excellent results!

We always get our knives sharpened at Local Root. On time, super-sharp, and great customer service. You can't go wrong there.

I had 3 knives sharpened, for the first time, and they are amazing to use! It was a 48-h turnaround and they did a great job. I will now do this yearly.

I highly recommend Local Roots for all sharpening needs. The turnaround time was quick and the knives were expertly sharpened.

I brought my one of a kind, handmade, Japanese chef knife if for sharpening and was thrilled with the result. I paid a few dollars extra for the hand sharpening which still seemed like an extremely fair price for the result. My knife came back extremely sharp and was well cared for. No question I will bring my knives here in the future for sharpening.

I have had my 2 chef's knives (Henckels - standard and Shun - whetstone) sharpened at many different places over the last 10 years. Local Root did the best job by far. The knives look beautiful and cut like new. My mother was recently visiting from out of town and was so impressed she is planning to bring her knives on her next visit to get them sharpened at Local Root as well. I will be bringing my knives here from now on.

I had an excellent experience here getting my knives sharpened. I have three Wusthof knives- 1 chef's knife and two santoku knives. I love cooking and use them almost constantly. I dropped in and was attended to immediately. They were done in 48 hours and very considerately sheathed for safe transport. The quality of the work was exceptional and they really could not have made the process any more simple. They also included a small card with tips on how to take good care of my knives on a daily basis, which I appreciated a lot. Very fair pricing and excellent customer service. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to take good care of their knives.

Great customer service! Wonderful selections in the store! Had my knives sharpened and am delighted - quick turn around and very high quality! They are sharper than new!!

Not only does Jonathan do a great job with my knives, it’s a pleasure to go to the store and be surrounded by so many beautiful things. Highly recommend!

Great result. Efficient service.

My knives are sharp again and I am happy :)

knife sharpening services are THE BEST....after years of really poor knife sharpening gadgets and folks posing as knife sharpening experts, I tried Didriks with thought that I probable just needed new knives....wow, 30 plus year old Sabatier (sp?) knives are like brand new (and no one tried sell me new knives !)

From the store selections to the knife sharpening expertise, Local Root is a go-to destination for anyone who loves to cook.

Local root is a one stop shop for everything kitchen and dining related. I had my knife set sharpened before the holidays, and sharp knives make cooking SUCH a pleasure! LR has a quick 2 day turnaround time, and in the 3 times I brought knives (I like to stagger the sharpening so that I always have a few at home) I never had to wait. There is free parking in the back, and that makes this Belmont shop very easy to access!

I have been to Local Root a couple of times since its opening. Back when the Grand Opening was anticipated, they were handing out free knife sharpening cards at the Belmont Town Day. I held tight to that free card, and when I finally made it into the shop (which was over a year later), I was delighted to hear that the owner/manager fully intended to honor the complimentary service. I even impressed the manager with my ability to retain the card for such a long time. In any case, I brought in my favorite mini chef's knife, and I have been thrilled with the quality of the sharpening. It's better than new! Local Root has all the wonderful tools that make a cook want to browse for an or two. I look forward to returning.

The real deal! Thank you! I sent in all nine of my knives and they were sharpened perfectly. I had hesitated to get them sharpened, even though they needed it. But my sharpening steel just wasn't doing the job anymore. I didn't want the blades to be damaged or misshapen, and I read online horror stories of places that ruined knives while 'sharpening' them. But my knives came back better than new, and I happily chopped my way through Thanksgiving and am looking forward to Christmas cooking with my beautifully restored knives! Thank you!

The craftsman/sharpener was very accommodating, re-sharpened the knife in my presence when I felt it could be sharper. He even offered a third try by his own mentor, which I felt was unnecessary. Even though it cuts pretty well, I still feel this knife could be even sharper, but I am unsure whether this is possible with this particular quality of knife. Next time, I would try having it done my usual sharpener in the spring.

A wonderful store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent knife sharpening!

Best knife sharpening service. Use them for low angle Japanese knives, they come back alarmingly sharp! Fair price.

I was generally pleased, but the blade of my carving knife was discolored when we took it out of the sleeve to carve our turkey and after washing it is still di colored. It almost looks burnt.
