Excellent service!!
I would recommend this service to anyone.

I sent off a number of hunting knives recently and got them back in well under a week and to say they're sharp is an understatement!!

Give The Knife & Scissor Sharpening Service a try and you won't be disappointed.

I was most impressed with this service,not only did my hunting knives come back very sharp,but also with the speed of them getting back to me.From Aberdeenshire and back within 48 hrs cant ask for better than that.

I live in France and I was very pleased to find that I was able to get my thicknesser blades sharpened and returned to me all in less than 10 days - and more cheaply than having them sharpened here.

I'm the idiot whose Global knife is highlighted third on the photos page with the one in 'very poor' condition after I hacked at a bone with the knife. I had written it off as a lost cause but came across Robin's website and saw what was possible, sent off my complete set of knives and just got them back, three days later. I'm quite honestly amazed that this sort of service still exists, at such a reasonable price and at the results. Fantastic, keep up the good work!

Hi Robin
Just to say all the knives were really sharp. The service was excellent and you also repaired the broken tip for free. Thanks so much. I'll be back in touch if i need anything else sharpened.

Sent two Global knives for sharpening on Wednesday, received them back on Monday sharp enough to shave with. Excellent service and a lot cheaper than buying new knives!
From: Carl Emary from Cardiff (Fri 30th Jul 2010 at 19:38)

From: Stephen Butcher from Bedfordshire (Fri 30th Jul 2010 at 19:25)
Three gentleman's pocket knives received from a bespoke custom knife maker are now razor sharp thanks to Robin - will be using your services again!
From: Paul Brown from Cardiff (Tue 20th Jul 2010 at 15:18)

From: David Packham from Timsbury (Wed 23rd Jun 2010 at 19:53)
Excellent service: Robin gave a new life to some venerable garden shears which were very much the worse for wear, and put a new edge on my carving knife. Reasonable charges.
From: Lisa Kemmer from London (Wed 23rd Jun 2010 at 09:41)
What excellent service! I sent my kitchen knives to Robin and he sharpened them brilliantly and returned them within 24 hours. Much better than my local hardware store, which takes 2 weeks to sharpen knives! I will definitely use Robin again and recommend him to others.
From: Terry Palmer from Wantage, Oxfordshire (Wed 23rd Jun 2010 at 07:04)
Whilst kitchen knives are not the ‘tools of our trade’ for my Wife and I, over the years we have invested in a set of very expensive Shun Kaji blades so as you can imagine, the thought of someone putting them on a ‘grindstone’ was quite off putting. Needs must though and the service, expertise, care and professionalism delivered by Robin meant all our fears were non-founded!

I was able to take the knives to Robin’s workshop and watched as he carefully restored each knife to razor (and I do mean razor!) sharpness, polishing and finally degreasing each with equal care.

If anyone has any concerns about the care, attention or value for money that Robin offers forget it! We will definitely be a long term customer and can not recommend the service enough.

Thanks Robin!
From: Bob Levine from Deal, Kent. (Mon 14th Jun 2010 at 20:24)
Thanks Robin for a really quick, efficient and friendly service. The knives are now superb!
From: greg roskell from Preston (Thu 10th Jun 2010 at 14:33)
I sent a selection of work and hunting knives to Robin to have them re-honed. I found the service from first contact to receiving the knives back was first class, and the knives.....well, like new. I would use their services again and have no reservations around recommending them.

Greg.
From: Sarah Peto Bostick from Chippenham (Sat 15th May 2010 at 19:45)
Delighted to recommend Robin who provides a first-class service. Super fast, cost-effective and lovely sharp knives again! What more could you ask for?
From: Paul Brown from Cardiff (Fri 30th Apr 2010 at 13:36)
thanks robin it came back amazingly sharp and polished to mirror shine..a true master at work..AAAAA++++++++++
From: Pippa Rhys (Wed 3rd Mar 2010 at 08:54)
My husbands global knife had a huge chip in the blade and had not been used for years. I sent the knife to Robin and he quickly restored it to former glory! The blade is better than new and the service Robin supplied was second to none!
From: Terence McCoy from Bath (Mon 15th Feb 2010 at 16:25)
My large kitchen knife was in very poor condition, so I took it to Robin, and while I waited, he restored it to its original sharpness. He gave very good value for money and I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Robin responded for my request for a quick service with ease and politeness.

I was with him as he worked (in ever growing cold conditions) and he kept me fully informed of what he was doing with each knife, and why, throughout the whole process. His communication skills are to be admired.

I had 5 knives sharpened this afternoon and have already enjoyed the experience of using some of them.

