Blades With Honor


At The Cooking Guild our mission is simple. We create working tools for working people. Every knife is forged with integrity, designed for performance, and crafted to last a lifetime. Each blade is backed by our Guild Guarantee, meaning these are truly blades for life. We believe that true cooking starts with respect for the craft and the tools in your hands. Our goal is to put a Cooking Guild knife in every kitchen across America and beyond, inspiring cooks everywhere to create with confidence and pride.

Man, I don’t play when it comes to knives. These Cooking Guild blades stay sharp like they got somethin’ to prove. I use ’em at the restaurant and at home, from brisket to damn near everything else. They don’t just cut, they show up ready to work.
