This guy is amazing! Second time I’ve used his services and will go back again. Took our entire set of kitchen knives (15 of them) and he turned them around in less than 48 hours. They were mind-blowing sharp, and wrapped with my safety in mind. I’ve not used his pick-up/delivery service, as he’s only about 5 miles from me. And to make it even better, his prices are awesome!

AMAZING!! Couldnt ask for a better experience and razor sharp knives. He is great to work with and so amazing at what he does. My knives are better than new. I will recommend him to all that I know that need sharpening. You will be so happy to slice a tomato and see the glory of your sharp knife as it slides through and is done!

Have been customer with PSOK for several years & he is AWESOME! Pricing is unbelievably inexpensive & his work is IMPECCABLE. He is a master craftsmen & clearly loves what he does. Unlike some, there is NO false pretentiousness or judgements over what brand of knife you bring to him. In fact, when I asked for advice his reply was that any knife is great as long as you treat it well. Thank you Patron Saint Of Knives, you’ve won a customer for life.

The Patron Saint of Knives lives up to his name, very dedicated and professional. I dropped off 8 knives and a pair of shears yesterday afternoon and they are ready for pick up this morning. Its very organized you simply fill out a contact form pick a secured locker and your knives will get sharpened better than new! Cant wait to use my new 🔪 😎…..

I had been struggling to sharpen my knives for months and saw that Eliot was at the Vancouver Saturday Market. There I spoke with Eliot and took his cards. The process of dropping off my knives at their location was easy! I dropped my knives off and filled in my information and 12 hours later I got a text saying how much I owed and that my knives were ready and “wicked sharp”! Dropped off my money, which was $24 for 4 knives and definitely worth it! Got them home and was impressed by how he had wrapped them up for my safety even included a bandage just in case! These babies are sharp! I think they are sharper now then when I bought them! I will tell everyone I know about Patron Saint of Knives and will 100% never have a dull knife in my drawer!! Thank you!

Our Shun knives tell us each time we use them how much they love getting sharpened by the PATRON SAINT of KNIVES.... its like going to a spa for cutlery! 😁Every razor sharp edge he finishes is like an artistic masterpiece. His skill is simply fascinating and we cannot imagine taking our knives any place else but to Eliot.

If you want wicked sharp knives, loppers or pruners and a good dose of fun to go with it, then you must try The Patron Saint of Knives. I am a cook and want and appreciate good sharp knives. My edges have never been sharper. I am also a gardener and my pruners and loppers have been brought back to life. Cannot recommend Elliot and his outstanding service highly enough.

Second time doing business with Eliot. Simple, no-contact drop off and pick up. Good communication with a one-day turnaround for my knives. Excellent work. Take care of the knives you have in lieu of buying more. Thanks again, Patron Saint!

Incredibly fast turnaround and a pleasure to support a local small business. Easy drop off and pickup (Contactless and secure) makes for a painless experience. Knives are truly wicked sharp when they are returned. Im happy to have been bringing my knives here for the last 6 years.

I have been a customer/acolyte of Saint Eliot for years, a decade at least. He has consistently sharpened and or repaired every knife I’ve brought him and many were in pathetic shape!! He is a true craftsman artist with edges. His return packaging includes a warning and a bandaid, ignore the former and count on using the latter!! If there were a description beyond “Razor” or “surgical” in sharpness, I would use it. His prices are phenomenal and his quality unmatched. I’d swear to this.You won’t be disappointed. Be Very careful, enjoy

Eliot did a beautiful job on my knives. Start to finish, a great experience, from the ease of dropping off and picking up with his locker system, to the great communication, and finally the care and expertise he brings to the knife sharpening. I would highly recommend you entrust your knives to his care!

Review №17

I’ve brought my knives to Eliot for years. He always gets them sharper than I can imagine and in less time than I expect. Today I dropped off 10 knives at 2 pm and Eliot had them all done by 8 pm. Last week he brought a 20 year old pair of branch loppers back to life and they cut like never before. Eliot is a wizard!

Easy drop off and great pricing. These knifes have been professionally sharpened by KAI USA for 10 years, however now they have been taken to the next level. Pride in profession shows clearly here.Dont think twice, its worth every penny.Update!!I recently went back to the Patron with 3 of my favorites that I kept it a drawer because they went to pot years ago and I hate parting with a great knife. Less than 24 hours later I got the text to go pick them up. Well thank god he places a band aid in the pick up package (they are very well secured by him in case your wondering). I took it out and touched the blade for Instant cut. Cooking is becoming fun again.

This is a great set up. Dropped my dull S30V knife off at the lockers and got a text a few hours later letting me know I could pick it up.This knife is scary sharp. He did a much better job than I ever could and for $6.Thank you Patron Saint. Excellent work.

