A great many years ago, I was told if you get great quality knives, you actually only need 2 (3 if…read moreyou want to slice bread), so I invested in top of the line Wusthofs, and sure enough, the advice was correct. Fast forward 10 years and my knives, which have seen numerous adventures and use in the kitchen, were finally not the sharpest tools in the shed. Luckily I found Nordic Knives in BoDo. The cost of sharpening my 2 knives was only $10 ($1/inch), the work is superb, and they were ready the next day. I'd recommend Nordic Knives for their courteous, quality service -- plus you should stop in just to see their extensive displays. Update: Wow! I almost forgot how effortless sharp knives are to use in food prep. I'll have to be careful until I get used to them so I don't cut myself.

The abbreviated review is to say if you're looking for top notch sharpening at super reasonable rates you'll want to find this business. So to start I will link the page on their site that has their scheduled locations. https://tvmsharpening.com/schedule/ Right now they seem to have the truck parked in parking lots of small community grocers. Works for us! They'll also do house calls, if you have the amount of work to justify it. I'm thinking an annual or bi-annual community event in my neighborhood for the truck to park and neighbors to get their knives sharpened would be a great idea. The sharpening tradesman, Robert Barkley, has a sharpening shop set up in the back of the truck and a very nice woman, maybe the missus, is in the front taking in the items to be sharpened, writing out the invoices, providing time estimates for the items to be completed. (Plan on a couple of hours, plus or minus, depending on how many jobs are ahead of you and how many items you have to drop off. They will text you when job is done.) Both delightful people and I knew this would be so when on our first encounter Robert mentioned getting a pair of shears someone had brought in ahead of us as being a "bearcat" to reassemble for the unusual spring mechanism . That is the phrase used by my dad's relatives from the mid-west in the day and it was music to my ears. And to give you an idea of the fun sense of humor of this owner, when I unwrapped the knives at home I found his business card tucked in with a band aid stapled to the back. Sharp knives...band aid.. Clever! ;-) The first tranche of kitchen knives we brought in left the truck the sharpest they've been in a long time! Perfect edges. As a...umm...well seasoned home cook who has been passionate about local food sourcing and cooking for umpteen decades, cooking keeps me sane, this was a great start on the short list of 5 items I gave my husband of umpteen decades "minus" in preparation for a "Big Zero" birthday I have coming up. At the top was, "Get my knives professionally sharpened." Now he can check that one off and move on to the next item on the list. An equally practical entry, "Get my watch band resized." (Lucky for him have always been a cheap date. ;-))

Beautiful work, excellent customer service and if I do say so myself they both have a "razor sharp" sense of humor :) very fair pricing, so I always tip them as every service requested is completed beautifully.

They also were happy to help me with a return when I bought a spool of trimmer string which had been spooled wrong, which rendered it unusable. The exchange was quick and relatively easy, though they did ask for personal information with the return, such as phone number and home address, the latter of which I politely refused and they didn't mind. I guess this helps them track who is making returns, but I still find it a little gross when stores ask for this kind of information. -1* Will definitely buy my supplies here for my mowing company whenever I can.

Lemme tell you! Ok so REI is obviously a great store. There are some things about them I can't…read morestand..:like when they get involved in political crap. That ruins the vibe for me for any business. It's still a great store, but people need to shut up with getting involved in anything that has absolutely nothing to do with sporting goods, outdoor activities etc or whatever their business is. REI is crazy expensive tho! Ooooh! So Al's just opened. I was sad to see the trampoline park close and leave. Sports Authority was at this location at one time too. Mittens was on the board, soooo...ahhh! Never mind lol. They closed. Sad. Anyway, finally a store goes in there. Obviously we are talking about AL's. This store is fantastic. I know it's going to be pricey eventually, but when we went in, the sales they were having were amazing. They had great prices on almost everything. With Christmas coming up, too, I'm sure their sales will once again be epic. They have all kinds of top brands. North Face, Patagonia, etc. Any place that carries Patagonia is ok in my book...even if Patagonia is another company that gets too political way too often. They make great jackets tho. I've had my R3 for like 17 years and still looks new. So walking into Al's and seeing they sell Pats, made me happy. Pats in general are very expensive. So if they happen to have these on sale, don't hesitant to pick one up. Same goes for a lot of the other name brands they have here. Great store for hunters, for anyone who loves kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, I mean, it's just a great store. I'm usually iffy on these chain stores, but I think this one is mainly specific to this area of the country, PNW, and obviously Utah and ugh, I'm sure California as well..at least Northern California? Who knows. Most people I know have already been. My hunter friends are in love with this place. They have gotten some insane deals here. However, if you haven't been, you definitely need to check it out...especially now that the Christmas season is like a day away from officially beginning. No, it doesn't start the day after Halloween lol. We got a few things here when we went. One thing was a flashlight. There was a guy in that section, wish I remembered his name. His main job is he's a fireman. I remember at least that much. This guy was such a great help. Knew the products well, super friendly, perfect teeth haha, and I mean, he was fun to look at. Sorry, had to throw that last bit in haha, because shiiiieeeet! Hahaha! Super nice guy. Everyone we came across that works there was great and eager to help. I hope this place succeeds. That spot it's in is a weird one. It seems to do good elsewhere and with Boise being a huge outdoor city, I can't see this place actually failing. I can only see it flourish and I hope it does. Check it out. Thanks for reading, YelperAl's!! Cheers!
