Knife Stores in Grand Rapids, Michigan

"I brought my 8 inch Lazer ice auger blades in for sharpening in anticipation of an early ice season. They were ready in one week for an extremely fair price. I made it out on the ice for the first time this past weekend, and they cut through like the proverbial hot knife through butter! I'll be dropping off my backups soon... Highly recommended!"

"Used to use them in Comstock Park. Just found that they moved to GR. Still the same awesome quality, value and quick work ! I brought my filthy dull chain saw chains in and got back clean, sharp and neatly packaged chains. So glad that there are still places with ethic and integrity.."

"Excellent and timely sharpening service and good advice on blade selection and use. A valuable service for those of us who want to maintain good tools, keep them sharp and safe, and avoid throw away culture."

"Bill’s Sharpening did a great job with 8 kitchen knives. They did 2 of them in less than 10 minutes when I dropped them off and had the remaining done in less than 2 days. Knives very sharp and I’ll be back when they need another sharpening."

"Johnny's food is quality! Great service and knowledgeable! You won't regret it"

"First time. Grabbed from the “take and go” cooler. A bit overpriced for a simple smaller wrap (10.25). But that’s not the reason for only 3 stars. After using self checkout and paying for what I thought was the total, and AFTER the charge had processed the screen informs me that a $0.86 service fee was added. Fees should be disclosed BEFORE charging me, so I have the option to continue or not. Yes, it’s only $0.86 cents, but that’s not the point..."

"Hey and I just want to pass on what a great experience Chef Johnny and his team are providing - food is top notch quality and their team is there to make sure our experience is always top notch. Many of our staff and partners have visited and all their comments have been extremely positive. Their commitment to excellence on a daily basis is hard and they are doing a great job in achieving that. Great job 5Knives !!!!"

"So happy this place is finally open!! Stopped in for their first week being open and talked with the owner and general manager who were very nice and explained everything to me. All the grab and go food has barcodes to scan and you can order food from their kitchen through a self ordering kiosk. I got some amazing sushi and an amazing steak sandwich... 10/10!!"

"True Edge did an expert sharpening job on my skates! My hockey team mates all said go to True Edge for skate sharpening done right. The other day I was actually planning to go there, but then my wife wanted to go to another part of town, and there was a nearby store that advertised sharpening, so I lazily just went to that place while she shopped elsewhere. That was a big mistake, lesson learned. The sharpening job from that other store made ..."

"He's the real deal and knows his stuff. Support these shops before it's just 17 year olds with Sparx machines"

"No doubt about it, Rich knows what he is doing. I have 100 percent confidence he could fix any problem anyone would throw at him. Best of all, his edges are so clean and true, I swear they not only feel great but last longer. Great service, great edges and awesome dog!!!"

"Been to various sharpening shops so I can say for sure Rich has completed some of the best sharpening I have ever had. He's full of knowledge & is more than helpful in improving your game. Thoroughly recommend Rich to anyone no matter what level you skate at."

"Had an unfortunate experience, giving two stars instead of 1 because it's Christmas time, but here's what happened. Messaged Matt telling him I was dropping knives (12/7) , got them "sharpened" and picked them up (12/12). Used them for about a week before realizing they were not actually sharpened. Contacted him and he said to bring them back (12/18) and they'd be sharpened before Christmas. Contacted the 23rd and he said they hadn't been at the ..."

"I am completely blown away by the truly skillful jobs “The Sharpening Guy” has just done on two of my brand-new knives. Although I am a professional woodworker, and have created finely-honed edges many thousands of times over more than fifty years, I did not feel capable of making the special “bushcraft” style edges I needed to have. The Profiles I asked to be made were perfect. The price charged was completely reasonable, and the time taken w..."

"Matt was so helpful. He went above and beyond to instruct me on how to maintain my knives at home, from storing them properly to sharpening them periodically. The knives are sharp--maybe even better than new--and cut through tough meat like butter. My knives were ready the next day so I didn't have to go without! He will be my go-to knife-guy from here on out."

"Excellent job! I can safely say that my knives weren’t this sharp new. Regular, santoku and serrated all wickedly sharp and I’m reminded why I spent the money on the knives in the first place. At least 2 of the 5 knives I had sharpened no longer had their points from being dropped into the sink. They have been restored! Worth every penny and I will take them back."

"Terrible customer service. Terrible. No greeting when we entered the store and also not any one of the 5 employees on the floor asked us if we needed any help. Even worst, was the checkout. First time in the store I stood at the checkout for about 5 minutes while 2 of the cashiers ran behind the counter and then back on the floor. Waited a couple more minutes and left. For some reason, I decided to give another shot because I needed something the..."

"I went into the Woodland store for the second time looking at the Delonghi Eletta Explore espresso machine. I wanted another demonstration of the cold brew and cold foam drink. The kind lady helping me out knew nothing of the machine, her ability really turned me off. But what’s the kicker here is the return policy. This lady could have been the best salesperson I’ve ever met, the return policy alone will make it so I never walk into that store a..."

"Returned an item with 10 minutes left until close of the store last Friday. The women who returned the item was so rude and could not comprehend why my surgeon husband did not keep the receipt and gave him a terrible time. Threw the fragile item on the counter that we were returning and was so horrible that I told her no need to bag our item because " I didn't want to disturb her anymore". She huffed and puffed multiple times and on the way ou..."

"I recently visited Williams Sonoma and unfortunately, I had a less than pleasant experience. While I appreciate attentive customer service, the staff member who attended to me was overly so, to the point of being intrusive. From the moment I entered the store, I felt like I was being watched and followed. The staff member was constantly hovering around me, offering unsolicited advice and recommendations. It felt more like surveillance than assis..."
