Knife Stores in Alexandria, Virginia

"Paul did a great job with our old knives. We’ve had a set of Wusthof knives for 30 years, and had never had them properly sharpened. We have tried sharpening them ourselves over the years, but they never really seemed sharp. Finally, I sent them to Alexandria Knife Sharpening, and they are like new again. Paul even fixed the broken off tip of our chef’s knife and the bent tip of our paring knife so that I can’t even tell they were ever damaged. ..."

"Amazing experience with Alexandria Knife Sharpening! We used them to sharpen my parents knives (that haven't been sharpened since they bought them 20+yrs ago) and they did a fantastic job. My parents cannot believe what a difference it makes and keep sending us videos and pictures of them slicing through watermelon, tomatoes, you name it! It was a super easy process to ship the knives and get them back. I would highly recommend using Alexandria K..."

"I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Alexandria Knife Sharpening & Laser Engraving. Paul did a fantastic job taking my very dull Chicago Cutlery knives and returning them to their former glory. He was so kind as to polish the full metal handles as well. The turnaround time was quick and I have enjoyed using them these past few weeks to prepare the myriad dishes leading up to Thanksgiving. I will definitely be returning with a..."

"I can’t say enough good things about Paul and his work. What started as a simple request, engraving initials on a gift, quickly became something far more meaningful. After talking with Paul, it was clear he understood how important this gift was, and he went above and beyond to find and adapt custom artwork specifically for it. The final result was absolutely spectacular, and he turned it around incredibly fast. The gift went from special to unf..."

"I sent Victor details of what I was looking for - sharpening of seven knives of various sizes - looking for a quote. He got back to me within an hour with the information I was looking for. I asked if it would be alright for me to bring the knives by in the next 20-30 minutes pretty early on a Saturday morning, and Victor said no problem. I dropped them off and went on my way. On Monday, within the time frame he quoted me, he had sharpened my kn..."

"Wow! Artisan Knife Services (Victor) does not disappoint. I sent him a mixed box of eight German, Swedish, and Japanese kitchen and fillet knives. All in desperate need of sharpening, and a couple in need of polishing. All returned finely honed, and razor sharp (or possibly sharper) with a smooth consistent edge. The polishing is beautiful, and a bit addictive. Now I want all of my knives to look back at me like that! The transaction was easy a..."

"I loved my kitchen knife. It was perfect in every way except the rotten wood handle. I wasn't able to get the same kind of knife anywhere. Therefore, I asked Victor to make a custom handle that looked just like the old one. He made one with solid durable wood and it looks just like the old one! Exceptional workmanship indeed. He let me borrow a loaner knife when my knife was under repair. He sharpened my knife free of charge. Top notch custome..."

"Recently, I had all but one of my knives sharpened at a local chain store. The last knife needed repair, so I brought it here. A microscope revealed that my “sharpened” knives had been beveled in that the original blade angle had been distorted. In just a couple of hours, my damaged knife was like new again. Don’t trust your knives to just anyone. Protect your investment with the professional sharpening at Artisan Knife Services."
