If you need your scissors done you'll need to leave them with him, but otherwise bring your knives and they will be "sharpening while you shop"! Had my knives and my father's knives done by them and it's wonderful to work with a knife that actually cuts instead of slips off everything Here's a safety tip, pack all your knives into an padded oven mitt and throw a rubber band around it to transport. I also brought him the bladed cup off my Nutribullet, he said he could do it. Just went through my potting shed and bringing in my pruner and garden shears Saturday!

Most knife sharpening services send their knives to this place, it's why you usually leave them and…read morepick up a couple of days later. I procrastinate about keeping knives sharp... it's a pain to find a place and get your knives back same day! So here I go, trekking to Oswego to the source. Buried in behind dense overgrown foliage and operating out of a garage crammed to the rafters with the tools of his trade is TOM! If for no other reason than to meet an unforgettable person AND save money it's worth the trip. Call in advance to make sure he didn't bag it and take the day off. It's easy to find the street but easier to drive past the house, shrouded in weeds, foliage, junk with an old white pick up in the driveway. Tom is a retired blacksmith not to be confused with a ferrier (who shoes horses). I got a quick lesson in using and caring for my knives and learned that walnut handles are the best because they are microbial retardant!. Thank God I had cash, had 7 knives sharpened for $20! I was very pleased even though Tom wasn't exercising any COVID conventions which is the only reason he gets one less star! Great job! Check him out!

After sending pictures and explaining the repair over email, we set-up time to talk over the phone. DNP never called me. I followed up and, after a long delay, they were asking me to bring the item to the shop, having never discussed the details. I reached out again, ~6 months later, asking about a field repair. Debbie emailed me asking for my address and that was it, no further communication. I went somewhere else and it was repaired in 3 days.

This kind of quick response time continued throughout our project with them. We now have two floors of bayed addition and columns finished in black zinc, and it is gorgeous. People walking by on the street stop us to complement the back of our house which also faces a street. During the construction the workmen were professional, considerate and always on time. If there were any questions or unexpected findings, they would always consult us. The project was not cheap, but it was fair (in comparison to other quotes we received), and we truly could not be happier. My husband and I (and our architect) highly recommend Salvo.
