    Good as new!!!!

    Don't buy new knives, go to Well Sharpened! I didn't realize knives needed to be sharpened or perhaps it's because I've never really cooked until recently.... My knives felt dull, serrated from all the chips, and lifeless. I thought these knives were unsalvageable for sure... Phil to the rescue, he did a magical job and the knives were reborn as if they just came out of the boxes brand new. Amazing job, amazing communication, and amazing price. What more can you ask haha. Will definitely be going back :)

    Knives were returned in a neatly packed presentation.

    Made my knives laser sharp. Pretty much surgical. I had a high quality chef's knife that I had beat to heck. There were deep blemishes, several of them, and I was about to throw it away. I brought it to well sharpened, and it's better than brand new. Big thank you to Phil!

    The four shears that Phil beautifully sharpened, polished, AND corrected!!!

    Phil is one of the best businessman and shear sharpener I've ever gotten to work with. He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, personable. I dropped one of my shears, and needed to sharpened three others that I have stopped using in the past four years because they were very dull. Phil did more than just "sharpen" them. He changed a rusty bolt and fixed a few issues with the shears. We chatted a little and I learned so much about the shears that I have been using for the past years without knowing how valuable they are. He also sells hair cutting shears so if you need to purchase some or just general research, reach out to him. I trust his respectfulness and integrity. The price was also reasonable on top of everything else. I HIGHLY recommend Phil for any sharpening needs and personally will introduce him to all my hairstylist and salon owner friends. Thank you, Phil!

    The damage, couple chips from a manual sharpener my dad used..

    Had three shun knives that were chipped and needed repair. Phil responded very quickly and provided me with his pricing via email (about $43 bucks for three knives sharpening + repair). Delivered my knives to his home and he finished the knives within 2 days. Phil is very knowledgeable and his work is impressive. Well Sharpened is now a business I'll recommend to close friends. Thank you Phil for restoring my knives! They feel brand new!!

    Knives returned wrapped safely and with a band-aid to remind you how sharp they are.

    Been wanting to get my knives sharpened and found Well Sharpened on yelp. Phil got back to my email quickly on pricing and protocols. Switched over to text and also really responsive that way as well. I scheduled a time to drop off my 4 kitchen knives. I dropped them off in the morning and they were done the same day. Since scheduling didn't work out, I picked them up the next morning. He laid out all the knives on cardboard and tied up with twist ties to keep everything in place. He also has a sense of humor by giving you a band-aid just to remind you how sharp the knives are. He sanitizes everything before giving it back to you. I gave em a quick wash and tested out my chef's knife with a tomato. I was able to cut a thin slice without holding into the tomato. Super sharp and very pleased with the work.

    The "finished product!"

    Please support our small, local businesses!! Thanks to Yelp!, Well Sharpened was an awesome find! We just picked up our newly-sharpened knives and scissors and were pleased with the results so far. Great communication, prompt service, low key, and pleasant to work with, as well. The photo shows how we got them back. Will be back, for sure!

    Heard about Well Sharpened - a business which specializes in Shear Sharpening but also sharpens Fine Cutlery and Knives as well! Met the owner who couldn't be more customer service oriented. He not only did a pristine job in sharpening our knives but he also sharpened them better than they had been when they were brand new from the manufacturer due to the one on one personal attention and care. The person who cuts my hair also uses Well Sharpened for their Salon. Prices are comparable to the norm but services are OUTSTANDING!! Would definitely return & strongly recommend!!!

    Love the Band-aid gift to remind you that your knife is super sharp

    First time and not our last. Phil is an amazing human and sharpening our 22 knives in just over 24 hours, which is unheard of.
