We have long been looking for a place to get our gardening sheers sharpened. In the meantime we…read morehave suffered with duller and duller tools. I found this place, on Elmwood, thanks to another yelper. This is a small shopfront, with what seems to be a larger space in the back, but its completely closed off so you cant see it at all. However, since parking is on the side street you can see how far back the building goes. As a test I dropped off a large kitchen knife and a pair of sheers, smaller ones, used indoors mostly. The total cost for the two was $9 I think. $3 for the knife and $6 for the small sheers, which need to be taken apart to sharpen. We've been using both for a few weeks now and are pleased. He takes much of February off and heads to FL to see family, which I know because I happened to stop by on a Sat and his last day open was going to be Monday. While this is a store without any frills or perhaps even a welcome mat, it is functional, and the proprietor is pleasant and made this easy. We plan to take other tools here as soon as he is back in town. I'm a fan, seems to be one of two places in the area to get things sharpened, and this one is closer to home for me. Parking is street.

Very nice person, and did a good job with sharpening our pole saw, hedge shears and garden shears. We would recommend him for anything that is lawn related and is need for course sharpening. However, we provided him with varying kitchen knives to sharpen; paring knives, Henckell chef knives, bread knife and a large professional butcher knife. Altogether, about 12 knives. They all worked well but were getting dull and needed sharpening. After George sharpened these knives, we could not even cut through a basic lemon. The knives were in worse condition afterwards than before they were sharpened. We do not recommend this service for any kitchen knife sharpening. All our knives were completely dull and unusable in the state they were in. We didn't reach out regarding our disappointment, as we felt that if you are claiming you sharpen knives and have such great reviews online, then, we would expect the job to be done properly the first time. We could accept if it was only one or two knives that weren't sharpened properly, but all of the ones he handled were dull and worse than originally provided to him to sharpen. In all honesty, our knives are expensive and we didn't want to waste our time again. We have since found an alternative person who did an amazing job resharpening them and will use him moving forward.

But the location is not the only engaging quality the store possesses. It is a classical small hardware store where you can find almost any part or tool from someone who knows what you need. Instead of wandering the aisles looking for parts and for help, you are greeted by someone who points you to the answer. The store is actually an Ace Hardware store and has a pretty complete selection of parts and tools. The prices are bit higher than you will find at the big box stores, but you save in time and in lack of angst. A place that will be on my list if favorites for some time to come.
