"I grew up in a family of cooks, and I've been cooking since I was a kid. The importance of a sharp knife was drilled in early, the value of a knife that was built to last, and built to hold an edge was drilled in early - a sharp knife is always safer than a dull one. I've got a couple of Wüsthof chef's knives, a 6" and 8" - that I've had for about 15 years. Through these 15 years I've tried every method of sharpening, professional, pull through..."
"I needed 7 kitchen knives sharpened by a professional as previous home DIY attempts were less than ideal. Contacted Johnny by text and he was quick to respond and I was able to set up a drop off time the same day. Fast forward a couple hours and I now have 7 renewed kitchen knives sharper than the day they were made - all at a very reasonable price. I would absolutely recommend imPECKably Sharp to anyone."
"Johnny, the owner, was prompt in responding to my inquiry about getting my mower blades and kitchen knives sharpened. I ended up only getting my mower blades sharpened as I didn't have a good way of transporting my kitchen knives (FYI, will be just putting them in a box next time as he will put individual sleeves on the knives when he returns them to you after sharpening). His estimate for when my blades would be done was very reasonable and acc..."
"Company name really does say it all. I took a number of kitchen knives and scissors to johnny for sharpening, having gotten frustrated with my fumbling ability to keep them sharpened. It was a simple drop off and estimate of turnaround time. In this case 24 hours. When I picked them up next day they were wrapped in butcher paper very professionally. Johnny warned me they would be very sharp. Yep! Indeed they were. I nicked my finger that very d..."

"I would recommend Matt to sharpen skates to everyone in that area. See below: We were in Kentucky for a tournament recently and I needed to get my son's skates RE-sharpened. The rink sharpener (I know better usually) messed the skates up. I needed to find someone to make things right. Skate Sharpening by Kozy came up on Google. I called and Matt said to bring them by. He took his time and made them about as perfect as they could be. He made mult..."
"Wow! I am so pleased with mathews sharpening skills. I own numerous kitchen knives that I use on a daily basis for work. I brought them to Mathew and recieved them back the very next day. The angle was precise and the knives were razor sharp as well as a beautiful polish. I could not have been more pleased. The price is quite affordable as well. I will be bringing my business back often and I suggest that who's reading this does the same."
"Super nice, very knowledgeable! We were here from Baltimore, Maryland for a tournament. The rink sharpened my son’s skates incorrectly and Kozy allowed us to show up “after hours” to get them re-sharpened and fixed! My son said they felt great the next game and had no complaints! Thank you, Kozy!!!"
"Matt was fantastic and extremely accommodating to my schedule. Not only did Matt sharpen my hockey skates, he also took the time to show me via pictures how my old skates were a little off angle. He corrected it for me as well! I seriously recommend taking your skates to Matt for sharpening, he did a really great job and I'll certainly be using Matt exclusively for any sharpening needs here on out."

"Williams Sonoma has quickly become my go-to destination for anything I need in the kitchen/cookware, dining accessories, and especially all things coffee. The quality of their products is unmatched, and the cooking lessons are an added bonus that make the whole experience even better. What truly sets them apart is the outstanding customer service. We really enjoy working with Melissa, she’s knowledgeable, friendly, and always makes sure we leave..."
"Be careful if you ever order any food items from Williams Sonoma they sent me the wrong item, an item worth much less than what I ordered….they want me to send the perishable food items BACK to them, then they’ll send me MY order (which I’ve already waited over a week for). Makes me wonder how many times they send perishable food back out when they get it sent back. They won’t give you the correct order OR a refund until they get the wrong order ..."
"Just had an incredibly disappointing experience here, 1/8/21. The Google listing says open until 9, however instantly upon walking in a man rudely and loudly met us at the door and told us they closed in 5 minutes, and asked whether their was anything we precisely wanted to find. We apologized and mentioned we thought it was 9 (due to Google) and he was clearly disgruntled and firmly said “it’s 8 on our website” before leaving promptly. We were ..."
"This review is directed towards the older, short haired, blonde employee working at this location. Each time I go into the store, I am given the cold shoulder by this lady. Once I was in there to buy a baking dish and she did not greet me (likely because I’m younger and maybe didn’t look like a rich housewife), but a mid 30s lady walked in directly after and was greeted with a smile on her face. I left and ordered from crate and barrel instead. T..."
