My ex met Albert at a business networking meeting, and I unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet him prior to him sharpening one of our Henckels. Holy. Moses. I've never seen such an amazing job before, and I've been using knives and sharp implements all my life. I own many knives, some are the $10 bargain-bucket throwaways up to customs and higher-end knives on the upwards of $250+. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't utilize one of my blades whether it be at work, at home doing yardwork or renovation projects, etc. I need my knives to work and work well. Albert's sharpening skills have surpassed any and all of my expectations, and he spent a great deal of attention on all of my blades. He's even gone so far as to completely redo my old Boy Scout knife from my childhood, which has been lovingly restored. I don't post on yelp too often, rather, only when I'm seriously impressed or moved by exceptional quality or customer service. Albert offers both. I trust him with all of my knives, and the vast majority of my co-workers are lining up to get their blades taken care of as well. You will not be disappointed in his product. The quality is unsurpassed, and the prices...quite frankly...are WAY underbid. Get in with Albert now before he becomes too hot a commodity. read more

I am impressed with Albert's work. I sent in three knifes. One was an antique cleaver we wanted to start using and it came back with an edge you wouldn't believe. Another was an old Gerber that I had used and abused in the Military. I had it re profiled, tip repaired, and sharpened. The last blade got a basic sharpening. All the work is top notch and I think I could shave with any of the blades he has done. I live on the East Coast but will be sending my knifes to Albert to work on. I would and will recommend Seattle Edge from now on! Side Note: I make knifes as a hobby but have yet to master sharpening skills. Well, I can sharpen but not that well. Albert is a true craftsmen at what he does. I hope that one day I will get my skills as good as his. read more

Albert is absolutely outstanding! I really can't say enough good things about him given my recent experience! I was trying to find someone who could teach me how to properly sharpen a blade, and it didn't matter what blade it was! Not only is he very proficient in his craft, but he truly goes above and beyond to take care of you. I was pleasantly surprised to get a solo class from him, and not only did I get all the one-on-one time I needed to learn, he even treated me to lunch! You'd have to be crazy not to go to Albert for any knife sharpening you need! read more

I discovered Albert's Seattle Edge shop through a simple web search; he is nearby and I stopped in with a pocket knife that was in dire need of sharpening. I found Albert to be very friendly, personable, and professional; I could tell he has a deep knowledge of & passion for knife sharpening. Stopping by the next day to pick up the knife, Albert handed me back the knife with a now very sharp blade, and charged a modest fee. It was a pleasure doing business with this expert craftsman, who obviously delights in his work. read more

There's no other knife-sharpening establishment that can touch this place. For around $50 my entire run-o'-the-mill Wusthof set was transformed into professional-quality blades. I got my knives back from Albert and they were (literally) scary-sharp. After I got home and finished preparing my dinner I was looking for excuses to cut things up with my newly-honed knives. The work is truly incredible and the rates are very competitive. I'll never think about bringing my knives anywhere else. read more

My favorite knife shop to go to. Albert is very knowledgeable about knife care and the specific knife for your situation. Perfect place for an in home cook or a chef. You can get all you need. I got the Mercer Culinary 7" santoku and 5" utility and love them amazing knifes to have in the kitchen! read more

Somehow Albert made our stash of well worn and neglected knives look new. Cooking had a new tenor afterwards. So much better with sharpened knives. This is undoubtedly the most attentive and skilled knife sharpener in the area. You don't need to look any further than here. read more

Albert was great. He made my knives as sharp as they've ever been, and told me what my bad habits were. I realized he was right as soon as I started using them and continued cutting in the exact same spot. Highly recommended. read more

He has not lost his edge :) Knives sharpened to perfection, once again!

Amazing attention to detail and a solid human being..
