Posted on Eden BatkiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service, everything about this experience was enjoyable. Highly recommended.Posted on Ms. LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really appreciated the ease of online booking and quick turnaround. I didn't expect to be able to get my kitchen knives sharpened while I waited! I will be bringing some garden tools to Scott for sharpening based on my positive experience.Posted on Christopher HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love supporting local small businesses. I called and got in same day to sharpen my wife's gardening loppers. It was easy, convenient, and reasonably priced. My wife had that on her Mother's Day wish list. She is taking care of plants now and mentioned how great they work and thanked me again. I highly recommend Sharper Tools and I will taking our kitchen knives next!Posted on Hal FridayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely chill person, extremely sharp knives. Got our knives back way sharper than the last place we took em to. Will be returningPosted on Katharine FlugTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sharp knives, quick service, reasonable pricing, easy peasy online booking. Can't ask for more!Posted on Dave NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott mostly does knife sharpening, but I saw that he's also starting to work with e-bikes. I had an e-bike battery that wasn't working because of a blown fuse. It cost hundreds of dollars new and I couldn't find a bike shop that could diagnose and/or fix it. When I reached out to Scott to see if this is something he would/could do, he said to drop it off and he'd look at it (but made no promises). One hour later he called to inform me it was fixed. Wow. Just wow! I saved so much money and it was fixed very fast.Posted on Holly WarnickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My knives were as dull as wood and now they are like new! What I really appreciated was he did not oversell. I asked how often I should do it, thinking every 3 months, and he said "most people find once a year to be sufficient". I will bring cash next time, but he does take Venmo.Posted on Pirkko KarhunenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought Scott four pairs of fabric scissors that were in desperate need of sharpening and he truly performed a miracle getting them all into top shape in just 15 minutes. Now they cut all types of fabrics perfectly!Posted on Scott WakefieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sharper Tools is an old-school tool & knife sharpening small business that has adopted technology to make it easy to schedule an appointment. And the owner (whose first name is also Scott, but no relation) is a true craftsman. I took a reel-style manual push lawn mower in at the appointment time of 2:00 pm. Scott said, "Come back in an hour." Went out for a coffee & arrived back 63 minutes later. The mower was sitting in the driveway with honed & oiled blades. The phone answering & scheduling system is better than those used by many Fortune 500 companies. Super efficient & easy to navigate. It's so cool to deal with a business like this in our present day & age.
