We were desperate to find a place to get our knives sharpened but also worried that we had destroyed them over the years. We had been sharpening regularly at home but were never able to replicate that new knife sharpness. When we started searching places, Knife Aid popped up first on Google. We immediately loved the idea of the ease of just dropping them off in my mailbox. We signed up for 5 knives, one time sharpening.
The website gave a timeline on how long we would be without our knives, but we would say it took longer due to USPS delays. The turn around to sharpen was only a day as they stated.
We liked that they used the same packaging and knife sheaths that they provided us to package them with when they returned them. Felt environmentally friendly.
Our knives are so amazingly sharp now; like brand new sharp! We really thought we had ruined them over the years but not at all.
ONE CAVEAT, we only wound up getting 4 of the 5 sharpened because our 12" brisket slicer did not fit in the packaging.
Pricing was pretty much on par with other local sharpening services that we have seen since we decided to use Knife Aid.
In conclusion, this service was convenient, mostly time efficient and sharpened our knives really well at a competitive price. Highly recommend!
