After years of dilly dallying on sending our Shun knives to be sharpened, we finally realized that…read morethe more convenient option was (almost literally) in front of our noses. There's a reason Exact Blade has such consistently good reviews. We dropped off five knives to be sharpened, including one of our Shun knives. They were ready the next day, and I used one of the lower quality knives when making dinner. It was like having a brand new knife. Customer service is excellent, and pricing can't be beat. We've decided to do the subscription, at least until we get caught up on sharpening everything that desperately needs it. Soon the dullest thing in this house will be me!

If you need any blade sharpened look no further. This is the place to go. The guys there are great,…read morethey have excellent expertise, the prices are reasonable and the turnaround time is quick. They also have a great selection of numerous knives for any need. I just used them to sharpen both kitchen knives and garden tools and they brought them all back to life. Five stars!!!

Every single item came back in incredible condition--my knives are sharper than they've ever been, and the scissors cut like brand new. You can really tell there's a high level of skill and attention to detail in the work. Brian was courtious and professional, turnaround time was quick, and pricing was very fair for the quality received. It's not easy to trust someone with a full set of knives, but BK Sharpening Service absolutely delivered. Highly recommend to anyone looking to restore their knives or scissors--I'll definitely be using them again!

I came across The Art of Sharp searching online for an affordable mail-in knife sharpening service…read morein the midst of Covid-19. I was pleased to find Frank's service was recommended and located not far from where I live. That way I wouldn't have to wait on or have the expense of mailing. His informative website further confirmed my interest as pricing was straightforward and affordable. In addition, his background and level of training (with connections to Japan) looked quite substantial. He seems to approach knife sharpening as something he finds intrinsically compelling as an art, beyond just a business. When I called regarding his services, he was very friendly and flexible schedule-wise as far as when I could drop off my four knives. It took only a day to get them done and the price was very affordable. I'm assuming it was his wife who met me at their door both times. She was agreeable to work with. In all, I highly recommend this no-nonsense service. As expected, my blades were dramatically and affordably improved and I won't need to invest in a high-end forged blade any time soon.

I've visited this shop at least 2 times now. The first time was to ask whether they sharpen Cutco…read moreknives there. The answer was sometimes they do depending on the condition of the knife. A few weeks later I came back with my knife. They decided to send it to the factory in NYC. I didn't have to pay for the shipping if I pick it up from the store again when it is ready. I have been getting uodates via email about the progress. When it arrived at the Cutco site it was only a few days after when I received email update stating it's being sent back. I'm thrilled that this shop has the sheaths. They weren't available when I got my knives back in 2010. Love that sheaths prizes are affordable. I've been fully satisfied with my Cutco knives: 7" santoku, cheese, serated slicer and cleaver. Had them for more than 16 years. The staff here have been helpful and friendly.
