I couldn't be happier with the quality of sharpening! I dropped my knives off Monday afternoon and…read morethey were ready the next afternoon. Matthew is very skilled at what he does. I dropped off 2 chef's knives, a boning knife and slicing knife. They are like brand new(all are about 20 years old), but better!! My large chef knife had some dents in it from someone misusing it, he was able to straighten the blade back out. I will definitely use Matthew for future sharpening needs.

I've been going to Northwestern Cutlery for years. Over generations of ownership, the service has…read morebeen outstanding. Never anything but the friendliest and most knowledgeable service, especially on the topic of kitchen knives. I dont know if I've ever seen a larger selection of kitchen knives ANYWHERE. We had our knives sharpened again this week, and once again, they were done beautifully at a very fair price. I've always brought in a range of knives, from very good quality to pathetically cheap, and they have always taken good care of them all. No judgment or attitude about bringing in less fancy knives. Now that they are in the larger space, it's even more enjoyable to browse at the vast supply of kitchen gadgets while waiting for knives to be sharpened.

He spent the time to explain his approach to each type of knife/steel and was honest about which knives actually needed to be sharpened and which were sharp enough. He even came to my house to do the sharpening in his work van, so it was a time saver/convenient too. I would highly recommend!!

I needed a cleaver and a chef's knife sharpened on a weekend afternoon and called Grant to see if I needed to make an appointment. Fortunately he was able to take my knives right away and sharpened them in less than 10 minutes while I waited outside. He even removes some of the surface rust I had on my cleaver for me that I didn't notice. For $10/knife, it's a little ok the high end, but service was nice and I feel like I've got a new set of knives!

A serving of word salad for you, now chopped with a wicked sharp knife!…read more I am someone who believes in the utility of an EDC (Every Day Carry) knife. I have been able to upgrade a closet, open packages, soda bottles, and fix an award plaque, and more, all thanks for my trusty Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. I am of the age when many friends are getting married, and I often see knife sets on wedding registries. Here's a $100 cash and a tip that will save you $150 more: just get a good chef's knife, and keep it as sharp as reasonably possible. You may need a bread knife and maybe some steak knives if you plan to do some bbq-ing, but still cannot beat a trusty chef's knife. True to form, both my pocket knife and chef's knife get a fair amount of work. I have a pull through sharpener at home (though it technically hones more than it sharpens). This one is good for some regular 'maintenance' when the edge starts slipping instead of gliding through a tomato, but every now and again, having a professional but a proper edge does wonders. Now, as much as I would love to have a kitchen knife sharp enough to shave with, I also know this would result in a brittle knife that would break as soon as it met cartilage. At the same time, I have seen many reels of knives that can cut paper on the fly. While I found out there is a certain technique to do so, Northside Cutlery was able to get my knives sharp enough to glide through paper. The rates are reasonable at $7/knife, and the turnaround time is fast. Everyone working the shop was kind and friendly as well. While professional sharpening is not something I do on a regular basis, I can absolutely see myself returning to Northside Cutlery for all my sharpening needs.
