LR's set up for appointments, drop off and pick up (and paying) likewise is incredibly user friendly and easy (trust me the easy statement is very important for me given the difficulty some places are with using their web sites, etc.). My knives have lasted years and will last longer. Again, I would highly recommend Local Root for your knife care.

The problem is that after they come you need to finish what they have started and it's not cheap. I had someone come just to clean my grill it's on top of my deck. When I came out to see how it was done there was dirt and grime water that dried all around the deck. So I had to spend time scrubbing the deck to try and get it off. Then I looked inside the grill grates 10 out of 10 clean. The Burners and burner covers looked good as well. The side was all around the sides of the grill were still caked with grime also the storage unit below was covered in dirty water took a long time clean the rest of the grill up. I also have a mainline connection they disconnected and never re attached. Great idea poor execution. Per the response below. I was never contacted. No one has ever offered to give me any sort of refund and or to re-clean the grill or all of the time that it took me to clean my deck and the surrounding areas. This is a classic example of someone writing a quick response, but not actually executing, which is even more poor of a business procedure than just ignoring your bad reviews. Is to claim Something and not do it.

I'm writing this review to let you know about Cut Above - Knife and Tool Sharpening located in…read moreTucson. My husband and I had a couple of expensive knives that we had purchased many years ago as well as a couple of other "not so expensive" knives that were all in dire need of sharpening. After looking on the internet, I came across this place and without even checking out their webpage, I called and set up a time to drop off our knives. Turns out, this is the one-man operation of a college student at the University of Arizona who took up cooking and learning how to sharpen utensils during Covid. Anyway - his name is Nick and besides being such a nice human-being, he was able to get our knives sharpened in one day and even brought them out to my car when I went by to pick them up. As far as his charges go - they seemed extremely reasonable to me but since I've never had any knives sharpened before I don't know how his rates compare to others. Regarding the quality of his work - both my husband and I are very happy with it. All the knives are so much sharper and are cutting things so much easier and better now. Why we hadn't had them sharpened before now - I'm not sure of the reason other than their becoming dull doesn't happen over night. To sum up, both my husband and I strongly recommend the services of Nick of Cut Above - Knife and Tool Sharpening.
