I gathered my knives and brought them over, and not only did he sharpen them while I waited. We had a very lovely chat about life. Frank was knowledgeable and taught me things about my knives. He didn't sharpen anything that didn't need it, and the knives he did sharpen WOW! I I think they are sharper now than when they came out of the box. The best part was the price for on demand service. You can't beat it. Call Frank and get your knives sharpened today!!

Service was the opposite but my brother covered that in his review and John decided to text me after the fact wanting his review to pertain only to the knife sharpening so here that is.

I will start by saying that all the knives we had sharpened looked great and were extremely sharp…read moreafter using this service. This is a very mixed review because, up until we got our knives, the entire experience couldn't possibly have been easier or more pleasant. For some context, I live out of state, so all of my communication was over the phone or over text. The owner was extremely friendly on the phone and I arranged to pay in advance to sharpen 6 knives (the price was very reasonable). As this was a gift for family members, I gave him the name of my father as the recipient of the knives. However, somewhat confusingly, I then asked my brother who lives in the area to bring the knives in to be sharpened. The owner charged my brother for the service and my brother paid, both clearly misunderstanding that I paid in advance. This is where the entire service became unbelievably disappointing. The owner went back and forth with my brother about how unlikely it would have been that I paid in advance given that he normally asks customers to pay after he completes the sharpening job. After I sent screenshots of our earlier conversation and of my payment, the owner agreed to pay my brother back for the double payment. All was well and good except the owner sent my brother a text message saying "You all couldn't have made this more difficult". I concede that we weren't entirely clear in our communication but this is simply not any way to talk to customers who, lest we forget, had just paid for your service and apologized for our mistake. I was genuinely so excited to work with a small local business who, up to that point, was extremely friendly and helpful. Based on other reviews this is almost certainly an outlier which made it all the more bizarre. So, aside from a single completely unacceptable comment made in response to a common customer mistake, the service was everything we could have wanted and I hope he continues to provide great service in the future.

I found the Victorinox 250 at Country Knives on Wednesday and attempted to place an order through…read moretheir website. No matter what I tried, the checkout process would not work properly. Out of curiosity, I tested the inventory system by adding 100,000 knives and then 200,000 knives to my cart. The website actually allowed me to proceed to checkout with 300,000 knives, despite the fact that only 1,776 of these knives were ever produced. At that point, I decided to call the store the following day to verify that the business was legitimate and that the item was actually in stock. I spoke with the owner, Dave, about purchasing two Victorinox 250 knives and was told there was a limit of one per customer. I explained that I needed two and was advised to place the order online instead. When I pointed out that the knife retails for around $125 everywhere else, while their website listed it for $175, I was essentially told to take it or leave it. I was informed that they had three in stock and that I could purchase one for $175 plus $12 shipping, bringing the total to $187 for a knife that normally sells for about $125 with free shipping. The website itself continued to be problematic. It would not allow me to register an account, forcing me to check out as a guest. When I finally managed to place the order, the system allowed me to purchase two knives, which I needed as Father's Day gifts. Despite paying nearly $100 above retail for the two knives, I completed the purchase. Three days later, instead of receiving my order, I received an email demanding additional verification. I was asked to provide either a bank statement or my driver's license, along with additional credit card verification information, before my order would be processed. I was expected to send this sensitive personal information by email. Despite my concerns, I provided a bank statement with all sensitive information redacted and again explained that I needed two knives. When I followed up with a phone call on Monday, I was told that two of the knives had already been sold and that only one remained. I was then informed that because I had not provided my driver's license, my order would be canceled. His exact response was: "You're not getting any. I'm canceling your order." He then hung up on me. From Thursday through Monday, I got my order canceled after being asked to provide sensitive personal information. If you want to be asked for highly sensitive personal and financial information, enough to have your identity stolen or get brank fraud going since all of your info out in open and have your order canceled, Dave with his Country Knife store has you covered. I know I am not coming back and WILL make sure everyone knows about this business practices!
