Steves sharpening service really is as good as his reviews suggest. This is a seriously skilled craftsman and if you live anywhere near him its beyond convenient and affordable to have him do all your sharpening. I used his services yesterday primarily to get the edge back on a set of fillet knives prior to a fishing trip, all of which were dull and one of which was basically destroyed through abusive treatment. Within an hour he had all 3 knives plus about 10 more kitchen implements (including a serrated blade) back to better-than-new sharpness. A+ would use again or recommend for anyone.
Steve fit me in on a Monday afternoon and in a few short minutes gave my kitchen knives the TLC they so desperately needed, keeping me engaged with useful tips and pleasant conversation. Very satisfied with the work, the service, and the price!
I had two knives that desperately needed a new edge on them. Steve was more than happy to help. He got me in on short notice and it took maybe 10 minutes before I walked out the door with some wicked-sharp blades. Flexible, friendly service and very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Steve!
Very friendly and fast. Will be using Sharp Stuff for every knife I have.
Awesome guy, very friendly. Sharpened my damaged blade hinkel ebay find. Put a new tip on and fixed her up perfect. He uses a motor driven strop to finish the edge off, thats what makes them razor sharp and keep a lasting sharpness. Hope Im not giving his secret away.
I wanted to let the knives that I had sharpened get a little wear on them. This is the best knife sharpener around. He worked with me dropping them off and didnt berate me for using an at home sharpener (which didnt work). I will always bring my knives to be sharpened here. I can cut through a tomato without trying now, I couldnt do that even right after we bought them!!! Do yourself a favor and get your knives sharpened by him!
I’ve used Steve to sharpen my knives for more than 20 years. Everything his website states is 100% true.His skill is spot on. He’ll treat you right and his pricing is very fair.
To start off, Steve is a very nice man. He is also a craftsman in every sense of the word. He does an excellent job at a reasonable price and in a timely manner. I had a wonderful handmade kitchen knife that was dropped onto a hard surface, breaking the point. He reshaped and sharpened it like new. Highly recommended!!
My mom desperately needed her kitchen knives sharpened, out of the 5, 3 had broken tips and another had some divots and scratches. We dropped them off in the morning and Steve had them ready 20 min later, but let us pick them up on our way home. He was super friendly and the price was insanely reasonable. And now we have knives that actually cut things now!
I got 3 new knives for my birthday and got them sharpened here. He was able to sharpen all three that day and in 20 minutes I walked out with 4 razor sharp knives. Highly recommend and I will be back.
Steve sharpened 7 knives for me in just 30 minutes. He is kind, professional and personable. I appreciated his willingness to sharpen them immediately after I called. Knifes are amazingly sharp....not a chore to use anymore. Highly recommend him!
Used Steves services for the first time today. My wife says WOW! He sharpened 4 knives for us and we are extremely pleased with his work. Straightened and sharpened better than new. We will definitely be back.
I met Steve for the first time today. I have a set of Global knives that are special to me and desperately needed sharpening! I called Steve. He asked that I drop the knives off at his sharpening studio. He was incredibly friendly, professional and quick! Within an hour and a half my knives were done. I picked them up, took them home, and tested them on tonights dinner prep. Wow! They are sharper than when I first purchased them! I recommend Steve and his knife sharpening skills to everyone!
25 year old knives, completed in 15 minutes, to better than new condition for an incredibly affordable price. As long as I live in Spokane, Im taking all my sharpening needs to Steve.
I was looking for someone to sharpen a couple kitchen knives and to do a repair. I found numerous reviews on Sharp Stuff and gave him a call. He told me I could come right over and he would knock them out for me. I was in and out faster and less expensive than I ever anticpated and my knives are now sharper than ever. The knife I had repaired you would never know it had its tip broken. I was 100 percent satisfied with his work I will definitely take any knives or any other things I need sharpened here in the future.
Shop locally. Support your community. I completely enjoyed my experience with Sharp Stuff. Steve Schmauch, the owner / sharpener, is very friendly and really knows his craft. I had a knife that needed to be sharpened, so I emailed him. We set up a day and a time for me to come over. When I got to the location, I was very impressed with his setup. The things on his web page all seem to be true. I had confidence throughout the whole process. The actual sharpening was fast and I was able to watch. He handed my knife back to me sharper than when I got it from the manufacturer. If you have any blades that need to be sharpened, try Sharp Stuff, you wont be disappointed.
I called and he had me come over, and he sharpened my 5 knives in less than 30 minutes. He gave me some advice on how to properly use the knives to make them last longer. I would highly recommend Sharp Stuff to all my family and friends. Use this local business and tell everyone you know.
A very personable, professional man, who I bring all my knives to. They are incredibly sharp afterwards and hold their edge for a long time. Hes clearly passionate about what he does as he spent a lot of time talking to me about his process and how to care for my knives. Hes been doing this a long time and it shows. His prices are reasonable as well.Cooking is safer and a lot more fun with really sharp knives. Thank you Steve....
Excellent job on my kitchen knives. Friendly and professional service. I will definitely be recommending Steve to my friends!
I took my nice to Steve at sharp stuff and I couldnt be happier.I bought Ontario SP 6 and it came with just the factory edge on it which was not very sharp. However, the knife was crafted from carbon steel. After being in Steves hands I can easily shave the hair off my arm. Steve is a true craftsman. After this experience, Ill gladly take him all my cutleryJust another note.There is one of the review on here thats not a five star review.I would encourage readers to disregard this particular review.. A craftsman cant be totally responsible for a customer that provides cheap knives made from low quality steel. Just sayin....
As I live 80 miles away, I set up an appointment with Steve to sharpen my wood working chisels while I did a little shopping. He was friendly, prompt and my chisels have never been so sharp!!! Great service, thank you, Steve!!
Steve is very knowledgeable and cheerful. He works quickly and does a fantastic job. Definitely coming back.
Great to connect with an old acquaintance. He could sharpen while you wait.
Steve was super helpful and knowledgeable. It was just what I was looking for.I must say as little as I know about blade sharpening I know that the last negative review was unfair because sharpening has nothing to do with how long the edge keeps. It’s about the use and quality of the blade and user. Steve has sharpened over 100,000 blade and I trust he know how to sharpen. It’s up to us to care for them after that.
I had my knifes sharpened with Steve last weekend. I am a microtech knife guy and I have to say that Steve did a excellent job! My knives have never been this sharp. Microtech is known to have some of the sharpest blades for a production knife. Steve made them even sharper. He is very professional and went out of his way to make time for me on a Saturday evening knowing that I was from out of town. I would highly recommend getting your blades sharpened by this highly trained and qualified knife sharpening guru!
Knives were dull in 2 months. I was very disappointed. Had these knives for 10 years, and have regularly got them sharpened. Thought I would try Sharp Stuff....Going to have to find someone else.
An excellent sharpener who took my abused and dull kitchen knife and returned it sharper than it has ever been, with a straight and level edge with no nicks. And then asked a very reasonable price.
Havent been to his shop yet and I like the guy already,will update review monday after hes done with my very abused knives.
Proffesional experience, amazing work A++
Just a guy in his garage charged me 15$ to get shears done and did a great job
