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!

After years of dilly dallying on sending our Shun knives to be sharpened, we finally realized that…read morethe more convenient option was (almost literally) in front of our noses. There's a reason Exact Blade has such consistently good reviews. We dropped off five knives to be sharpened, including one of our Shun knives. They were ready the next day, and I used one of the lower quality knives when making dinner. It was like having a brand new knife. Customer service is excellent, and pricing can't be beat. We've decided to do the subscription, at least until we get caught up on sharpening everything that desperately needs it. Soon the dullest thing in this house will be me!

We went for a cooking class, a holiday gift for my husband, in late February. We had a great time!…read more The chef and assistants were very helpful, made it fun, and shared great tips. I know these classes aren't technique driven by any means, but I always come away with a few tips and tricks to apply in my own kitchen, and this was no different. Picked up a few tools to use as well. That being said, if you are looking for a start to finish class, where you prep and do ALL of it, this is not that - I know that is the goal for most people, but there are a few who want a true experience, this again, is more idea based.

I've taken two baking classes here (puff pastry and make-and-take Buche de Noel), both with the…read moresame chef. You will receive a coupon before your class; the day of class, the recipes will be emailed to you (if you're organized, print to take notes). You get 10% off on anything in-store the day of class, including more classes; and you might get a coupon afterwards. So I've never actually shopped here without getting a discount (new Nordicware pans? Silicone spatulas? sure!). An advantage to taking a class is there's actually parking early in the morning, though if you park close (on the street, in the lot across the way) you may need to move your car after class when there isn't. Unmetered street parking is available around the corner/block if you don't mind carrying your goodies that far. The baking classes, like those I've taken elsewhere, have you working in groups of 3 or 4, so you aren't doing everything 100% yourself. Wear comfortable shoes: you'll be standing the whole time. Ingredients are prepped and pre-portioned for you and trash whisked away; there's water and tea and you can get in one or two coffee orders (latte, espresso). Recipes were easy to understand and quite tasty; I felt confident I could make them myself. The buche class actually had each of us preparing our own individual cake, not working communally. The chef teaching it was stressed out, so it was much less relaxing (Corporate had not allocated prep time on the clock; had not sent any cake boards; boxes were not available in a proper size; the rosemary never arrived; the pre-prepped frozen buttercream separated and had to be coddled...). This is apparently the most complicated class they teach and while we all had a cake when we were done, we didn't get to make any of the decorations, though he walked us through them and sent us home with cranberries and sugar. The chef was helpful, the assistants cheerful, and the final product looked great (even for the folks who said "I don't bake") and was delicious. I'll be watching to see if there are other classes I want to take - maybe with a discount!

My visit to SPC was a visit of necessity. "Baby needed a new pair of shoes". Not the shoes one wears on his or her feet but the shoes/wheels on a otherwise attractive looking car. Unbeknownst to me much like the long history of the famous saying, wheel recoating is not limited to the cool, hip, car lovers who live for custom looks. Recoating is common and encouraged when the factory coat on standard alloy wheels has seen better days or a curb or two too many. Does it really work you ask? I would say, you can see for yourself. Check out the before and after picture below. You be the judge. If you have rims that are in need of TLC, you can bring them back to life. SPC offers a lifetime guarantee on the coating, and if you were like us, the company has equipment to take off tires and store the vehicle. In our experience, pricing was more affordable than replacing the "shoes" (rims) and turnaround time was a few days. Thanks to Claymore Recoating Repair for recommending Speed Powder Coating. The finished product is certainly like new!

I procrastinate about keeping knives sharp... it's a pain to find a place and get your knives back same day! So here I go, trekking to Oswego to the source. Buried in behind dense overgrown foliage and operating out of a garage crammed to the rafters with the tools of his trade is TOM! If for no other reason than to meet an unforgettable person AND save money it's worth the trip. Call in advance to make sure he didn't bag it and take the day off. It's easy to find the street but easier to drive past the house, shrouded in weeds, foliage, junk with an old white pick up in the driveway. Tom is a retired blacksmith not to be confused with a ferrier (who shoes horses). I got a quick lesson in using and caring for my knives and learned that walnut handles are the best because they are microbial retardant!. Thank God I had cash, had 7 knives sharpened for $20! I was very pleased even though Tom wasn't exercising any COVID conventions which is the only reason he gets one less star! Great job! Check him out!

I brought it in one Monday, and they surmised that the tension was too high, and that when it was sharpened, the tension was adjusted so it would be an easy fix. They said it would total about $20 and be done on Friday, but they'd call and confirm. Friday rolls around, and no one has called. I call and leave a message, and get no response. I forgot they are closed on weekends, so I'm stuck until Monday. I stop by then to Bull, and they say that the real problem was a rusted tapered bolt that was stuck and preventing operation. They had started to sharpen, but now it was stuck, so they didn't charge. I'm still annoyed that they didn't call on Friday and wasted my time, but atleast it was free. I then take it down Roosevelt to Bernie's Saw & Supply. They look at it, but don't do anything as far as I can tell. They tell me it is a lost cause, and send me on my way. As I drag it out, I notice the blades spin. Testing it on grass, it seems to work. Did Bull fix it and it was a delayed reaction of their time-released repair? Does Bernie's have a magic touch that can fix things without tools? Who knows. It's still not 100%, but it works well enough for my tiny yard, and it was all free.
