    Don was great. Super responsive for scheduling. I dropped off a few kitchen knives and some chisels with him. Razor sharp!

    Found this guy online with great Google reviews but mediocre Yelp reviews. Believe the Google…read moreReviews! Michael was very responsive, gave me same-day service at no extra charge, and even picked up and dropped off my knives for an extra $20! My dull knives were sharper than they've ever been in less than a day for a lot less money than I would have spent shipping them off. Michael does the work himself and took time to explain the different sharpening methods he would use based on the steel composition and degree of my blades. He's highly professional, considerate, and fairly priced. It's unusual to find someone that takes such great care. Do yourself and your kitchen a favor and give Michael a call!

    I first found Seriously Fast Sharpening on Yelp, before seeing they had a website with a contact…read morenumber. I texted them what I needed and if they had same-day appointments, which I was able to schedule within the hour much to my delight. They sent me their prices and confirmed how much I would be charged. They shared with me their address and drop off location as there's no where to wait. I drove to a local coffee shop nearby to wait. From drop-off to when I received their text to say they were finished took about 30 min. Pretty darn fast. They sent me payment details and reconfirmed how much I owed. I drove back, picked up my hatchet, Venmo'd them, and that was it. I'm glad that they're located in north Austin and not too far of a drive from where I live. I took off two stars due to quality concerns. Although the edge of the blade is sharp, they didn't sharpen the edge into a convex edge or at least ask if they should sharpen the edge that way. My axe had never been sharpened before but a convex edge would have been most appropriate for my use case. They also didn't sharpen the entire blade. From my pictures, you can see that they missed the top corner of the blade (rounded). You can also tell that the edge isn't centered. The axe was bought this way, but I expected Seriously Fast Sharpening to center it or at least make mention of it. All in all, a 3-star experience. I appreciated their promptness and quick communication, but I expected more in terms of craftsmanship quality. I may try them again for some smaller blades in the future.

    We've lived in Texas for several years and this was one of the most fun things we have ever done!…read moreIt was my oldest bday and she loves knives. We walked in and they had a cancellation. Jay was absolutely amazing and so patient. Her knife took about 2 hrs to make and we had such a great time it felt like 20 minutes. He had great stories and kept us engaged. He communicated clearly with rules, expectations, and what each step was that she had to work on next. He had us laughing so much. Vic was another brother that was great. He kept my youngest, 9 yr old, engaged and had her complete attention. He was patient and helped her stand correctly and how to hold the hammer. And he had to repeat himself many times but never lost patience with her. He showed us how to make different nail swords and let her help too. This is a family business and honestly it is a must for any visitors, tourist, or even Texans that never see what's around them (like us!). I totally recommend bringing your family or friends. We won't regret it and you'll go home with a unique gift that you made yourself.

    My dad and I thought this would be a fun to do together so we reached out to book and they never…read moregot back to us. I called in the morning and asked if they had any openings at 4 and the guy on the phone was kinda rude and said technically yes but I was gonna close early but I guess I can fit you in. I was super thankful and excited but when we showed up I was shocked by the unprofessional, vulgar and unsafe behavior of the worker. He sat off to the side making his own bracelet and gave us almost no guidance and didn't help or check on us. He told us to do whatever the F we wanted and he didn't care. Halfway through he informed us he was an "idiot" because he didn't have us sign the safety waiver! Honestly we had fun but it was extremely uncomfortable and we just kinda had to figure out what to do and listen to him tell uncomfortable stories and cuss up a storm. We also never got his name but he was a younger man in his 20s.

    10/10 would recommend! What a fantastic experience. I literally started with block of metal and…read morewas walked through the entire process of forging a knife by hand. I was given enough steel to build pretty much whatever I wanted and got to pick whatever kind of material I wanted to use on the handle. As long as I picked a design I could finish in the 2 days I spent there, Chad was there to help me build what I wanted to build. Not only that, but this ends up a legit, strong, properly heat treated knife. He had me drop my knife tip first into cement, and then smash it into a concrete block multiple times to test the heat treating process... No real damage... try doing that with your store bought knife! He provided all the drinks and food for us all while we were there, and he didn't cheap out. He got really good food from restaurants in the area. We also had full access to his pool and hot tub, which was a welcome way to cool down after a day standing in front of a forge. Not only did I build a super cool knife, but the Caylor family welcomed me into their home and I immediately felt like I was a part of their family. The money you spend here goes straight to funding their non-profit, Reforged, which helps military and first responders that are suffering from PTSD. So not only do you get an awesome experience, but the money you are spending goes toward a good cause. For real though, this place is amazing. I'll be back.

    From the owner: Come forge with us and make a memory to last a lifetime. Make your own souvenir, knife, or…read morebracelet.
