Who better to put a sharp edge on your knives than someone who actually makes knives!…read moreI had a few of my kitchen knives sharpened here and they turned out great. Sharpening service is hard to find in the area so I was very happy to find "The Forge." Crafting knives is a second job or past time, so there is no store front to visit. Just call ahead and arrange to drop off your knives. They are just a bit off the beaten path, but it is a pleasant drive (out to the Delphi Golf Course area). And, the price is reasonable.

I went here about a year ago to see if they might be interested in making a custom tsuba for my…read morekatana. The smith was a total jerk and seemed to not know the term "tsuba," either, even though he was determined to make me feel the idiot. In spite of all this I purchased a shiny axe with a dark oak handle from them, in part because I wanted to support a local business and in part because it seemed balanced and looked nice. It was not cheap. Now one year later I see that the chrome plating now has some black spots that will not rub out, even though it has been sitting in my bedroom the whole time and I have not used it to cut anything. A quick google search finds that: "This problem of black spots which you are facing seems related to base material defect which you might have failed to notice during pre cleaning stage and the same is appearing over a period of time once plating is completed." In summary- this blade smith sucks.

I got several knives sharpened here and am 100% satisfied with the outcome! Not only did they give…read moreme a discount for multiples knives, but they were ready earlier than expected. I didn't even know there was a discount until they rung me up and told me. One of my bigger knives is so sharp that the weight of the knife literally cut through onions and bell peppers when I was dicing them. They also offered to stay open later just for me because my work schedule didn't allow me to get there before five the week they were ready. Then they graciously offered to hold onto them for as long as I needed. I will definitely be using them in the future and will be sure to plan a little extra time to shop around. They have darling selection of kitchen/cooking accessories and spices and jams, too!

I have driven past Tacoma Knife Sharpner practically everyday while on my way to work. But it was…read morejust a few weekends ago when I finally made a stop in here. Steve and I were quite impressed with the various knife selections for all of your kitchen needs. Very cool! We definitely have a place to keep in mind when we need to upgrade our knives for cooking. In additional to that there are seasonal spices and such here. There is quite a selection of local hot sauces from a brand I haven't seen before... so we will keep that in our minds for future reference also when our hot sauce stash needs to be replenished.
