Raising The Burr did an amazing job sharpening some of our favorite knives, along with an old (and…read moreadmittedly cheap) pair of scissors that we just can't part with. His turnaround time was incredibly quick, everything was professionally packaged when we got it back, and they were way sharper than we ever could've gotten them ourselves. Such a worthwhile service. Thanks, Bruce! Knife sharpening with Bruce has officially been added to our semi-annual household chore list!

THIS SKILLED BLADE SHARPENER DEFINITELY KNOWS HIS TRADE. I sent him the same blade that I use in my…read moreguillotine by mail, and he did an outstanding job. The blade now cuts even better than when I first purchased it brand new. I discovered him on YouTube when I was desperately seeking out a solution to sharpen my dull blade. As we all know, brand new blades are never sharp enough. After reaching out to him via email and sending my blade, he quickly repaired it and returned it to me within just four days. The edge of the blade is now in SUPER EXCELLENT condition, and I am thoroughly impressed by the professional work that he did. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of blade sharpening. Thank you Sr. for a wonderful job. - Liz M.

If I ask about one of their bread machines, no one has used it before or knows how to use it or how it's been reviewed. If I ask for pastry making tools, like cake wrap for layered mousse cakes, they don't even know what that is (in fact, they ask ME if I know what I'm talking about.) It's nice that it's so packed with variety I guess, but no one ever knows where anything specifically is when I'm asking them, and it seems like it's not very thoughtfully curated by whoever is ordering everything (some things are obviously the "good" brand of things, while others seem like they came from the Oriental Trading Company catalog.) Seems like it's designed just for browsing and impulse-buying of Le Creuset teacups rather than to service people at home actually experimenting with and (trying to!) make creative food on the reg for their families. Which is fine for what it is, but I would love to have something more thoughtful, reliable and sophisticated nearby.
