I had a couple of kitchen knives that needed sharpening, one a high-end knife and the other a cheap one. The owner, an elderly gentleman who gave off an aura of a supreme master of knives, carefully examined each knife and said he could sharpen both. I paid the fee and was told they would be ready in a couple days. Four days later I called and was told the knives were ready for pick up. Both were sharpened nicely, like new. The cheap knife, which originally had some damage to the blade, was repaired and looked like the day it was bought 20 years ago. We are happy to have both of these knives back in our kitchen, ready to slice away. While I was there, I asked if they had any kitchen scissors and I was shown a couple of options. The differences between them were explained so I could make the best choice. I bought a pair and have been very happy with them!

Our friend also brought his knives for sharpening. She set up on our driveway as we got acquainted. It's clear that Red values relationships as she shared her background and inquired about ours.

She has numerous grinders and accessories to sharpen knives, scissors, garden pruners, etc. She skillfully uses the equipment like a virtuoso making beautiful music. She's a master. I also appreciated her willingness to share her knowledge in helping us understand the sharpening process and how to maintain the edge on our knives. I highly recommend Red's services!

He arranged a drop-off time and place and managed to get my knives back to me in less than a day.

The cost was even less than expected! I would not hesitate to use this service again and urge you to do the same!

I just don't understand why their customer service couldn't respond to my inquiries telling me that they were backed up. That would have alleviated a lot of anxiety for myself and the many others who were in the same situation. Five stars for the quality, one star for customer service. I paid about $60 for the 4 knives plus I got one free serrated knife. I think that is a fair deal.
