I'm overdue in writing a review for Albert…read more When Bob from SKS moved to go fly fish with Brad Pitt, I was suddenly without a knife guy. Then Albert just casually walked onto the scene and so I thought, let's bring the global in for a sharpening because even if he destroys it, I won't be mad. I'll keep it short and simply say the Albert is definitely my knife guy, I bring him all my knives.... Pocket knives, huge cleavers, the stuff from Japan..... yep all the steel goes on dates with Albert. Oh and he always is selling cool new/vibtage/local knifes in stor

He was able to work me in same-day. You probably don't have two sets of knives. It was important to have my knives back before dinner. Finally the price was reasonable for the number of knives and how much sharpening they needed.

Rob saw that a wood sleeve for one of the knives was busted and he fixed it at no charge. I also had him come out and look at refinishing a table, and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

I went here about a year ago to see if they might be interested in making a custom tsuba for my…read morekatana. The smith was a total jerk and seemed to not know the term "tsuba," either, even though he was determined to make me feel the idiot. In spite of all this I purchased a shiny axe with a dark oak handle from them, in part because I wanted to support a local business and in part because it seemed balanced and looked nice. It was not cheap. Now one year later I see that the chrome plating now has some black spots that will not rub out, even though it has been sitting in my bedroom the whole time and I have not used it to cut anything. A quick google search finds that: "This problem of black spots which you are facing seems related to base material defect which you might have failed to notice during pre cleaning stage and the same is appearing over a period of time once plating is completed." In summary- this blade smith sucks.
