I bake bread every week for my husband's lunch and of course he likes artisan bread. Slicing it is…read morequite a chore especially getting the slices uniform so I bought a bread slicer about nine months ago. It's the manual table top type with the round blade. It was beginning to get dull and the slices were sticking in the blade at the end, so it was ripping them. I contacted Mark for sharpening and he quoted me about $10 which I thought was a real bargain as I thought I was going to have to buy a new slicer. I drove out to his place the following day in the early morning and he greeted me at his garage with a kind smile. He dismantled my slicer and said I could wait. It took him a bit longer than he expected because this man is a perfectionist, and he was doing an excellent job! Watching a professional sharpen something like this is a real treat, and his fearlessness with sharp objects was quite impressive. I know he does gun shows and sharpens peoples pocket knives, etc., during those. If you ever need anything sharpened, I highly recommend his services! Also, he's a cool down to earth person.

Who better to put a sharp edge on your knives than someone who actually makes knives!…read moreI had a few of my kitchen knives sharpened here and they turned out great. Sharpening service is hard to find in the area so I was very happy to find "The Forge." Crafting knives is a second job or past time, so there is no store front to visit. Just call ahead and arrange to drop off your knives. They are just a bit off the beaten path, but it is a pleasant drive (out to the Delphi Golf Course area). And, the price is reasonable.

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.
