You can't beat his enthusiasm, answering any and every question we had- even offering advice on future knife set purchases- and he's a charming conversationalist to boot. Would highly recommend his business to anyone in need of quality knife maintenance! Thank you John! better phone # for texting: 571-639-5162.

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.

Most were in good shape, except for the aforementioned knife. Years of abuse had left it wth a dinged blade and the rosewood handle was falling apart. Kevin quickly sharpened the rest my knives and then we spoke about "the problem knife". Luckily I have known Kevin for a long time so I just said, "it's a gift from my Dad, so use your craftsmanship and artistry and call me when it's ready". 15 degree edge or 20? He can handle it! He doesn't charge enough! See my beautiful knives, including the fully repaired heirloom with a perfectly balanced replaced handle.

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 would cause the blade to pull and tear the grass instead of making a clean cut. I was very disappointed and asked if he used a 30 degree angle for the grinder, he acted annoyed and said 37 and half degrees! I figured it was useless talking to this guy as he was the master of his universe! It was obvious they don't use professional table mounted Sharpener because the edge was not uniform. It's really disheartening because I had high hopes for this place.

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.
