We showed up on a Saturday early afternoon and they were able to take us right away. Turn-around service for six knives, including a serrated tomato knife and a utility knife that needed to be retapped took 30 minutes. Alena and Jeremy were super friendly and knowledgeable, happy to show off their selections of good cutlery but not at all pushy. After all was said and done, it was less expensive than i thought it would be, and soooo worth it. I've been cooking up a storm ever since. read more

Visited the Waukesha Farmer's market and met with one of the artisans. We decided to give them a try and brought all of our good kitchen knives (about 10 or so) to their store in Brookfield.

On the spur of the moment I decided my knives were dull and I wanted them sharpened. Found Moleta and liked the reviews so I emptied my knife drawer and went to see them. First off, they made my old tired knives look and perform better than new. Second this place is awesome. Not only do they have an incredible knife shop but they have a kitchen store with lots of new gadgets AND a local indoor Farmers Market right next door. I will be making trips back to this place! read more

My knives, pruning shears and lawn mower blade needed sharpening. Previously I used the Sharp Brothers however their craftmanship has been unacceptable. I am so pleased that Molenta opened their doors, and I will NOT go anywhere else. The craftmanship and customer service is outstanding. I recommend that you only utilized their skilled craftsman's if you want to be pleased with the results. read more

We made a last minute appointment to have our carving knife sharpened. We've had this knife for over 20 years and use it only 1-2 times a year so it had never been sharpened. Moleta took us right away and sharpened our knife in under 2 minutes. To say it is SHARP is an understatement! I picked up the pricing card and we now plan to bring in our yard tools for sharpening before summer. The pricing and turnaround time cannot be beat. Highly recommend! read more

Brought my kitchen knives for professional sharpening. They had convenient appointment booking in advance and had a quick turnover of less than 15 minutes for 3 knives. Pleasant and friendly service with a personal touch. It's clear they really care about the quality of their work. Would highly recommend and will definitely return. read more

Moleta is at the Thiensville Farmers Market on Tuesdays. I dropped off my knives when I got there and they were ready when I left. I brought in 2 very old knives, thinking this would be the last chance of sharpening them before having to buy new knives. After Moleta sharpened them, they were like new. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend Moleta for your knives. I saved lots of $$$ not having to buy new ones. read more

Did a great job with our knives, including a $300 shun knife that my husband had shredded- he put it through a pull-through sharpener and left lots of notches in the blade. To be fair, I also dropped it and nicked off about 2 mm from the tip... but she put a whole new edge on it and it came back from Moleta as good as new!! read more

The owner of the store was very knowledgeable and kind. I made an appointment and my knives were sharpened in a timely manner. She also explained the scam with the self-sharpening devices. It was a pleasure doing business there an I will certainly return read more

I saw the owner's lecture at the WI quilt show. When I got home I packed up and sent several knives and scissors to be sharpened. I mailed them on Tuesday and got them back by Friday all beautifully sharpened and fixed! Will definitely use their service again for all of my knives, scissors, etc. read more

I have been looking for a good place to get my sharpening done for some time now. The folks at Moleta were excellent in that they came onsite; set up their sharpening tools outside; and finished sharpening an assortment of about 45 different knives, scissors, and hatchets in 2.5 hours. They also used a nice wood treatment on my knife blocks and were both friendly and courteous in all their interactions. Cannot recommend these folks enough. read more

I never thought I'd find myself gushing about a knife-sharpening business to anyone who will listen, but here I am! Staff was responsive, communicative, kind and were incredibly accomadating with safety precautions amidst Covid and a snowstorm. If you've never had your kitchen knives professionally sharpened, you'll thank yourself after you do! Quality was top notch, and I love the opportunity to support local, woman-owned and operated small business! I just wish I had more things that needed sharpening!! read more

Wonderful service and amazing quality. My knives are the best they have ever been. Will be bringing all my sharpening needs to them in the future. read more

I have brand new scissors, gardening pruners, and loppers!! I had 3 scissors, 2 thread trimmers, 2 pruning shears, and a long bladder trimmer/lopped sharpened - all for less than $70!!!! Love love love Moleta! They do great precision work, turnaround time is short (I'm a quilter & can't be without my scissors), and at a very reasonable price. I've taken lawn mower blades and shovels to get the edge resharpened also. So lucky to have them in our backyard! read more

We go often to the Waukesha Farmers market and noticed the Moleta Artisanal Sharpening. I stopped once and and asked what is artisanal about it. She explained it to me, nevertheless I walked away unimpressed thinking it was just marketing speak. Fast forward a month or so and I decide to take my knives in figuring they will be as good as any other sharpener I have been to. Nope! It was not just marketing speak - artisanal truly means something here. My knives looked great - better yet they were as sharp or sharper than when we bought them over 30 years ago. I'm a convert to Moleta Artisanal Sharpening and would encourage you to be as well. read more

I've never had professional knife sharpening before and wish that I hadn't waited so long. The work was done while I waited and it was a pleasure watching what a practiced hand could accomplish. Our kitchen knives are now far sharper that I could ever have gotten them on my own. Prices were very fair. Thanks! read more
