Matt is the knife whisperer. I had a couple of problematic blades that I had been putting off doing…read moreanything about for some time. One was a Vietnam war era combat dagger. The Gerber Mark 2 was a thing of beauty when I first acquired it years ago. But my sons had ruined the blade doing what teenagers do when they get into things that don't belong to them. I thought the blade was a goner, but held out hope that someone might be able to restore it. The other one was a cleaver I had purchased thinking it would have the same functionality as a chef's knife only to find out that the edge profile was more suited to chopping firewood. Matt worked some magic. I wish I had taken a "before" picture of the dagger so you could appreciate the extent of the damage he had to address. The "after" picture (see below) was truly remarkable. It was literally like nothing had ever happened to the blade. As for the Wüsthof cleaver, Matt reshaped the edge profile so that it more nearly resembled a wicked sharp Asian cleaver. Just what I was after. Fabulous work. Matt didn't just sharpen my knives. He completely reshaped their blades AND sharpened them. Highly recommended.

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.
