I haven't sharpened my knives, ever. This is probably a common occurrence for the average person…read more But when you think of how often you use your knives in everyday cooking, they really do deserve a good sharpening every so often. I brought two of my workhorse knives in (kitchen knives I use on the daily), as well as my kitchen scissors. I was greeted warmly and with friendly service. Even better, they do it all same day! I was able to return just a couple hours later to my VERY sharp knives and scissors. Two long blade knives ($10 ea) and scissors ($9) are ultra sharp now. Highly recommended!

I had to add a third review in response to the owner's response to my second review, which I wrote…read moreafter they tarnished my knives. First, They claimed they haven't offered the knife special of $30 for fives knives in over 15 years- except my first review of them was written in 2013, and I took my knives there a few times after that. I always got the special which might have gone up to $35. So that is a lie on their part. The price has increased significantly in only a couple years. Again, the price is one thing, and I wouldn't have complained if they hadn't tarnished my knives. My knives were all tarnished as shown in the photo and their response implies that it was somehow my fault? That they would "never" have done that but if I still don't believe them they will polish them for free? What kind of a response is that? That is how the knives looked when I got them back. How would I do that to the knives myself? I hand wash them. I don't hold them over open flames. All my other knives are fine. I'm sorry I love supporting local businesses but this is just terrible.

This is where I get my kitchen knives sharpened…read more Don't let the location and the facade of the store fool you, they can service household knives. They look like they cater to industiral type businesses only. Located in an industrial part of town, this store services mainly knives, and saws for commercial or heavy industrial applications, but yes, they can sharpen a kitchen knife! The inside of the store looks and smells like a mechanics garage - smells of petroleum products. Definitely not a fancy knife retailer you would find in a shopping mall. They were able to sharpen and fix a small incurvation in the heel of my 8" knife and when I got it back it was wrapped in newspaper. A no frills business indeed, but wow, was my knife ever sharp! The cost will depend on the length of the knife and/or whether it is serrated or not.

If you are into kitchenware, cooking and baking, entertaining, or serviceware, or if you are in need of a hostess or housewarming gift, be forewarned. You will find what you need (or want) here, and you will probably pay top dollar for it. And you will do so gladly. They have mainstream kitchen gadgets along with very precise and specific baking and cooking tools, along with fabulous Asian ceramic bowls and dishes and chopsticks and more. Ramekins in every color? Check. Contemporary placemats? Check. Pots and cutlery and kitchen scales and kitchen gadgets that I don't even know what they do but they look cool so I feel is definitely should get them? Check, check and CHECK! They carry a lot of OXO merchandise (I always liked the ergonomic nature of this brand's products, and they last a long time), and yes, some of these items are available at HomeSense at half the price. But they also have here obscure kitchen tools you can't find elsewhere. If you are seriously into cooking or baking, I'm sure you'd find what you need here. Some items are overpriced. I purchased two Swedish dishcloths here for $5.95 each. (They come in a ton of patterns and colors here, which is fun!). But I know these are inexpensive, and on my last trip to Bellingham, I got a set of three of them for $8. So they are quite pricey at this store. And I've seen some of their more common items for sale elsewhere at half the price they were selling for here. However, there were quite a few deals to be found at this store, too. They have lots of high quality tapered candles in different colors, only 99 cents each here. And they've lots of white ceramic dishware and serving pieces at extremely reasonable prices. If you search this store, you will find bargains. I have to add that the young ladies who work here are all super friendly and helpful, too.

I wouldn't suggest someone using this company judging by how rude the owner was on the phone.
