Client Reviews
Knives came out sharper than when I bought them! Fair pricing, quick turnaround, and very nice people. 10/10 would recommend.
I highly recommend this place! Sharp knives make me want to cook and prep! I love how the knives were wrapped in butcher paper – gave me something to conveniently try the new effortless edge on! They also gave me plastic thin guards for the paring knives for free/transport.
First time sharpening here, and I am impressed. I cut with Mizutani shears and they require skilled technicians. I have had these shears sharpened by a few places and Sharpening Center is by far the best in the Twin Cities! They even got my blending shears cutting smoothly after multiple attempts by other local sharpeners. Worth the trip!!
We’ve had knives sharpened before with OK results. Heard about Sharpening Center and gave them a try. Wow! Amazing results. Great service. And they did a great and impressive job at packaging the knives, in plastic, individual sleeves and wrapped in brown paper. Impressive! Will never go elsewhere. And great pricing!
My wife experienced prompt service and a reasonable price when getting her pinking shears sharpened. Dan gave her instructions on using them so they wouldn’t dull quickly. We both highly recommend the Sharpening Center.
I do not live close to the Sharpening Center, but taking the trip to this business was definitely worth it! Their prices are really affordable and my tweezers are as good as new! Its location in Downtown Hopkins is also really charming.
Seriously, I never knew my knives could be like this! I thought our Wüstof Grand Prix knives were great when we first bought them, but they were never this sharp! Nice work Sharpening Center! Fast and friendly service. Excellent pricing. Hours clearly posted and open during times I arrived or called. I would highly recommend their services.
I bring my professional scissors and clipper blades here and have for years.
I highly recommend this place to all hair stylists. They’re the best scissor sharpening place in Minnesota.
Great service, professional edges, quick turnaround, fabulous customer service.
I had used a Wusthof chef knife in place of a cleaver and imagined the mangled blade was surely unfixable. Dan and team came through and did superb work at very good price. Highly recommend.
Top notch service. I traveled from out of town and Dan helped immensely with the turn around time. I would highly recommend as the knives were expertly sharpened. Also, check out the store. Lots of clippers and other sharp objects.
