We arranged a date, and he brought his van to my neighborhood for a Knife and Tool Party. I'm still getting thank-you notes from my grateful neighbors. He takes your knives, and texts you when they're done. My high-carbon Sabatier and Henckel knives are beautifully sharp, as is my lawnmower. We'll be calling him back every year, I think. If you've got a place for him to park his van, I encourage you to have a sharpening party in your neighborhood. Bobby's a super professional and friendly guy, and his wife is beyond sweet. They're a good team, and they do good work.

The problem is that after they come you need to finish what they have started and it's not cheap. I had someone come just to clean my grill it's on top of my deck. When I came out to see how it was done there was dirt and grime water that dried all around the deck. So I had to spend time scrubbing the deck to try and get it off. Then I looked inside the grill grates 10 out of 10 clean. The Burners and burner covers looked good as well. The side was all around the sides of the grill were still caked with grime also the storage unit below was covered in dirty water took a long time clean the rest of the grill up. I also have a mainline connection they disconnected and never re attached. Great idea poor execution. Per the response below. I was never contacted. No one has ever offered to give me any sort of refund and or to re-clean the grill or all of the time that it took me to clean my deck and the surrounding areas. This is a classic example of someone writing a quick response, but not actually executing, which is even more poor of a business procedure than just ignoring your bad reviews. Is to claim Something and not do it.

I unknowlingly purchased a left-handed ski jacket from Montec for my wife. I found out from Zipper Hospital that if you use right hand to zip close it can result in damaging zipper. As most people are right handed this was probably my wife's issue. The Zipper Hospital was able to replace my Montec zipper slider (not full zipper assembly as this was still good after only wearing jacket 4 times) in less than 30 minutes for $25. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using the Zipper Hospital for any ski or snowboard jacket repairs of waterproof zippers. Thanks Zipper Hospital!

Best selection of knives. Was really excited to discover this store, and see that they take knives…read moreseriously. In Downtown LA there is a fantastic store that has an insane number of knives... maybe too many. This store claims that they they have the biggest selection of knives in New England. I feel like they have enough good knives to have a varied enough selection for different preferences, but yet not overwhelming their customers with too many choices. I got a great bread knife that I'm really happy with recently. It's just the right weight (not to light) and has a really comfortable grip and an "elegant" length. It makes cutting breads really smooth and easy to cut very thin slices. It is apparently their best bread knife, and at $150, I think the price is right. Despite being on Beacon Hill, I don't feel that their prices are high or unreasonable, but just right. The store is fun to browse through for many other kitchen or cooking supplies or gifts. As a well-stocked mom and pop store it has that quality of surprise at finding something you never thought about. The personnel is also very helpful. I've been there a couple times and they seem to be knowledgeable and willing to help, to explain things and answer questions. They have personal experience with the things they sell.

But the service was bad and we encuntered terrible attitude. First of all, for a fine knife store, there was no ability to try any knife. We selected a Mac 6.5in for $150 based on our past experience. It turned out they only have the one display knife to sell in the store. We also wanted to buy a magnetic knife holder. Again, it is only available inside the sealed box. We could not open the box to examine the product. We decided to just buy the knife as a gift. Paid by credit card but had to ask the clerk to get my receipt. Even that, the first offer was by email only. Overall, it was a terrible experience. Do not go there. Not worth it.

Mr. sharp is so convenient and did such a great job on 13 knives I brought to him plus a hedge clipper! Be careful though! They are sharp, and I cut myself (nothing fatal) almost immediately.
