One day later, I was slicing like an Itamae and found myself cutting every piece of citrus in my kitchen out of the sheer joy of it. No more smushing or sawing through food. If you haven't had your kitchen knives professionally sharpened, you don't know what you're missing. The cost was reasonable, the turnaround was lightning fast, the results were mind-blowing, and they are super knowledgeable and truly friendly people. What more can you ask for? Love 'em!

My mother (a culinary trained chef) is coming in town for the holidays so I knew I needed to have my kitchen in order. Patti and Walter responded to our request so quickly and offered services the very next day. I dropped off my knives in the morning and had them back in the afternoon. They are very very very sharp and sliced through dinner like they were brand spanking new. Thank you and we will most certainly use you again in the future.

We arranged a date, and he brought his van to my neighborhood for a Knife and Tool Party. I'm still getting thank-you notes from my grateful neighbors. He takes your knives, and texts you when they're done. My high-carbon Sabatier and Henckel knives are beautifully sharp, as is my lawnmower. We'll be calling him back every year, I think. If you've got a place for him to park his van, I encourage you to have a sharpening party in your neighborhood. Bobby's a super professional and friendly guy, and his wife is beyond sweet. They're a good team, and they do good work.

I booked an appointment with Scott/A cut above and the windows/times were very flexible. It was nice to have very specific directions for drop off/pick up. There was a bit of an issue in terms of the timeline and communication at first as my knife took longer than expected however, it was resolved and I would say customer service was great and I feel confident that I will recommend him and his work after picking up my knife last week. For context, it's the first chefs knife that I ever made so she's not sleek with machinery-grade perfection and I had the knife in storage for a while when I was travelling and also moving so there was quite a bit of wear, tear, and rust.

My husband and I had a couple of expensive knives that we had purchased many years ago as well as a couple of other "not so expensive" knives that were all in dire need of sharpening. After looking on the internet, I came across this place and without even checking out their webpage, I called and set up a time to drop off our knives. Turns out, this is the one-man operation of a college student at the University of Arizona who took up cooking and learning how to sharpen utensils during Covid. Anyway - his name is Nick and besides being such a nice human-being, he was able to get our knives sharpened in one day and even brought them out to my car when I went by to pick them up. As far as his charges go - they seemed extremely reasonable to me but since I've never had any knives sharpened before I don't know how his rates compare to others. Regarding the quality of his work - both my husband and I are very happy with it. All the knives are so much sharper and are cutting things so much easier and better now. Why we hadn't had them sharpened before now - I'm not sure of the reason other than their becoming dull doesn't happen over night. To sum up, both my husband and I strongly recommend the services of Nick of Cut Above - Knife and Tool Sharpening.
