What Customers Say

★★★★★

"Knife Refinery saved my favorite chef knife! The standard sharpening took it from totally dull to slicing tomatoes like butter. Fast, local, and incredibly cheap."

— Mark T., Andersonville
★★★★★

"Ado's freehand wet stone sharpening is pure magic. I brought in two high-end Japanese knives and they came back sharper than the day I bought them. Absolutely worth the premium service."

— Sarah L., Lincoln Square
★★★★★

"Awesome service. Dropped off my kitchen shears and pocket knife on Tuesday afternoon, and got them back super sharp by Thursday. I wrap them in a towel now every time I go."

— David K., Ravenswood
