I had a couple of kitchen knives that needed sharpening, one a high-end knife and the other a cheap one. The owner, an elderly gentleman who gave off an aura of a supreme master of knives, carefully examined each knife and said he could sharpen both. I paid the fee and was told they would be ready in a couple days. Four days later I called and was told the knives were ready for pick up. Both were sharpened nicely, like new. The cheap knife, which originally had some damage to the blade, was repaired and looked like the day it was bought 20 years ago. We are happy to have both of these knives back in our kitchen, ready to slice away. While I was there, I asked if they had any kitchen scissors and I was shown a couple of options. The differences between them were explained so I could make the best choice. I bought a pair and have been very happy with them!

He checked to make sure if they were able to sharpen the blade or not. I love how the store was very unique and have an old school feeling. The price for the blade to be sharpened was not overly expensive either.

Was looking for a sauté pan with a glass lid. The staff explained that the glass lid was something that they don't normally stock as it is more of a retail item. This is more of a commercial restaurant supply warehouse. Can't find a glass lid anywhere. Did however find a couple spatulas, and serving spoons. Reasonable prices. I also believe it is better quality. Too bad I missed taking photos. I would say if you own a restaurant. They have it all.

I love to cook & I see all the possibilities of the items to make life easier or more efficient here. My santoku is starting to become dull & needs sharpening. I couldn't my favorite chef 's knife (the whole knife block cannot be found!) Hubby found a chefs knife & he got me the sharpener. I told him I wanted to get the stone/honing block but he opted for the metal kind. The staff are super helpful & answered our questions. There so many "toys" I wanted to buy but I must resist the urge to amass more "clutter" (that's what Hubby calls it, but he reaps the benefit when he eats what I cook). I still need a dumpling rolling pin, but they only have standard types at this location. Aisles are fairly spacious & inventory appears well stocked, neatly arranged & sorted. Prices are fair & marked accordingly. It has its own designated free parking lot. Good shopping trip, met our goals.

He arranged a drop-off time and place and managed to get my knives back to me in less than a day. The knives were expertly sharpened - I even threw in a ceramic blade that had been nicked and was on the verge of being trashed, he brought it back from the dead. The cost was even less than expected! I would not hesitate to use this service again and urge you to do the same!

So I went in for the first time to Mr. Sharpe today to get some knives sharpened for my dad for his…read morebirthday. It's always dads and their tools, haha. Anyways, I showed up in the afternoon on a Tuesday, and I was the only one there. Shortly after walking in, a man who I presume is the owner, helped me out right after I said I had 2 knives to get sharpened. The front area has a big wooden cutting board that you can use to demo the knives out after they're sharpened, which I thought was cool. There's also walls and walls of cool knives, which I couldn't tell if they were for sale or for demos, but they were really cool to look at while I waited. The service was incredibly reasonably priced. I was out of there with sharpened knives in less than 10 minutes and the space was reasonably large. I hope that means the business is doing well. It certainly deserves to. I got exactly the service I requested. The quality of the knives was so good that my dad actually got a little cut after I gave them back to him. Nothing major, but was a bit funny and definitely proof that they were quite sharpened. The value for the time was extremely good. This is the type of small business that you definitely want to support, and I'll definitely be recommending Mr. Sharpe knives in the future.

I went back a few times to do the same. Maybe their prices aren't the best, I didn't check, I figured even if it wasn't I'm helping out a local small business. Last time I went looking for something specific, they didn't have it. I tried striking up some friendly conversation with the guy at the counter. He was dusting and made it very obvious he had no interest in talking or being friendly or even courteous. That's ok, I lived my life fine without this store, I can continue on. I'm not going to bash the owners for this rude employee. I've been meaning to write a good review so I'll leave it as such.
