Description of Work: The provider sharpened an older pair of pinking shears. She explained that due yo their age and condition the sharpening would not be perfect. She did a real good job that allowed me to do the project I had planned satisfactorily. Much cheaper solution than buying a new pair that is used only occasionally.

I went to Sharper Than New with 20 kitchen knives (all sizes), not knowing what to expect. Krystina not only did an excellent job with my knives, but she is a delight to work with! She was able to restore my very dull knives to a sharp edge, even the serrated ones. I called, made an appointment, and she exceed my expectations on quality and turnaround time. I was impressed that she spent time with me showing me how to hold the different knives, how to cut with them and how to sharpen them with a honing stick. What fun to have sharp knives again in the kitchen! Would highly recommend her.

Krystina took the time to explain how to use each knife and what a knife was used for (I purchased knives from her as well as having some that I had sharpened). I would definitely recommend her.

{Member name removed}, Thank you for the excellent review of Sharper a Than New. The owner, Krystina try's and if all possible goes out of her way to satisfy customers who need a "rush job" done. Although we NEVER rush while working on a job, we sometimes have to juggle business around to accommodate last minute request. We sincerely appreciate your business and will be in touch!

My knives were returned very sharp, with an excellent edge. I am very happy and satisfied with her work and craftsmanship. Sharper Than New will definitely be handling all of my knife maintenance from now on. And I may be expanding my knife inventory with some of the knives she sells. Kristina is very knowledgeable, personal, caring and charming. She has my highest endorsement. I intend to be a repeat customer.
Description of Work: Kristina sharpened my kitchen knives, including the kitchen shears and a set of steak knives. I don't trust my Wusthof knives to just anyone, but I am very comfortable with Sharper Than New as she is a dealer for Wusthof.
