The knives are always spectacular
The knives are always spectacular, and I received timely and helpful CS. Recommend the cooking guild without question.
This knife is an absolute standout
This knife is an absolute standout—both in performance and appearance. The blade is razor-sharp, effortlessly slicing through everything from vegetables to meats with precision and ease. Its craftsmanship is clearly top-tier, with a sleek, polished finish that gives it a striking, professional look. The handle is comfortable and well-balanced, making it a pleasure to use for extended prep sessions. Whether you're a home cook or a seasoned chef, this knife is a beautiful, functional tool that elevates the entire kitchen experience.
The Kaiju Talon and Bone Crusher are…
The Kaiju Talon and Bone Crusher are Awesome! They are precise, sharp, beautifully crafted and handle perfectly! The Sheaths are crafted with so much detail! Truly an awesome set of knives - I highly recommend!
I sent my son the set for his birthday and his exact words were:
“Well I have to hand it to you mom. You do seem to know what I like. Lol they are definitely awesome knives, and they feel and fit nice in my hand. Thank you. I love you.
Please Stop spending money on me!
Thank you again.”
PS - I don’t plan to stop spending money on him🤭
TCG is TBE
I have been an avid Cooking Guild supporter for going on 3 years now. Back from when I purchased my first set, the Hand Forged, I’ve been hooked. Now I own just about every series the Guild has released to date. Ever special limited editions blades like the 5 year anniversary and the Viper.
The kaiju bunka is my all time favorite…
The kaiju bunka is my all time favorite blade, my go too in the kitchen and outdoors
The Most Terrifyingly Fun Knife
The Kaiju Series Bone Crusher is by far the most terrifyingly entertaining knife in my collection. I find myself constantly laughing at the ease of use the blade grants me while annihilating bone in proteins. The weight while heavy feels like it is a part of my arm and for that I couldn’t be happier
Awesome Nomad series!
I'm giving the NOMAD series fillet knife a 5 star review. This is a gift for my niece whom I have already given knives from this series. She loves the knives and especially the blue resin handles. I absolutely love the burl wood in them so it's a joy to give these knives to her. It's also nice to give something of quality, looks great and is super sharp!!
Placed an order 3/10/2025 for 2 knives…
07/25/2025 Update to the original review for my “latest”purchase which follows. After a few weeks of emails back and forth with The Cooking Guild’s customer service primarily Lei. Many questions were asked and answered honestly to assure either direction I took that it would be a “full refund” or a “complete shipment” asap once I retracted my dispute with my creditor. I opted to go forward in trusting “Lei” which she actually had my shipment sent before the authentication of my retraction. Although “this latest purchase” was a debacle, it ended well.
Original review - Placed an order 3/10/2025 for 2 knives and a magnetic knife block. Order was to be shipped in mid May. Nothing shipped other than continual emails about delays pushing shipping out 2-3 weeks. No shipping notic again but another email of another delay in shipping to mid June. Again no shipping notice other than another email about delays. I contacted my credit card company to begin a dispute on merchandise not received and to have a return of money.
What’s interesting is about a month and a half ago this company was asking me to resubmit a positive review I had once made. So I began reading recent reviews and lo and behold, so many other experiencing the same problem. So now I understood the request for another positive review was to balance all the negative reviews. What was absurd is that this company had the gall to ask for a positive review while continuing to bait me with proposed shipping periods for my purchase back in March.
Bottom line, I’ll never buy from this company again. Zero trust of.
Ordered a knife months ago
Ordered a knife months ago, back in March , kept delaying shipment. Was supposed to be delivered in May. Didn’t happen, had no problem taking my money though. Buyer beware, I don’t even think it’s a real co. Just seems like a scam. Definitely reported to BBB. Terrible , Terrible and Terrible. Don’t waste your money!!!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting months
I've been waiting months. Same excuses about production issues. I've needed these knives for my new job. I've given them all my order information and still just excuses.
I ordered a knife set the 26
I ordered a knife set the 26. Of April
And all I got so far, are delayed excusing over and over
Shitty company
These knives are amazing!
These knives are amazing!! I bought my husband about 6 for gifts with the sheath and magnetic block. He loves them!! Just be careful....they are VERY sharp!!
Personally I've never used their knives…
Personally I've never used their knives but I saw the Kaiju series, showed my head chef at work and he read the description of them and even looked at the pictures for them, said they seemed like they'd be good quality knives. My main reason for wanting them was the design and the Godzilla reference also lol. So far with customer service they get back with me almost as soon as I send an email or text their Instagram and they've been very informative. 10/10 service from the crew and all the help they've offered. 100% buying from them in the future whenever I have a free check lol.
Love my Grizzlys so I bought my own…

Bought More
I enjoyed my first knife so much I bought another. I wanted something small and the hand-forged knife was a perfect fit. I also scored a free slicer which I use often. I keep looking for excuses to buy knives now.
My favorite knives
Have brought two sets now - and by far my favorite set of knives ever used. Already eyeing up my next purchase from the range!
