I had a couple of kitchen knives that needed sharpening, one a high-end knife and the other a cheap one. The owner, an elderly gentleman who gave off an aura of a supreme master of knives, carefully examined each knife and said he could sharpen both. I paid the fee and was told they would be ready in a couple days. Four days later I called and was told the knives were ready for pick up. Both were sharpened nicely, like new. The cheap knife, which originally had some damage to the blade, was repaired and looked like the day it was bought 20 years ago. We are happy to have both of these knives back in our kitchen, ready to slice away. While I was there, I asked if they had any kitchen scissors and I was shown a couple of options. The differences between them were explained so I could make the best choice. I bought a pair and have been very happy with them!

Budd aligned my shears & not even a superficial nick 50 haircuts deep! My shears were practically ruined after I'd sent them away to be sharpened during covid, so I truly didn't have high hopes for Perfect Edge Sharpening , I just knew it couldn't be worse than the previous job. Budd immediately recognized the type of blade/craftsmanship, which assured me that he's knowledgeable. He asked for me to pick them up at end of day to guarantee his undivided attention (no problem!) they were ready when I arrived & for a very reasonable price. I am grateful to have found Budd & will gladly use his services again.

He arranged a drop-off time and place and managed to get my knives back to me in less than a day. The knives were expertly sharpened - I even threw in a ceramic blade that had been nicked and was on the verge of being trashed, he brought it back from the dead. The cost was even less than expected! I would not hesitate to use this service again and urge you to do the same!

I will definitely be doing business with Mike in the future, once my new set is due to be sharpened.

I just don't understand why their customer service couldn't respond to my inquiries telling me that they were backed up. That would have alleviated a lot of anxiety for myself and the many others who were in the same situation. Five stars for the quality, one star for customer service. I paid about $60 for the 4 knives plus I got one free serrated knife. I think that is a fair deal.
