My only question after getting my knives back was why the heck I waited so long! The sharpening was expertly done by someone who clearly knows his (her?) stuff and treated my knives with care. Service was speedy, a small lot behind the store made parking easy, and the price was right.
Kelli
Excellent job sharpening, quick and reasonably priced for big knives.
Michael
The work was excellent and it fixed a broken tip of the knife. However, for normal sharpening, $22 is simply too much.

Hi Michael, Thanks for your review! We are happy you liked the work! I did want to point out that our regular knife sharpening is $15 and our whetstone sharpening is $22. If there was a discrepancy with your order please call us at 617-354-2400. We are happy to look at it for you.

I had a Global chef's knife sharpened and I know the angle differs from standard sharpening. I actually don't know whether Local Root did the standard or Global angle; I think standard. It came out beautifully and works great. Very reasonable cost, I think $12 or $15 (don't remember exactly.) I also picked up the best garlic press in existence at the store... they know their stuff and when I started talking about needing a garlic press they steered me right. It was $50 but what can you do. The thing is marvelous. No more peeling garlic!

Took some of my best knives for their routine maintenance. Did a fabulous job! Had a variety including some from outside the US - each one perfect!

My knives came back quickly and with the best the I head since they were new. As a personal chef, I rely on my knives to make my job easier and more efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again.

The quality of the sharpened knives is very high. However the price is high too and I wonder why.
