They asked us what we like to cook, what we already have, and what would be the most useful for us. After they made a few suggestions, we picked what we liked best. When we left, we felt very confident in our purchase decision. We ended up with a knife for chopping veggies, one for doing a bit of finer work (ahem, removing skin from a peach for my 9 month old), and a bread knife (seriously, I didn't realize you don't need to smoosh bread every time you slice it). It is such a joy to have these new tools in our kitchen! We've also had a few of our knives sharpened -- I would highly recommend Strata for this service. It's not worth using dull knives!!

After years of smashing tomatoes with my dull knifes, I decided I'd had enough…read more I could have spent hundreds of dollars on a new knife set but instead found Knifing Around. I thought I would be without my knifes for a few days but was very happy to find out I would get them back the same day (in fact In just 2 hours for my 6 knifes) Now I have the sharpest knifes I've ever seen. The owner was really nice and was happy to answer all my questions about how to use them safely and even thought me how to properly hold them to cut things, he even has a really well made cleaning and maintenance handout that I'm posting to my fridge. I highly recommend using Knifing Around and will see him again once I can't cut tomatoes.

The blade now cuts even better than when I first purchased it brand new. I discovered him on YouTube when I was desperately seeking out a solution to sharpen my dull blade. As we all know, brand new blades are never sharp enough. After reaching out to him via email and sending my blade, he quickly repaired it and returned it to me within just four days. The edge of the blade is now in SUPER EXCELLENT condition, and I am thoroughly impressed by the professional work that he did. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of blade sharpening.

Have you ever tried to cook and noticed that one of your knives was duller than your worst first…read moredate? Then get that thing sharpened immediately! Dull knives are a safety hazard. I was trying to break down a whole chicken and noticed it took a considerable amount of effort to do so. It was time to have a professional take care of my knives. New England Sharpening Inc was a bit difficult to find at first as I turned too soon. Once I found the building, there was hardly any parking! I showed up late but the door was still open so I scurried in and asked the guy behind the desk if he had time for one more knife. He agreed to sharpen my cook's knife and was done in a few minutes. My knife cuts like it was brand new now! Prices were rather reasonable. I paid $3 which is much less than what I was used to paying at my usual spot back in California. In addition to knives, these guys sharpen chain saws, shears, woodworking tools, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous items. I may come back at some point to have my swiss army knives and emergency knives sharpened as well.
