Highly recommend this service!Posted on Laurie RossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very impressed with this service. Communication was excellent and very quick. I was greeted quickly and kindly when I arrived to get my knives sharpened. They were sharpened very quickly while I waited and I am very happy with the quality of the sharpening. My knives are cutting perfectly!Posted on Deepansh JainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really appreciate the service done by Danforth knife sharpening. He was very gentle and very quick i.e on the spot service. Recommended to anyonePosted on Matt WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ted was great. He was quick to respond to messages, accommodated my schedule for drop off and had six knives back to me within an hour. He even noticed one blade needed a tip repair and didn’t at no extra cost. The work was very good and the knives once again cut like they did the day I bought them. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Danforth Knife Sharpening.Posted on Jessica SeverinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time using this service, very impressed. Three knives sharpened while I waited (less than 15min), very quick turnaround, and I'm thrilled with the results. Very reasonable price, too.Posted on Alyssa KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a disappointing experience with a kiosk that didn’t sharpen my knives at all, I found Danforth Knife Sharpening and couldn’t be happier. Super professional, quick turnaround, and really easy drop-off and pick-up. My knives came back perfectly sharp. Highly recommend.Posted on Masha KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from Ted sharpening my kitchen knife last week. He responded promptly to my text booking an appointment, and then sharpened our knife in a few minutes while we waited. Now cuts even better than when it was new. Great workPosted on Jonathan PickupTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently found Danforth Knife Sharpening on Google because my utility knife was in dire need of a good, quality sharpening. DFS had many positive reviews, so I decided to reach out. The entire process from drop-off to pick-up was seamless, and to be honest - I think that DFS made my Benchmade knife sharper than it originally was from the factory. I am a happy customer indeed, and will be sure to return in the future with other knives!
