Premier Sharpening

I used them at the farmer’s market one time. He was very busy. He gave me about a 40 min estimate. I mostly went there to get my knives sharpened but did want to look around. Well I had to wait a total of about twice that.
He did get the knives pretty sharp. Not close to as sharp as that came new. The biggest downside for me is they just did not stay sharp for long. Maybe 2 or 3 months max.
I have learned how to put a good edge on my knives after that. They tend to hold a edge for about 6 months.

I had a good experience with Premier Sharpening. (Note this is the same company as «Help Your Knife,» another knife sharpening business reviewed on Unilocal.)
I called this morning to see if the business was going to have a stand at the Rice Farmer’s Market as other reviewers had stated that was where the business could be found. The man who answered said the business was not there, but that he could come to my home this afternoon. I asked what the trip charge was. He said none if you have over $ 40 worth of work and $ 40 otherwise. Cost is $ 1 per inch of knife blade.
Cost ended up being $ 155 for all my cutting knives. Before he arrived, I had estimated the blade lengths quickly with a measuring tape and came to a rough estimate of my own of $ 130. I figured $ 155 was likely right given that I had done a slap dash job of measuring.
He came when he said he would come in a clearly marked van. He was the man pictured. I thought that the posting of his photo on Unilocal was helpful, since he was coming to my home; I liked knowing who to expect at the door. He was very nice, quickly received my knives, took them into his van where he did his work, and came back 45 minutes later with sharp knives and a total.
My knives are sharp. It’s a great service.

Steve at Premier Sharpening is a master at his craft, quick, easy, efficient, and professional.

Although not to scarysharp™ standards, I am having to watch to make sure I do not shave my fingernails into the salad as my chef’s knife is so sharp.
I gave him three different types of steel and each knife meant for a specific use that determines the bevel angle and shape of the blade. Everything came out as good as any time in past in Houston and my Old Hickory is carving goose and pork like it was warm butter.
He even managed to partial correct my Japanese knife from the terrible job done by the previous guy.
Good job guys.