I will certainly use him again and have no hesitation in recommending him.

All I can do is thank him for the very good service I have received.

A really fantastic service from Robin. Very quick and my knives have come back like razor blades. He is also a very good communicator. I'll be using his service again for sure! Thank you.
From: Don (Sun 31st Jan 2010 at 22:44)
Excellent service and quick, no hassle turnaround via post. Recommended.
From: Lisa (Wed 27th Jan 2010 at 06:44)
Fantastic service. Amongst the knives that I had treated, a couple of them in particular were very blunt and they have literally been transformed. I would not hesitate to recommend Robin to anyone.
From: Mike Lisser (Tue 26th Jan 2010 at 20:45)
We used the postal service. Brilliant, fast turnaround and knives like new again. Thank you.
From: Paul Barrett (Wed 20th Jan 2010 at 14:51)
An excellent service, knives are like new again. Very quick turnaround time and quality service, many thanks.
From: Scott (Tue 19th Jan 2010 at 10:59)
what an amazing service - 6 knives sharpened for 15 quid! To replace them, it would have cost about £150. Fantastic value for money.
From: Patrick (Sat 26th Dec 2009 at 18:06)
Robin provides the best service your professional knives can have.
It is the second time I had my knives serviced in one year and once again they are sharper than ever. Twice I have been received with very short notice and have been able to watch him working, very interesting.
The level of service has been increased since my first visit with the three recently added polishing/ finishing wheels giving the knives an extra absolute finish and shine (sorry if I don't use the proper technical words!).
Robin's great customer care, his passion for sharpening, drive for perfection and very competitive pricing are all reasons why he provides the best service a blade would dream of! There isn't anyone in my area to provide such a level of service and I would definitely and happily do the 30 miles again when needed.
I highly recommend The Knife Sharpening Service to any chef who really cares about his knives (you should see what he can do with a blunt Global knife ! ) and to any professional or passionate DIY with a blade.

Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job on my five kitchen knives, I will be returning with my carving set. It does make work easier with good tools. I had forgotten how nice it is to have a really sharp knife.

From: Darren Strange (Sun 13th Dec 2009 at 08:30)
Was about to buy a new set of knives as mine were chipped and I could never get them sharp. Then I found Robin's service and gave it a go. Its incredible - they are now even sharper than new! We dropped them off, did a quick shop around Bath and picked them up on our way home. A fast and friendly service! Perfect! Many thanks, Darren
From: michelle tyler (Fri 4th Dec 2009 at 15:14)

From: Christina Maxwell - Scotland, Perthshire (Mon 16th Nov 2009 at 11:18)
My knives were returned today, wonderfully sharp. Thank you very much indeed. Sorry about the 10p...will add it on to the next lot! I'll be sending another lot soon and will get my daughter (who is a chef) to recommend you to the other chefs she works with.
From: Ray (Tue 10th Nov 2009 at 09:45)
In my job as a bushcraft and survival instructor, I use my knives on a constant basis, and need them to be very sharp.
I took a few knives to Robin in need of urgent sharpening, and he did them while I waited (thank you for that Robin). when he had finished with them, they were razor sharp once more, and had all of the nicks and burrs removed from the blades, allowing them to keep their new keen edge for longer.
From: Felicia Lapraik (Tue 10th Nov 2009 at 09:36)
Great service, quick (less than 24 hours), very reasonable rates and really 'touch' sharp! Has made my food preparation so much easier.
From: Mike Constantinou (Mon 9th Nov 2009 at 10:18)
Sent a set of global knives to be sharpened. Recieved them back quickly. Knives are as sharp as brand new, great job!!!
From: Devin (Sat 24th Oct 2009 at 20:50)
Great job done,
A couple of old chisels and Grandad’s plane brought back to life, quickly and at only a fraction of the cost to replace.
Thanks Robin.
From: Dan Evans (Wed 16th Sep 2009 at 19:41)
I phoned Robin the organiser yesterday afternoon and said that we have four knives that need to be sharpened urgently. He said I could come at once to his workshop: he was extremely helpful and very likeable and polite. His work was certainly to a very high standard. Thank you!

From: Piers Newton (Thu 21st May 2009 at 18:01)
Excellent service. Worn out kitchen knives brought back to life. Very quick (24 hours) and good value.
From: Luke Trott from Bristol (Sun 26th Apr 2009 at 22:13)
Just want to say great service. I had 38 knives that needed to be done and a few were like spoons but they have been brought back just like new. I will be telling alot of other chefs about this great service.
