The Point Knife and Tool Sharpening - Knives I brought to John

The Point Knife and Tool Sharpening

(41 reviews)

The knives are sharp now and it only took a day from drop off to pick up for the job to be done…read more Good prices as well. 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. Also for the sake of accuracy the refund he mentions in his reply took 5 hours not 1. Not a huge deal.

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.

White Flint Creations - Time to create the curls in the metal

Gone are the days of the nineties where fun nights out were limited to roller rinks and bowling…read morealleys. Whilst I don't have strong objections to either of those activities, variety is the spice of life right? Lesser known is the saying, "Standing in front of a 2000 degree forge is also in fact the spice of life." But I assure you, that's one spicy tamale. Located off of Parklawn Dr., White Flint Creations hosts small Blacksmithing workshops in a converted industrial garage bay. The night I went, I was one of eight amateur Smiths who learned how to harness the almighty power of the forge, anvil, and hammer. The appreciation of the Smiths surely runs deep now. "Take me out [to White Flint Creations] tonight" #Anyone? During the class period of around two and a half hours, Smithing expert Drew led our guild in making bottle openers out of thin square rods and rebar. We had a choice of using either canvas with Drew explaining that rebar would be a bit more difficult to shape, and me expeditiously grabbing a square rod to start my journey. Drew was an expert teacher. Both guiding us when he saw us faltering or requesting aid, but giving us a serious amount of autonomy to learn and grow. I had such a fantastic time during the course. Safety was observed, emphasized, and overseen. You might be asking yourself, what is the going rate of a night of blacksmithing at your local forge? Quite surprisingly, I only ended up paying $40 dollars for the class. So it was both unique, affordable, and quite fun. Caveat: the cost does depend on the size of the class so prices may vary. I can't wait to take my next blacksmithing course most honestly. It was challenging, fun, rewarding, and relaxing all at once. Drew plays music while you're all working on your project, and the garage doors are open to allow the massive heat created by the furnaces to escape - so it's quite a perfect little activity on a nice night.

This is an awesome woodshop! The co-founders, Brendan and Richard, built this as a community…read moreresource for woodworkers to express their creativity and learn from one another.

my grooming salon had this business come out to sharpen our shears & blades. we had an appointment…read morefor 9am, & they showed up half an hour late. we had about 30 blades and 10 shears to be sharpened, and he was done within 2 hours. when bringing back our equipment, he was showing how the shears were supposed to be smooth and cut well, but they were clearly catching and not cutting right. after an awkward silence, he took the shears back to his van to fix them, even though he should have tested them after sharpening in the first place. the blades that were worked on came back dirtier than they had left. the shears that had been sharpened were not cutting any hair at all, and they were damaged at the tips and not working correctly. my salon had somebody else come in to fix the mistakes, but most of the blades were already too damaged to repair. we eventually got into contact with robb's edge express (after leaving multiple voicemails and sending emails), asking for a reimbursement for our damaged tools, only to be yelled at. they claimed we were trying to scam them, saying that our equipment was "already damaged." he ruined a pair of $300 kenchii shears. eventually they agreed to send a check for half of the bill we paid. after about a month we received the checks, which we will be using to buy new blades. do NOT take your equipment here to be sharpened or support this business.

Robb came to our house on a dreary day and sharpened kitchen knives, garden tools, and grooming…read moreshears. He did a GREAT JOB at a REASONABLE price! We were extremely happy with the results! My husband and I highly recommend this business.
