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.

Recently, however, I moved out of the hood and into Kits, which opened up a whole new can of local shops and businesses for me to explore. There are some Dunbar entrepreneurs, however, that will forever have my heart -- and my business. One of these is Gold Star Show Rebuilders. Forget diamonds. Shoes are THIS woman's best friend. Which means I have A LOT of footwear, and like to take care of it. Gold Star is one of those reliable, friendly places you know you can depend on for quality service at a great price. I know this because, when one of my precious pairs is beyond repair, the staff at Gold Star lets me know, rather than pretending my lovelies can be saved.

This is precisely the kind of store that I really should avoid…read more It is dangerous. It is intoxicating. 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.

It is really convenient to have his services downtown on Thursdays at Yaletown because you can do your shopping for that buttery smoked tuna and some delicious local artichokes while Mr. Sharp makes your future kitchen experiences a pleasure. You will have no trouble at all making perfect slices from those glorious local tomatoes you bought. It does require a pinch of planning though because most of us don't traverse the city with our knives in our tote bags. The prices are very reasonable at $5 or $6 for average length blades. But he also does special knives like those for carving turkeys. It is great to have his expert services! Be careful when you get home though- as the name says.....
