Reviews of Grohmann Knives (Fish Shop)

Great products but staff not overly friendly. Nice to have a quality knifemaker in the province.

Pathetic Customer Service

The Man With No Name

Love the knives but customer service lacking and not open on weekends. Makes it hard for people that don't live handy, wasted opportunity.

Ellen

Really cool experience. Large selection of knives and a collection of handmade pieces on display. Definitely worth a visit.

Guy Johnson

Very helpful staff, great prices on the factory seconds.

Brendan Duff

A seriously great company. Excellent quality blades. Love my bird and fish knife. Have carried it over seas and out hunting for years

Kim K

Interesting mix of knives and kitchen gear.

My wife and I were traveling through the Maritimes a few years ago. Happened to stop in Pictou for the night, and wandered around the town next morning. Just happened to go into this store, thinking that I could kill some time while my wife was window shopping somewhere else. She ended up buying a serrated edge knife here that day, then ordered another one (large butcher style knife) to be shipped to BC (where we live). Both knives hold their edge quite well (serrated knife blade hasn't been touched since we bought it and it can still slice tomatoes paper-thin).

Closed to public and online pickup only. That's unfortunate and maybe it's time to implement Covid protocol

Twenty three years ago we drove around Nova Scotia sightseeing, and researching our heritage. We came across the Grohman knife outlet, and bought a paring knife. It still is used every day.

Amanda Cheverie

Richard Kaminski

Great store. Great knives, even the so-called seconds. Terrific staff.

Todd Oliver

These guys are great. Proud that they are Nova Scotian. Super proud they've keep their production right here. Love their products I own a few and will purchase more in the future. I always promote their knives to friends looking for Quilty products.

Amazing experience, bought a #3 seconds. Don't see anything wrong with it. Amazing quality, feels great in the hand and cuts like butter. The customer service is top notch, I requested a diffrent sheath in the notes but it was sent with the normal one. They offered to send a new one out postage paid.

Lorrie Morse

If you need your knives sharpened then this a good place to go. Customer service seems ok but not much in the store for variety, over all it's ok

Graham Brownlie

Awesome. Got what I didn't even know I needed, but very happy with my high quality purchase!

Alexander S

Funny little store, fantastic knives and prices though.

Daniel Colautti

Ordered a knife, they didn't have the proper sheath material which I understand can happen due to material shortages. I didn't receive a invoice from my order, couldn't confirm the item I purchased at all until it showed up and was the wrong knife steel, rusted the very first day I used it due to wet conditions. The customer service rarely responds with anything other than copy and pasted company nonsense. Knife has a sharp blade but so does a box cutter. Save your money for someone who deserves it.

John Bouma

Great selection of knives at good prices.

Tony Rossignoli

Not the best place to buy a knife. The service is the worst. Very slow, missed details, customer service nightmare. In the end I received a credit but lost 25%. Buy local to where you live or order from Amazon. I thought supporting a Canadian company was the way to go. Never again.

Dan Hutt

Great knives. Last a lifetime.

Apparently, no one at Grohmann understands the concepts of either quality assurance or customer service. I purchased one of their products six weeks ago—it was quite obviously defective. I was advised by Melody to return it (at my cost); I have yet to receive a replacement. Both the USPS and Canada Post have verified that the parcel was delivered and yet everyone at Grohmann denies having taken delivery of the item. The product should never have been shipped in the first place (it was defective), I should not have had to pay for international return shipping on a defective item, and my integrity should not be questioned by Grohmann employees. I am left with one choice; I'm going to dispute the charges with my financial institution. It's rather sad that this is what customer service has been reduced to. My advice to any potential Grohmann customers—don't buy this rubbish!!!

Adam Whynott

Received 2 knives as an Xmas gift from a family member. My family member expressed his displeasure with the customer service when he ordered the knives. Now I have the knives and 1 is flawed. Sent an email and pictures of the damage with no response. Customer service sucks or is non existent. I was in the store to pick up the knives and also felt less than welcome. If I could give a 0 star I would have. I will never do business with them again.

Ken Bateman

This is the best place to pick up quality knives at a decent price. The staff give you room to look around, don't pester you and can answer any questions you might have. If you are a chef or perhaps looking for a good pocket knife check this place out!

Not open but the website said it was

Have had a DH Russell Trout knife for almost 45 years. Visited the factory here and asked if they could do a factory resharpen whilst we did the tour. Was asked to leave it for a few hours and come back. They gave my beloved belt knife a “Spa Day”! It was sharpened, metal buffed, rosewood handle polished and waxed. Wow. What service. Wish we had brought our even older knife along as well! Bought a beautiful chef’s knife on the way out as well.

