Sporting Cutlery Review

I have successfully sold a number of knives through SC. It's the safest way I have found to sell knives in the UK while adhering to UK Laws. The general customer service has been very good and I think the prices paid (commission rates) are fair. Any contact is usually answered very quickly and dealt with professionally. I will continue to use SC should the need arise.

★★★★★ A Fantastic Product!

★★★★★ Still using the very same Blade-Tech sharpener after more than 10 years – absolutely flawless!
I bought mine over a decade ago from a trade stall at some show (I honestly can’t even remember which one now) and I’m happy to report it’s still the one and only sharpener I reach for. It performs exactly like the day I bought it – no issues whatsoever, just perfect, razor-sharp edges every single time with almost no effort.
I’ve lost the little pouch it came with somewhere along the way, so now it lives permanently in my Leatherman multitool pouch. It keeps all my pocket knives, kitchen knives and the occasional tool sharp without fail.
In a world where most things are built to be replaced every few years, this Blade-Tech sharpener is a refreshing exception. Rock-solid, incredibly effective and clearly made to last a lifetime. I couldn’t be happier with it.
Thank you, Blade-Tech team, for creating a product that truly stands the test of time. You’ve earned a very loyal customer and I’m always quick to recommend you whenever sharpening comes up in conversation

Exceptional Service and Professionalism

I first contacted Sporting Cutlery in February 2024 to sell my extensive collection of 64 boxed high-quality knives on consignment. I’ve dealt with Aaron and Deborah through to December 2025 and their service has been exceptional.

They were both extremely professional and pleasant to deal with. They made the entire process very easy and kept me routinely informed on the status of individual sales.

They were 100% successful in selling the knives on my behalf. Whether you are looking to buy or sell knives, I would thoroughly recommend Sporting Cutlery and the team.

Definitely a hidden gem!

Sellers experience

Most of the reviews on here are from buyers. Mine is from a seller point of view. Everything from sending the knife to it being advertised was great. Sold pretty quickly and offer was made I excepted it. But then I heard nothing and received no payment. I had to chase sending emails and waiting days for replies. It's as been months and still no payment. I was told there was a family emergency and there was a back log. This i sympathise with because things happen.still waiting it's been over a week seen I was told I would receive the funds.
Better communication is needed .

Sporting Cutlery is a hidden gem

Sporting Cutlery is a hidden gem in the UK knife scene. I check in daily, they often have some incredibly rare knives that are very hard to come by in the UK and are always priced sensibly. They make an effort with their product pictures and descriptions, which is much appreciated. Amazing customer service with fast, secure and tracked delivery. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

I have just taken delivery of a Blade…

I have just taken delivery of a Blade from Sporting Cutlery. The whole process from start to finish was a delight as very quickly you realize you are dealing with fair, honest people who want to do the best for their customers.
I corresponded with Aaron & also Deborah both are so helpful and every question was answered in detail which as a result gave me no hesitation in trusting them and purchasing from them.
This is a company that is worth your hard earned money and respect, have no hesitation in purchasing from them, you will be looked after.
All the very best to you Aaron & Deb

Really good and very nice

Ok so one is oft cautious with new websites, especially for goods such as those that sporting cutlery sells. Anyway I went for the plunge on a lovely little folder they had.

Not only did the product far exceed my expectations, so did the incredible service I received from them. Personal emails, further description of product, received goods within 24 hours of purchase, age verification was breeze and generally speaking much nicer experience than most shopping tasks these days.

Can't wait for them to get something else that tickles my fancy!!
