"Knives are good, because they don't make any noise, and the less noise they make, the more likely…read morewe are to use them." -- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) I have a lot of knives. Why? I'm a chef. Mostly a home cook these days, but occasionally I still do something in the professional arena. But my knives are my tools of the trade - an extension of my hands, if you will. They need to be sharp. You cannot do a good job in the kitchen without the proper tools and you have to take care of those tools. My previous bladesmith decided to stop returning my calls - his loss. And I really needed to find someone new. I wasn't sure how I was going to do this until I was at an Elite event the other day and it turns out the musician happened to be a bladesmith by day. Lucky me! Danny and I spoke for a bit and by Monday, he was at my house taking care of my knives for me. So here is the deal - he is mobile - 100%. He comes to you, so you are not without your knives. He sets up shop in his truck - and sharpens your knives while you go about your day. What's better than that? Sure, you can take your knives to the local kitchen store and be without them for a week, but why? Danny comes to your house. The beauty is that there is not a set up fee, or a "call" fee. He charges you per inch - so how ever many knives you have and however long they may be - that's what you pay. And that is how it really should be. And at the end of the day (okay 3 hours for 15 knives and 5 pairs of scissors) - my tools were returned to me super sharp and beautifully polished. It was like I had all new knives for the price of buying a knew fancy knife. I'll take it! Dull knives are dangerous - for many reasons. So in a year - I'll call Danny again.

Danny Ray Cole is not only great at sharpening and reshaping broken or neglected knives - He's also…read morea super nice guy, and even gave me a copy of his "Places You Go II" album, feel free to add musical phenom to that list of qualifications. My fiancee and I thoroughly enjoyed the album, and he was able to fix a pretty severe chip on a Shun Blue Kiritsuke knife - as well as reshaping the profile of the blade to my liking, also was able to fix a bent tojiro pairing knife, and bring back some life to a few German blades I had pretty much stopped using. All for a very affordable price, and in a timely manner. Will definitely be a return customer! Read another review about knives being less sharp after the service - a machine polished edge is still going to take a little love to get it where you want it, Take the time to use a leather strop or even newspaper afterward to finish the edge. You'll notice an immediate and incredible difference.

Then I found Nate and Simply Sharp! Having Nate just show up one morning and sharpen my knives in my own driveway was nothing short of Amazing! He was kind and thoughtful and gave me great tips for keeping my knives sharp. The whole service took 30 minutes and he was right on time. Nate even inspired me to not have all my knives just thrown in my utensil drawer. Now they sit nicely in a proper holder so they don't chip! I will absolutely call Nate back to give my knives some love when they get dull again.
