I booked an appointment with Scott/A cut above and the windows/times were very flexible. It was nice to have very specific directions for drop off/pick up. There was a bit of an issue in terms of the timeline and communication at first as my knife took longer than expected however, it was resolved and I would say customer service was great and I feel confident that I will recommend him and his work after picking up my knife last week. For context, it's the first chefs knife that I ever made so she's not sleek with machinery-grade perfection and I had the knife in storage for a while when I was travelling and also moving so there was quite a bit of wear, tear, and rust. When I unwrapped the knife, I was so happy with the results. He really put work and love into what he does and it shows. Fight the urge to run your thumb across the blade - I looked and my thoughts wanted to but I decided...let's cut up some chicken instead and it slices like a hot knife through cold butter. Great work.

I'm writing this review to let you know about Cut Above - Knife and Tool Sharpening located in…read moreTucson. My husband and I had a couple of expensive knives that we had purchased many years ago as well as a couple of other "not so expensive" knives that were all in dire need of sharpening. After looking on the internet, I came across this place and without even checking out their webpage, I called and set up a time to drop off our knives. Turns out, this is the one-man operation of a college student at the University of Arizona who took up cooking and learning how to sharpen utensils during Covid. Anyway - his name is Nick and besides being such a nice human-being, he was able to get our knives sharpened in one day and even brought them out to my car when I went by to pick them up. As far as his charges go - they seemed extremely reasonable to me but since I've never had any knives sharpened before I don't know how his rates compare to others. Regarding the quality of his work - both my husband and I are very happy with it. All the knives are so much sharper and are cutting things so much easier and better now. Why we hadn't had them sharpened before now - I'm not sure of the reason other than their becoming dull doesn't happen over night. To sum up, both my husband and I strongly recommend the services of Nick of Cut Above - Knife and Tool Sharpening.

THIS SKILLED BLADE SHARPENER DEFINITELY KNOWS HIS TRADE. I sent him the same blade that I use in my…read moreguillotine by mail, and he did an outstanding job. The blade now cuts even better than when I first purchased it brand new. I discovered him on YouTube when I was desperately seeking out a solution to sharpen my dull blade. As we all know, brand new blades are never sharp enough. After reaching out to him via email and sending my blade, he quickly repaired it and returned it to me within just four days. The edge of the blade is now in SUPER EXCELLENT condition, and I am thoroughly impressed by the professional work that he did. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of blade sharpening.
