I called and spoke to Lori to schedule dropping off our knives. They were very flexible with scheduling and had no problem turning our knives around quickly. We dropped off the knives at their home workshop in the morning. I received a phone call a couple of hours later to let me know they were done and the price. I stopped by and picked up the knives. Over the following few days we ended up doing a lot of cooking and all of the knives we used were possibly even sharper than when they were new! It is much more fun, productive and safe to cut with sharp knives and all of the knives were great. I wouldn't hesitate to use their service again.
Description of Work: We had 10 kitchen knives of various sizes and types sharpened.
