Two day turnaround, knives are SHARP, they come back in a little cradle to protect them going forward, service is easy and fast, couldn't be better. I will be taking all my other knives there after Christmas!

great job, done on time

I brought four old carbon-steel knives to Local Root for sharpening. I'd had them for 30-40 years and had managed to keep the acceptably sharp, but not really, really sharp. So when Local Root sent an email announcing their knife-sharpening service, I figured it was time. They told me that knives brought in on Tuesday would be ready to pick up on Thursday, and they were. My four knives, brought to the store wrapped in ratty newspaper, were now in nice, thick knife sleeves. Best of all, they were sharp and gleaming. Really sharp. Sharp enough to carve the Thanksgiving turkey easily, to separate the breast meat from the carcass, and to do myriad other cooking chores. They're all a pleasure to use, and I know I'll be able to keep them that way just by bringing them back for a touch-up.

Over the years, we've taken our knives to a variety of places advertising they do professional knife sharpening, and we were never satisfied with the results. (Some I think came back to us even duller!) Prior to Thanksgiving, I took 3 knives to the Local Root store in Newton, and a few days later they were ready for pick up. The knives were all like brand new! Local Root did a truly professional sharpening job on these knives, and we'll be taking all our knives there in the future.

So happy that I am entering Thanksgiving week with delightfully sharp efficient knives. Very pleased I used the sharpening service at Local Root!

Just had three knives sharpened at Local Root and they did a great job - they are like new. Will be taking the rest of my knives in right away.

My knives never "cut so good"! Great job and very quick turnaround with extremely friendly service. Would highly recommend Didricks for all you sharpening! P.s. need a new sink brush, took the bristles straight off on first knife washing!

Excellent sharpening services. I have several different types of knives requiring different sharpening and all are excellent. I brought my knives in without guards and they included some very nice covers. I will go back.
