I've used this service on 2 separate occasions. The good thing about them is that they will come to…read moreyour home and sharpen your knives for you outside your driveway, which is better than having to physically drive to someone and leaving them for hours or days to do the same thing. However they recently lost their traveling knife sharpener and in the process of training a new one, which was not made clear on the website when I was trying to book an appt only to find they had none. I'm glad they are eventually getting another person, but it is a frustrating dilemma because finding someone to sharpen knives is not easy to begin with. Beyond that their prices are kind of high, but you're paying a premium for convenience I guess.

This is a great service…read more Yes, I should sharpen my own knives. I should also take care of them better. But I don't. I don't have the time, or frankly the interest. The sad reality is that I have better knives than I deserve. So when the guilt and shame of having dull knives becomes too much to bear, I am thrilled that I can rely on Roaming Stone to come to the rescue. In the past, I've brought my knives out of the house to be sharpened, and it's a giant pain in the neck. For starters, I have a lot of dull knives. Traveling with them feels weird and creepy. Walking around with them, even when they are dull, feels quite unsafe. Plus these past excursions meant I was without my knives for a few days. With Jacob, it's quick and easy. I set up an appointment online. He showed up on time (actually a few minutes late, but he texted me in advance). I was handed a gray felt basket for my dull knives. Jacob did his thing in my driveway while I did some dishes in the kitchen. Then he was done. With a swipe of my credit card the bill was paid. Now I have functional knives again, and it feels so good. It's just $6 per regular straight knife, regardless of the size. Ten inch chefs knife? Six bucks. Eight inch cleaver? Six bucks. Crazy long butcher knife? Six bucks. Of course that meant my little paring knife was also six bucks, but it all comes out in the wash. Really, with my big knives, I still feel like I came out ahead. Regardless, it's a fair price for the service. Jacob even offered some helpful tips at the end of our session about how to best take care of my tools. He was a good sport when I told him my plan was to keep abusing them, and will set up another appointment once I could no longer face their diminished edges. If you have enough time to enjoy cooking, but not quite enough time to sharpen your knives, this is how you should roll.

Last time I wrote a review for here I was not a homeowner. Now I've been one for over 12 years and…read moreI've been here many times over for goodies for my yard, gifts, treats for myself, etc, and it's become one of my favorite places in town so I figured I should finally give them good update! No matter the time of year I love visiting Downtown Home & Garden. My previous review stated, "I love any store where I can get tulip bulbs, a new bird house, a winter hat shaped like a Christmas tree, a new cookie sheet and a loaf of Zingerman's bread" and all that still rings true. But these days I also add national parks merch, gear for my dogs, holiday decor, kitchen gadgets and cookbooks and, perhaps most exciting for a Polish broad like myself, a variety of Polish pottery pieces. In the spring and summer months I can be found perusing peony bulbs for my garden, hummingbird feeders, bird seed and squirrel proof bird feeders, planters, plants/starters for my veggie garden, pest control and fertilizers, plus a variety of lawn decor and sculpture pieces, etc. Some things can be kind of pricey but you truly get what you pay for. Even after years out in the elements everything I've bought for my yard here is still in amazing condition, my plants from here always yield the most delicious fruits and veggies, and the little birdies are so happy with the snacks we provide them from their bins.
