Here's a list of shops recently recommended. There may be more. NYC is not particularly knife-friendly. Rents are high and regulations can be intimidating.
Nevertheless, what we've got is good. Mastersmiths is new, and a group of our guys stopped by last Saturday and really liked the place. (
Anyone Been to Mastersmiths in NYC? )
