I made an appointment for 1 knife and brought two. He was able to sharpen both while I waited (less than 15 minutes). I highly recommend him - you. He is local, he manages his workload so that he has quick turn around, and he knows what he is doing!Posted on Google Fred FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I will continue to contact Scott for my kitchen and garden tool sharpening needs.Posted on Google doug smithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott sharpen my electric hedge trimmer, lobbers, kitchen knives, and other garden tools. This was an excellent experience, the website was easy for me to navigate and I am in my 70's. Great program. I drove over from Ballard. Doug SmithPosted on Google Brian ParkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I won’t go anywhere else for my blade sharpening. I go routinely for lawn mower blade sharpenings, but I have also taken knives and scissors to Scott as well. He has always done a fantastic job, works quickly and diligently, and has the best, most fair prices out there. I 100% recommend and praise Sharper Tools LLC!Posted on Google Christine JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was looking for someone to sharpen a pair of vintage Gingher dressmaking shears that belonged to my late mother, who was a professional seamstress and tailor. Because of their sentimental value, I wanted someone experienced with quality sewing shears. Not everyone knows how to sharpen dressmaking shears correctly, and I didn’t want to risk damaging them or mailing them out of town. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the positive reviews convinced me to give it a try. I’m glad I did. When I arrived, Scott was already outside waiting for me. He looked over the shears, confirmed they were dull, quoted me $10, and had them sharpened in just a few minutes. The service was friendly, professional, and affordable. Most importantly, my mother’s Gingher dressmaking shears have been restored to their proper sharpness so I can preserve them as a keepsake. The positive reviews were what convinced me to make the appointment, and they were absolutely accurate. I would definitely recommend this service.Posted on Google Tramaine MurrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent local sharpening experience.

Blade is sharp!Posted on Google Larcy AmorelleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