Review №25

This is hard to explain. Im 42, ex military, very mechanical & thought I had a grip on most concepts...You hear the term Razor Sharp as you grow, so you adopt the assumption that a Razor Blade is the gold standard of how sharp something can get.Well, Those who dont know, dont know they dont know.Now I know.Knife shops used to sharpen, but they no longer exist so I searched the net to see if any store offered sharpening anymore. Thats where I found Patron St. of Knives.My Every Day Carry little $40.00 Gerber assisted open clip knife wasnt as sharp as new being as I use it a lot. It wasnt bad, just not as awesome as when new. I actually thought of just buying another.Then I found Patron Saint Of Knives, and he was fairly local. I also had a spear tip knife slated to be an optional add on to a 6 bow, so I threw that in as well even though it was brand new because I wanted the 2nd edge added.Its very rare to run across someone so good at something that they redefine an entire concept for you.The term good doesnt even do him justice. This is savant level craftsmanship that one rarely ever encounters anymore.Calling what I got back Razor Sharp would be insulting to the edges I got back. This is more along the lines of Scary Sharp... or Terrifyingly sharp works well too.As in, Im actually scared to put that spear tip on the 6 bow, and am absolutely sure to put the dog away before I practice with the bow so I dont accidentally decapitate him if he were to walk up behind me.With this edge, when I add the spear point to the bow, its pretty much like a light saber.I swiped it across the pillow back of a broken Lay-z-Boy Im getting rid of, and it just glided right through leaving a 4 deep, 1 long separation of the foam & cloth.The only thing I could compare the edge you get back to would be something in the realm of a surgical scalpel.Needless to say, Im impressed.

No one, I said NO ONE, sharpens knifes as good as Eliot at the Patron Saint of Knifes. We have used him for the past 10 years, and our knifes, after a visit to Eliot, are still in excellent condition. Go to Patron Saint of Knifes on time, and I guarantee you will never use anyone else!

I invested on good knives 20years ago and The Patron Saint of Knives keeps them nice and sharp. Sharp knives are safer knives. Eliot is meticulous in his care and has always had 24-hour turn around.

I delivered my mother’s collection of wood carving tools she gathered in the early 1960s. The tools were loaned to three or four of her friends. Finally given to me in really bad and abused condition around 1985. I’m now retired, got the tools out for a try and saw the conditions go the cutting edges. The tools are now FANTASTIC. Thank you for your superb service and the fast turnaround. Don H.

A friend who is a restaurant owner recommended this business. I brought my 37 year old Henkel knives (never sharpened) to Eliot. His no touch system is awesome and my knives were completed within 24 hours like brand new! I highly recommend this business. He replies promptly and takes various methods of payment making it easy. Thanks so much Eliot, it feels like I have a new set of knives!

I was honestly a little skeptical about showing up to someones house I dont know and dropping off my knives. But his drop box setup is very nice and a great idea. Outstanding service and very responsive. My knife sharpening needs will be satisfied with Patrons Saint of Knives from now on. If anyone else needs their knives sharpened I will send them to him.Thank you very much, Im impressed.

Couldnt have hoped for a better experience. Four knives sharpened within 18 hours of dropping them off. One of which had a quarter inch nick out of the blade. Repair work is flawless, in addition he took the time to reshape and sharpen the tang making the knife much easier to sharpen in the future. And almost as a side note the knives are sharper now than they were when I purchased them.

He sharpened my knives like never before! Cutting through meat with ease and I dont cry anymore when chopping onions. LOLAnd heres an added bonus...I have 3 dull nippers that I havent used for ages. Thought Id bring them for sharpening. He said hed try, but the when I got them, they now work and able to cut my cuticles without making them bleed. Elliot is the master of knives indeed!!!

Dropped my five dullest kitchen knives off in one of the the secure drop boxes, and less than 24 hours later I had them back SIGNIFICANTLY sharper than factory. Even my serrated bread knife was returned razor sharp.Afterwards, I stumbled on his Youtube videos on knife sharpening, and after watching a few it was clear why his sharpening quality was so exemplary.The Patron Saint of Knives takes pride in his work, and it shows in every knife.Id wholeheartedly recommend his services.

This man is more than a saint. He is a wizard, as his turnaround time is a feat of magick. I appreciate the good communication with him via both text and email. The ease/simplicity of the drop off, payment, and pickup system is quite clever and worked well with my schedule. Dont buy new knives! Take your old, dull kitchen weapons to Eliot the Knife Wizard.

Review №81

The Patron Saint of Knives is absolutely, without a doubt, bar none, the BEST sharpening service out there, anywhere! The Saint sharpened a Damascus steel knife of mine to a terrifyingly sharp edge, much sharper than Id experienced with any knife Ive ever used. This was done after a competitor charged me a lot more money to quite literally do nothing with the knife. Also unbeatable is the care with which the sharpened knives are packed. It is abundantly clear that the Saint has a huge passion for for his craft, and treats all of his customers with the utmost respect and care. I couldnt be happier with the Patron Saint of Knives.

Excellent work, quick turn-around, reasonable price. Patron Saint of Knives is a first-class service. Knives that come back to me are so sharp I can easily say they are better than new. All my knives are cutlery used for cooking and every task of chopping and slicing is easier now, a breeze actually. My thanks and five stars to Patron Saint of Knives.

Great service!For 5 dollars a knife its a bargain considering the work they do.I dropped 3 different knives. They were able to take excess weight off one knife, smooth a sharp angle on another, and reform the tip the tip on my Shun.The packaging alone was worth the money.

Absolutely amazing! I dropped off my dull chef knife with a slightly broken tip just thinking it would come back sharpened.
