Not only did we rank highly (top 20!) in our category, but this also means that the KnifeCenter is among the top 1,000 websites on the entire internet.
There are many elements that came together to secure our position, but they all revolve around our drive to deliver the best service and the most accurate and up to date information to our customers that we can.

knifeREWARDS
Our knifeREWARDS Program is our way of giving back to you. Every purchase earns you free money to spend on a future purchase. Some items even give you double points, so be sure to keep your eye out for those 2x items when shopping our website!
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Everything starts with our exemplary customer service team, who are always on hand to answer questions via email or over the phone (during normal business hours of course). Whether you have a question about your order, shipping information (we ship worldwide!), or you have a question about a particular product, we are here to help. Feel free to call (800.338.6799) or send us an email (support@knifecenter.com) if you have any questions.
PRODUCT SPECIALISTS
Most of the time, a lot of the information you need about a knife can be found on our product pages. We have a highly skilled team of product specialists that measure and weigh each new knife that comes into our building for accurate specs, and crafts descriptive text to really tell the story of each design. If you are in need of some information you can’t find in the description or specs, drop us a line via customer service and we will be happy to find the answer you are looking for!
PHOTOGRAPHY
Of course, the best descriptions in the world need a good photograph to back them up, and we take pride in offering the best shots in the industry. Our professional photographer knows exactly what is needed to show off the best angles of any knife. As long as we can open the packaging non-destructively, we even take our own detailed photos of every new knife that comes in so we don’t have to rely on what the manufacturer gives us. This ensures we can show off the most detail possible, giving you the best representation of what you will actually be receiving when you order.
SHIPPING DEPARTMENT
Speaking of receiving your order, the absolute most critical work we do here is getting your item to you accurately and on time. This is only possible because we have a professional and tight-knit shipping department that goes the extra mile to ensure everything is right. Each order is packed with care and double-checked before it leaves our door, with most in-stock orders being shipped the same business day.
THE WEBSITE
We couldn’t get through this post without mentioning the great folks who keep our website and newsletters running. This not only involves the developers who keep our site speedy and secure, but also our creative department that makes sure it looks great on all your devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile.
