I tried hand sharpening my personal very expensive McNees Mac 2 3.5" and it turns out I'm not as…read moregood as I thought so I had him fix it and lay the bevel angle back a little bit and he made it look and perform better than new. On top of that he sharpened my Demko AD20.5 to perfection.

I went here about a year ago to see if they might be interested in making a custom tsuba for my…read morekatana. The smith was a total jerk and seemed to not know the term "tsuba," either, even though he was determined to make me feel the idiot. In spite of all this I purchased a shiny axe with a dark oak handle from them, in part because I wanted to support a local business and in part because it seemed balanced and looked nice. It was not cheap. Now one year later I see that the chrome plating now has some black spots that will not rub out, even though it has been sitting in my bedroom the whole time and I have not used it to cut anything. A quick google search finds that: "This problem of black spots which you are facing seems related to base material defect which you might have failed to notice during pre cleaning stage and the same is appearing over a period of time once plating is completed." In summary- this blade smith sucks.

I have driven past Tacoma Knife Sharpner practically everyday while on my way to work. But it was…read morejust a few weekends ago when I finally made a stop in here. Steve and I were quite impressed with the various knife selections for all of your kitchen needs. Very cool! We definitely have a place to keep in mind when we need to upgrade our knives for cooking. In additional to that there are seasonal spices and such here. There is quite a selection of local hot sauces from a brand I haven't seen before... so we will keep that in our minds for future reference also when our hot sauce stash needs to be replenished.

They have a lot of neat gadgets and kitchenware in various price points and a reasonably priced sharpening and repair service. The community is lucky to have them and I will definitely be back. They also were willing to sell me a knife that is part of their restaurant collection- quality blade from a respected manufacturer with a cheap unbranded handle because for a paring knife, who cares what the handle looks like? I will be back to get my knives sharpened and whenever I need new kitchen stuff or a housewarming present!

As a dog groomer, entrusting your blades and scissors ($$$$) to a sharpener is a bit dodgy at the…read morebest of times. Sometimes they are working good as new, sometimes they are sharpened incorrectly and are a total loss. Rick is the only person in the area I trust with my scissors. We recently had our kitchen stuff sharpened too, so I got a chance to see the whole process. My stuff was sharpened to perfection, and I took the knives home and said nothing to my husband to see if he could notice the difference. He commented how the butcher knife (the first one he used and one we rarely touch) was so much sharper than the others. I told him I'd gotten them sharpened, and he was so impressed he wants them done on the regular now. Rick was super polite about me having to cancel our first appointment, and kept me updated on where he would be since I was going to an appointment he'd already had scheduled. He got my stuff done quickly. I noticed no rudeness, and of course since I was coming to him, no lateness. Call Rick and give him a try. You won't be disappointed.

Wow! Thank you--so much!--Edge of the Wedge. For potential customers: We dropped off (so…read moreconveniently via an outdoor locker system) an exceedingly dull Wusthof bread knife at Edge of the Wedge expecting it to be a might bit better once sharpened, given the difficulty sharpening serrated knife edges. But Edge of the Wedge was able to turn those serrations into an amazing cutting blade for our crusty sourdough breads. Actually, we have a sense that the serrations are even sharper than the original knife's! We appreciate Edge of the Wedge's thoughtful messaging and prompt service... all at a reasonable price. We will be back. And we suggest this clearly is the go-to in the Seattle for those of you needing your quality knives sharpened with care and precision.

Today I called them to get guidance on the correct type of gasoline to use. The service manager took the time to help me locate the right service station. Truly helpful.

After checking with Sumner I was directed to the exactly right vendor, with the exactly right fuel. Another example of the friendly and knowledgeable service you get from this business. FIVE STARS!
