THE CANDY STORE FOR COOKS

Northwestern Cutlery caters to anyone who loves to cook. Since 1975, we have specialized in sharpening services in Chicago. Northwestern Cutlery has evolved into a full service store for professional and amateur cooks alike. Stop in and have your knives sharpened while you wait. While waiting, pick up that hard to find gadget, add to your cutlery and cookware collection, or sign up for a knife sharpening class. If you’re looking for that perfect edge and can part with your knife for a day or two, we’ll hand sharpen your knife to perfection.
