A real knife shop,
run by a real sharpener.
Gio Guajardo · Owner & sharpener NorthWest Tactical Knives is a full-service knife store in Lynnwood, Washington — tactical, outdoor, and everyday blades, backed by more than a decade of hands-on sharpening and repair.
Owner Gio Guajardo built the shop around a simple idea: a knife is only as good as its edge, and most people have never felt what their blade is actually capable of. So every knife that crosses the counter — a $20 pocket folder or a collector-grade fixed blade — gets the same careful factory edge, set by hand.
Along the way the shop became the largest SOG authorized dealer in the Northwest, with the deepest selection of folders, fixed blades, tomahawks, tools, and gear in the region — plus authorized SOG repair and custom engraving under the same roof.
No counter theater.
- Straight answers. The person selling you the knife is the one who sharpens and carries them. Ask anything.
- Honest edges. No over-grinding to look busy. Just a clean, correct edge that lasts.
- Fair pricing. Sharpening starts at $13. Most jobs are done while you shop.
- The real SOG lineup. Authorized dealer and repair — not a display of leftovers.
Stop in and say hey.