Neal Chauhan

Take the free knife tour, it's awesome!

Sandy Michalik

Pascal Bouchard

Great knives and customer service, had a mistake in my order and they fixed it quickly. I surely recommend your products.

James Brunette

Excellent knives and wonderful service. We stop by every time we're in Pictou and are building a collection of outdoor and kitchen knives. You won't be disappointed.

Michelle Irving

Excellent products and service.

Paul Pentz

I have a large number of Grohmann Knives , all of which I purchased in Pictou. I find the service great and the product the same. They do a wicked job when they sharpen them , awesome. Must see place if you haven't been there.

Karen Logan

Very helpful staff. Purchased a great pocket knife as a gift for my husband. Highly recommended!

Ray elsworth Peter

Some of the best made survival knives I have ever had the pleasure to hold in my hand. FYI, this is a world with at least a million knife makers.

Shawn

Well known knife builder in Pictou, NS, nice store, staff could be a little bit more helpful tho, drove hours to buy a knife and didn't really feel welcomed.

Christel Bellisario

The knives and scissors were sharp and reasonable priced.

Mitchell MacDonald

50% off seconds

Brad Beuermann

A good selection and have seconds if price scares you at first.

Karen Hart

Very helpful and friendly staff

Daniel Welsh

Awesome place to buy world renowned knives.

Mathieu Pilon

I had one of their knife a while back and loved it. So I decided to buy one for my dad. I called the factory and they said two weeks of waiting, that’s three months ago and still no news. Very disappointing.

Lynn Cragg

Amazing knives, personal service and good prices for the quality

C Magliaro-Sioui

The quality is not the same as past years. The leather sheaths are no longer solid cowhide. The blade finishing looks subpar and the knife was not a factory second. I had to refinish the knife as the blade was not polished properly and the handle had rough edges. I discarded the sheath. Grohmann what happened!?

Kendra Smith

Disappointed....showed up to the factory this morning, a family of 5 from Alberta...and they would not give us a tour because we did not have a reservation. They have great knives....I own 7....but I have bought my last.

Deborah Riles

Will never buy or recommend anything from them again. Warranty work it crappie. The repair job they did on the $100 knife has all kinds of glue residue and clamp impressions from holding the knife together. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Ted Meyer

Lots of knives good selection friendly staff

Noel St.Pierre

Not impressed at all, ordered a knife in early November 11 and it hasn't shipped. No Response from Grohmann at all about why it hasn't shipped.

The Grohmann store in Pictou is a favourite stop whenever I travel through that area. The knives are excellent quality, and I have now accumulated 8, plus a couple more purchased to give as gifts. Prices can seem high if you're used to buying cheap imports, but considering the quality and workmanship which are involved, it's not unreasonable, plus they last nearly forever if you care for them well. My oldest Grohmann is 11 years old and going strong despite regular kitchen use. My favourite part of any visit is browsing the "seconds" clearance displays in hopes of finding a knife that I desire priced 50% off. Having said the good stuff, there is however room for improvement. Sometimes the staff are not friendly and engaging enough and the store could benefit from the addition of subtle background music. These two shortcomings can make for a "chilly" experience. On other visits, different staff have been better and their appreciation of quality knives was apparent. This made for a better shopping experience. So it depends on who is working behind the desk during your visit. Overall, I've been very pleased with my visits and the quality knives I've left with and will continue to visit the shop whenever I'm travelling near Pictou.

Alex Keir

Excellent knives, locally made!

Derek Forbes

Quality products

Jim Wortman

Great knives and unbelievable warranty

Carrie Gillis

I love their "tomato" knives as steak knives. I have ones with the epoxied handle and just wooden handle. They all stand up well in the dishwasher and have maintained their sharpness completely though I have been using them for over 10 years. Excellent quality knives. Thank you Grohmann!

Jeanne J

Great quality knives. They have good hours including Sundays and you can submit a request for a certain knife for seconds (and with a specific request for the wooden handle). The prices are excellent.

Sandra Burns

Family business, amazing story. Fantastic knives that hold their sharpness for a really long time.

Neddy Seagoon

Please don't waste your money on these knives. They are very poorly built, the customer service is horrific, my knife turned up with dirt and finger prints varnished into the handle, the blade is wonky, the grind is uneven, the handle does not fit. Customer service ignores email and calls. Attached photos so you can decide for yourself.
