe, $ 12 dollars, and I can guarantee it will stand up to knives 5x as expensive. It’s not pretty, just a basic blade that would typically be used in a restaurant (like the one I was taking in to get sharpened, my brother the chef gave it to me since my Bed Bath and Beyond knives were complete shite), but damn if it doesn’t get the job done. People were nice, interesting stuff to browse while I waited (which wasn’t much of a wait). Go here and make your knives happy.

Whether you are a professional chef, or the ruler of your home kitchen, if you are in need of knives come see Ambrosi Brothers Cutlery. They have a large selection of new knives… very nice knives… we are talking knives that run $ 50 to $ 100 or so each!
The best part is that if you can only drool on the new knife counter wishing you could get one, make your way back up to the front and check out the drawers of used knives. They are thoughtfully arranged by type, and it’s fun to dig through them to discover the knife for you. Just be careful, as they are sharp! These knives are priced in the $ 3-​$ 10 range. Granted, they may not be as pretty, and some of the plastic handled ones are sticky from years of professional kitchen abuse, but they can still get the job done. Add another $ 3-​$ 5 if you would like to get your knife (or scissors) sharpened in back while you wait. I think they only do knife sharpening Mon. — Thurs. You are welcome to bring in your own knives or scissors for sharpening too.
In addition to knives, Ambrosi Brothers offers a small array of other kitchen utensils — generally on the nicer end of the scale. This part seems to cater more towards the general public than professional chefs, but I could be mistaken about that. They have a little bit of everything.
On top of it all, the folks working there are nice and helpful.
