Tom was very friendly and professional. He really knows his sharpening trade .

Absolutely perfect. The knives are sharper than I thought was possible. Did them while I waited and educated me about taking better care of my knives and how best to sharpen them myself. I couldn't recommend Tom more highly.

The knives have never been sharper and I got an education about how to keep them sharp. This man is a real craftsman and his prices are reasonable. The last time I had the knives sharpened it cost a lot more and the knives were not all that sharp when I got them back from Excaliber Knives. I will never go to anyone other than Mr. Veff in the future for my sharpening needs.

Tom was easy to find, an expert at his trade and friendly. He explained to me what needed to be done and performed the work while I waited. He checked the shears several times in front of me to see that both pair of shears were cutting well and then fine-tuned his work. The cost was fair and well worth it! My shears work great!

He was a skilled technician and the blades were surgical quality.

no story--highly recommed

,I took six kitchen knives to Tom to have them sharpened and he had time to do this while I waited. As he worked he asked me about my usage habits and corrected me when I was errant. Tom"s prices are a bargain for the quality of his work, I learned a lot from someone who knows and loves his work, and now my knives are SHARP.

Having recently moved into the Portland area I needed a sharpening service. Based on Angie's List reviews, I called Tom at Veff just a few days before Christmas. He was able to see me that day, and after the drive to Oregon City I found his shop with little trouble - but be sure to use a mapping app! He looked over what I had, suggested one of the scissors wasn't of sufficient quality to bother with ("You could buy a new pair of these at Home Depot for less than it costs me to sharpen them.") I told him I wasn't in a hurry for the items, he said he would have them the following Tuesday (6 days). He offered to sharpen one or two of the knives while I waited if I needed them sooner, but I declined. He called first thing Tuesday morning, the items ready. When I picked them up he showed them to me, made sure I was happy with them, gave me some pointers on keeping them sharp and in good shape (no dishwasher for the kitchen knives, oil the pruners) Items were wrapped carefully. Once home and in use the items proved to be extremely sharp. Excellent work, I'll go back when I have more sharpening needs, and recommend Veff unreservedly.

I called Tom in the morning and told Tom what I needed sharpened and when he might be able help me. Tom said he would be out of the office until noon that day and asked that I called back around noon just to make sure he was back in the shop. I called Tom back at noon and Tom said he had returned and to come on over. I arrived at 1pm and meet Tom in his shop. Tom asked if I had a few minutes that he would sharpen my kitchen knifes so I could have them for dinner that evening. I said yes and within 15 mins Tom had completed the sharpening of all four knifes. Tom individually wrapped each knife in plastic and then wrapped the four knifes in paper for my safety. Tom said he would call me the following day and let me know when the garden tools were complete. Tom called me the next morning saying the tools were sharpened and that I could come over anytime. I arrived that afternoon and found Tom in his shop. Tom layedmy tools on the bench for me to inspect and too my amazment the tools looked brand new again. Tom, Thank you for being so perfessional and giving excellent service and quality.

Tom Veff sharpened some garden tools I generally have sharpened every few years. This was the first time I used his business, and I was quite surprised at how extraordinarily sharp he got the tools. On a relative basis, when I picked up these tools from other sharpening businesses, they would be considered 'somewhat dull' compared to the results with Tom Veff. I strongly recommend his sharpening service.

I dropped off our kitchen knives in the AM and he said he'd have them ready for pick up the same day! I was very pleased as we use our knives every day. He had them wrapped up and ready at 2PM that afternoon. He said that they would be sharper than when they were new, and I believe him! They sliced through our tomatoes like butter. I wish we had taken them in a long time ago.

I dropped everything off at his home shop. He called a few days later (earlier than promised) to say everything was done.

He offered to do sharpening while I waited but I didn't need them that quickly as I have a backup set of old knives. Told him I wasn't in a hurry but dropped them off late afternoon on a Tues and he had them done by 9:00 a.m. the next day. Dropped off my gardening tools for sharpening at that time and they took a little longer. Hedge trimmer, lopper and 2 sets of Felco pruners were $30. Great work, good price, nice man. He's a find, especially if you live on the East/South side of town!
