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.

He told me they would be done in 15-20 minutes so I ran next door to grab some lunch. When I returned, they were ready to go. He explained what he did, addressed a few minor concerns about how I am storing my knives, and packaged them up to go. These knives are so sharp, it's kind of crazy. I am beyond happy with my experience and will be back the moment my knives need some attention. If you have knives that need sharpening go here. You won't be disappointed.

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!

I just don't understand why their customer service couldn't respond to my inquiries telling me that they were backed up. That would have alleviated a lot of anxiety for myself and the many others who were in the same situation. Five stars for the quality, one star for customer service. I paid about $60 for the 4 knives plus I got one free serrated knife. I think that is a fair deal.

Unfortunately, I always had issues afterward, so it was really frustrating and difficult. I was lucky enough to find Nathan and decided to give him a try. He did an amazing job--everything came back looking and working like brand new, with absolutely no issues. While my tools were being sharpened, he even lent me a pair of scissors and a blade for free so I could continue working. The price was also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the work and service. I'm truly amazed by your skill and customer service. I'm extremely satisfied and will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!

I had a chance to speak to Mike over the phone before I had them sharpened. Basically this company deals in bulk and the prices drop per knife the more that the customer sharpens. We had about 20 knives to sharpen and they ended up being about 7 dollars a knife when it was all said and done. The part that was pretty cool is that they send you an empty box directly to your house. It comes with a shipping label and some packaging material. After the knives were shipped back I got a phone call personally from Mike confirming that everything was perfect on my order. I cannot even begin to describe how sharp these knives were. Don't think I could have been any happier. Warning: These knives are sharp!

I had a great experience with Schmidt's knifes. To start with, the service itself was beyond…read moresatisfactory. The sharpening Mike provided for my felling axe was immaculate. With such a hunk of dull steel, he sharpened it sharp enough to shave hair yet allowed the blade to retain enough strength. He really understands how to shape a blade and how to properly deal with steel. I have not brought in knives yet, but from his work on my axe, I'm positive they can make them perfect. Now on the business side, Schmidt's is really that perfect small business that has the time and vision to care about providing quality as opposed to just meeting a profit margin goal. First of all, they obviously specialized in knives, but were flexible enough to let me meet them at their workshop to sharpen my axe and were very considerate about not wasting my time. Not only that, but Mike drove quite a few miles to meet me and sharpen my axe for next to nothing. He even offered me a tour of their workplace and showed me how they work and gave me advice for how to maintain my tools. Bottomline: They obviously are not in the business just to make money. It's refreshing to work with people that take pride in what they do.
