"Just wanted to say that I’m so glad to have found Tony. I was nervous about sending out my Kenchii shears to somebody out of town after not finding anywhere in Omaha to sharpen them. Not only did he sharpen them, but they were pretty busted from being dropped and he returned them in PERFECT condition. They’re my go to pair of shears now. He also did an amazing job with the blades that I’ve had sharpened so far and even sells refurbished blades th..."

"Highly recommend! We recently purchased a dog grooming business in Omaha and Prairie Sharpening serviced this shop before and we have maintained his services for clipper blades, scissors and repairs and he is extremely professional, very efficient, great pricing and has provided us with much knowledge about grooming equipment. He is easy to communicate with, punctual and very helpful to us and our groomers. 5*"

Elissa Huff

"Very impressed with this service. I have been grooming for about thirteen years and use several different people. He is super fast, polite and it's the job done well. I have never had any issues with my tools not being sharpened. I will always recommend him to anyone! His prices are very reasonable. Do yourself a favor and call prairie Sharpening, next time you need something sharpened"

Jessica Singleton

"Absolutely LOVE this company, I’m a high volume groomer and do a number on my scissors and blades, not only were sharpened amazingly, they were all cleaned immaculately and piled, I will never ever ever trust another sharpener with my equipment you 100% have my business for life! Also double bonus, he comes to you and brings them back with a 2 day turnover! Thank you again!"

"Habitat is a 5 Star shopping experience, whether I'm making a larger purchase or want a small gift for someone that's important to me. When I am gift giving I can always find a unique piece that is excellent quality, and appealing, at an affordable price. Often I just shop at Habitat , because it's a nice little break from the outside world. Right now I'm on beach vacation at the beach, and I packed my little non-metal knife that makes it possi..."

"Lucky Cat Sharpening provides an excellent sharpening service! I appreciated the different levels of service, the ease of drop off and pickup, and great communication. Two of the knives I had sharpened are considered "super steel." Challenging blades to sharpen and get the edge shaving sharp. Sam let me know when to expect them and delivered not only on timeframe but, the edge and service received was professional and exceed my expectations. I hi..."

Trevor Kreuzberg

"I had my Kershaw Random Leek and my chef’s knife sharpened by Sam and the results were fantastic. My leek pops through heavy braid fishing line and 3-ply cardboard like a hot knife through butter. Getting a legit edge on my chef’s knife has leveled up my kitchen game as well. Can’t recommend Lucky Cat enough, will definitely return!"

Matthew Alesio

"Sam is a disciple of steel. His knowledge and experience with Carbon, Alloy, Stainless, and Tool steels is unmatched. Sam has sharpened many knives for me, from run of the mill kitchen knives to family heirloom folding knives and everything in between. You will not find better for quality, convenient, and elite sharpening services."

Bryan Adams

"I would suggest everyone go get your knives sharpened by this cool cat! From quick turnaround time to great customer service you won’t get better. Please don’t wait your food will thank you. Super easy drop off service! Also will pickup if needed I believe!"

"Jeff Brehm in the archery section was so helpful when my friend was picking out a crossbow for her son. He was so knowledgeable and very pleasant. Being a hunter himself, he was able to give recommendations for kids based on his experience with his kid. 100% recommend if anyone needs any help with bow hunting, ask for Jeff!!"

Gage Tighe

"Great Archery staff. Edit 8 months later, I bought my bow from Scheels because the service and tuning was free even after my purchase. I went in today to get my bow tuned like I was told I could do for free and they are now charging $50 per paper tune. I was previously a huge fan, but will likely purchase elsewhere now that this isnt included."

Kevin Cassel

"The staff there are always very helpful. Went there today to look at some archery equipment. They answered all of my questions and I was able to test out the equipment in their range before deciding to purchase."

Dalton

"Very disappointed. I had a shoe held for me so I spent two hours round trip to go pick it up only for them to tell me an hour later when I arrived that they sold the shoe that was held for me. Very sad I drove two hours to not get something that I was told I would be able to buy. This shoe department is really undermanaged too. Kids answer phones and don’t know the shoe just for me to drive and go find them in my size. Terrible"
