Belated appreciation post for this place and its skillful and helpful blade master Kenneth…read more You don't often hear "we'll make it work" these days when you call a shop for the first time to ask about their services. But I got that and more when I called about sharpening my lawn mower blade. This place is a gem and so is Kenneth, the proprietor and a former chef. He knows his stuff, and shared anecdotes about Anthony Bourdain, whose portrait is on the wall. There are so many cool things to see here. I got my kitchen knives sharpened as well and it all only set me back about 48 bucks. When you need to find "old Austin" go see Kenneth and get your blades professionally cared for.

Found this guy online with great Google reviews but mediocre Yelp reviews. Believe the Google…read moreReviews! Michael was very responsive, gave me same-day service at no extra charge, and even picked up and dropped off my knives for an extra $20! My dull knives were sharper than they've ever been in less than a day for a lot less money than I would have spent shipping them off. Michael does the work himself and took time to explain the different sharpening methods he would use based on the steel composition and degree of my blades. He's highly professional, considerate, and fairly priced. It's unusual to find someone that takes such great care. Do yourself and your kitchen a favor and give Michael a call!

I first found Seriously Fast Sharpening on Yelp, before seeing they had a website with a contact…read morenumber. I texted them what I needed and if they had same-day appointments, which I was able to schedule within the hour much to my delight. They sent me their prices and confirmed how much I would be charged. They shared with me their address and drop off location as there's no where to wait. I drove to a local coffee shop nearby to wait. From drop-off to when I received their text to say they were finished took about 30 min. Pretty darn fast. They sent me payment details and reconfirmed how much I owed. I drove back, picked up my hatchet, Venmo'd them, and that was it. I'm glad that they're located in north Austin and not too far of a drive from where I live. I took off two stars due to quality concerns. Although the edge of the blade is sharp, they didn't sharpen the edge into a convex edge or at least ask if they should sharpen the edge that way. My axe had never been sharpened before but a convex edge would have been most appropriate for my use case. They also didn't sharpen the entire blade. From my pictures, you can see that they missed the top corner of the blade (rounded). You can also tell that the edge isn't centered. The axe was bought this way, but I expected Seriously Fast Sharpening to center it or at least make mention of it. All in all, a 3-star experience. I appreciated their promptness and quick communication, but I expected more in terms of craftsmanship quality. I may try them again for some smaller blades in the future.

This is pretty much a beautiful upscale store they cater more to the elite crowd. Yes it is…read moreexpensive but they do carry a lot of beautiful items I do remember buying about 20 wine glasses a few years back and they weren't what I thought they would be. But now they carry better quality and definitely the selections they have is going to be a little higher and more expensive. So you can save money here if you come at the right time do not come when it's seasonal items because they do tend to be on the higher value side. They do carry electrical items and they carry wine glasses and beautiful Christmas trees. I was searching for a certain wine glass I wanted to get 10 of them today except that it's Hit or Miss because they don't carry 10 items you have to order or find them in the store. So if you want to purchase several of the same wine glass good luck with that. I had wonderful service they're very friendly here and they will help you in every way they can that's what I thought was an absolute Plus. Like I said I usually like to come when it's not before Christmas or any holidays because that's where you will find everything higher in price. I will come back again of course and see if I can buy any items on sale after the holidays that's the best time to come. Great parking no problem here and very friendly customer service.

This is where I have shopped for decades when I'm buying gifts for "people who have everything."…read more Breed's has always been the kind of store where you could count on real service, too. The beautiful objects are still there, but the shop appears to be quite understaffed... and whatever staff there is is struggling to keep up. I genuinely felt sorry for them. This is an ACE hardware store coupled with a tasteful, high end and carefully curated and presented homeware selection, including tableware, gardening supplies, greeting cards, candies and candles and one of a kind objects for the home. A $2,400 candelabra, a Smeg toaster, an excellent selection of flatware, tablecloths and glassware... pretty pajamas, $90 votive candles... But what to do if you want to know the price of that set of Wedgewood china, or the Rialto flatware? Prices are missing on so so many objects. And you cannot find a staff member... And you only have so much time before you need to meet mom for lunch. Ah well. Many of us are trying to ween ourselves off of online shopping. Retail stores... this is your moment to recoup some ground.
