How am I the first to review a business that has been around for over 70 years? Well, maybe it's because the place mostly serves the regional restaurant community. And I suppose it doesn't help that it's located on a stretch of Broadway up the hill in Schenectady that doesn't see much foot traffic. Plus, even if you were walking along Broadway, would you have your dull knives on you? Probably not. Did I mention that the hours aren't totally convenient either? Well, unless you're a morning person. But where else can you get your kitchen knives professionally sharpened for $3 a knife? Most of the fancy kitchen stores that offer a knife sharpening service do it for a buck an inch. I was able to get five knives done for less than the price of two. And at Cavoli's, they aren't running your blades through a standard over the counter knife sharpener that anyone can buy from Amazon. Nope. These guys are using large grinding machines, and grinding knives like it's their job. You know, because it is. Would I suggest you bring your finest Japanese knives here? Nope. Those require finesse. This shop is about brute force, which is exactly what my block full of long neglected knives needed. Just know, that when you go through these doors, it's not a place that's really set up for walk-ins. Still, the office didn't blink when I dropped off my knives. I left mine overnight, but I had the sense that they could offer same day service if you brought your tools in early enough. This is a fabulous resource, and I hope more people find it. read more

Cavoli's Grinding Svce - Door is open. That's always a good sign. - Schenectady, New York

The five stars says it all! I have had my knives sharpened here several times. It's not a fancy place but they do a great job and are so nice. Very reasonable prices and quick turn around, sometimes they can do them while you wait! Unbelievable customer service. read more

My kitchen knives were badly in need of sharpening. I found Cavoli's by searching the web. Three things to know about this business: 1) They do Quality work - my knives came back VERY sharp 2) They have reasonable prices - as low as $3.00 per knife 3) They couldn't be nicer - while I was there they gave me a crash course about knife edges, how to maintain them, and when to have them sharpened again. On top of all that, they sharpened my knives while I waited in less than 10 minutes. Great business. Highly recommended! read more
