    You never remember you need to get a knife sharpened until you hear the afilador serenading you with the sounds of vague Ice Cream Truck music! Once you get over your sadness that you won't be having a Rocket Pop, you wished you had that dull knife on you to bring it back to life. Having never been able to coordinate having knife in hand when the Knife Sharpening truck rolls by; I went about looking for a stationary sharpener. Something that's harder to do then one might think in Miami. I found a few but settled on SL Service. I spoke to the owner Louis before I went in. He was nice and polite and explained the process thoroughly. There were no pictures of his work on Yelp, so I wanted to make sure he wasn't going to grind away on my poor knives and leave 1/2 inch of scratches along the blade. I saw some poor craftsmanship by other places, so I was weary. I took 3 knives. The price was super reasonable, and the sharpening was done while I waited. It took no longer than 15 minutes in total. They came out nice and sharp and scratch free! They have since been used to do some heavy duty cutting and are holding their edges just fine so far. So, if you are fighting with your food instead of cutting it you need to drop into SL Service and get those edges done.

    As a dog stylist in Coral Gables, FL (my temporary home), it was critical for me to find a reliable, skilled sharpener and repair shop for the beautiful shears that allow great styling for my customers. SL Service is exactly that trusted partner... the owner is kind and knowledgeable, and recently did me an enormous favor with service while I waited, after I accidentally dropped my Kenchii 7 inch curves right before a scheduled Asian Fusion groom! This business has your back, and they will take the utmost care with your precious tools. Highly recommend!!!

    I need the bolster reduced on one of my chef's blades due to how many times the blade has been sharpened over the years. Can you do a good job fixing the bolster? Also, I have several other knives and some Cutco scissors I'd like to have sharpened.

    Yes, I can grind the bolster to even it up with the blade. Please bring them in to check them up .… Read more

    My wife dropped off our kitchen knives to be sharpened including 2 Henckels, a Shun, a cutco…read morecleaver and more importantly 2 heirloom knives that were my great grandfathers. Apparently the person at the shop explained that the method he uses would cause scratching on the blades. For that transparency I am grateful though I do not understand why a knife sharpening company would continue to use a method that damages knives so drastically. When we picked them up, the knives were sharp, but scratched beyond anything I've ever seen. It looks like a bench grinder was used to sharpen them. I spoke with someone at the shop who explained that all commercial knife sharpening companies do that and that it was normal which I don't believe is true. I have contacted the manufacturers of the knives in order to see if they can be repaired but most likely they and the heirlooms will remain permanently damaged. It was $600 worth of knives not counting the value of the heirlooms and the price for sharpening them was $49. Think twice before bringing valuable knives to be sharpened here. An article I started on a knife sharpening forum about whether this is normal https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/kitchen-knives-damaged-by-commercial-sharpener.1571937/#post-18011883 Alex, I appreciate you writing. The pictures should speak for themselves and give future customers an idea of what they will get when they bring knives to you to be sharpened. The manufacturers would have sharpened them properly for less than you charged so yes I made a mistake not sending these knives in to them. As I said before, I appreciate your transparency with my wife about the scratches. If I had been there I never would have let you do this. The knives are as sharp as i get my machetes with my bench grinder which is to say that yes they are sharp but the edges are no longer straight and I doubt they will stay sharp long. After doing research I discovered different companies use different tools and methods for a similar price. Maybe it's time to look into using a different method? I honestly can't believe you've been doing this to good knives for 50 years.

    First off, I love cooking. I'm a foodie at heart. When I first moved to South Florida 2 years ago,…read moreI found Culinary Convenience on Yelp and was very curious. And it's OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!!!! Not just for chefs. Yayyyyyy. Fast forward to 2021 and I had asked my chef friend for a recommendation on a place to get my Henckels knife set sharpened. He immediately suggested Culinary Convenience and told me to ask for Aaron Michaels who is the owner. Well, this convo was about 6 month ago as I slacked and never made it here. I had to drop someone off to Ft. Lauderdale Airport and was heading to a local coffee shop when I drove by this store and remembered the name and realized it was the chef supply store I've been dying to visit. Funny how things work. It's a cool store with dreamy chef and kitchen toys galore. I swear I took about an hour just strolling through the store taking my sweet time admiring everything. They have EVERYTHING!!! Chef's uniforms, shoes, aprons, bakeware, pots, pans, knives, serving dishes, the small stuff, the big stuff...just EVERYTHING! I asked questions and started talking with Allison. She was very friendly and helpful. I was mesmerized by the Breville Smoking Gun and have been eyeing this for years now. I really want one. The one they had at the store is a professional grade one, not like the one you see at Williams-Sonoma or Sur la Table. She noticed I was curious and asked if I wanted to see a demonstration. Heck yes!!! She showed me step by step how to use it and it was ridiculously cool. Yes, I still want one!!! Ha. I inquired about knife sharpening and got more info on that. I also started looking at the Japanese knives as I've been wanting a really nice Japanese chef's knife too. They had a beautiful selection of gorgeous knives. I've been wanting a Damascus style Japanese knife. Allison helped me by answering all my questions. She pulled out the MIyabi and Kikuichi knives. The Miyabi caught my eye. I love the design and simplicity. It's a sexy AF knife!!! They didn't have the Miyabi chef's knife I wanted but said they were currently on order. A gentleman who noticed I was having a hard time deciding on the knives told me the Miyabi is a wonderful option and introduced himself as Aaron, the owner. I said hi and told him the story of my friend who initially sent me here. Aaron knew exactly who I was talking about. We started chatting about our mutual friend, the hospitality industry, how he started his business and a funny story about his brother. Aaron has a very enthusiastic vibe and energy about him. I love his excitement when he talks about things. He was down to earth and so fun. He even pulled out his phone to take a selfie of us to send to our mutual friend. Funny too because I was thinking about doing the same thing. Haha. Needless to say, I really had a wonderful experience at Culinary Convenience and I may end up spending too much money here. I eventually came back because Allison called me the next day to let me know the knife I wanted arrived after I left the store. I came back a few days later and bought the said beautiful sexy AF Miyabi Japanese knife. And brought my knives in to get sharpened too. I also met Kieran, the store manager, who was also very helpful regarding my knives that needed sharpening. Bottom line, excellent spot for all your kitchen needs. Be careful, you might go browsing and leave with a gorgeous Japanese knife. Haha. It's not a terrible thing either. I'm madly in love with my knife. Huge difference even cutting veggies and herbs. Go check it out ASAP! You won't regret it. Thanks Aaron, Allison and Kieran for the amazing customer service. I need to come back for that Breville Smoking Gun, because everyone needs one of those right?
