"An amazing & adorable little shop, also amazing & adorable are the staff that work here, I had the pleasure of being assisted by Styers (aka the Batwoman of knife sharpening), a lovely woman who clearly took pride in her craft. I was here for only a few days for a wedding at the Roanoke hotel, Styers serviced two knifes I had damaged and because of time limits took one of them home with her so it would be finished before I left on Monday! Here's ..."

"Amazing customer service from the time I walked in. No hard sale, just genuine customer engagement. The store located downtown has a lot of your baking needs which I’m now doing more cooking at home. They have quality items at prices I would expect. Considering the store is pretty small they have good inventory. Although I was just browsing I did make a purchase. I would recommend and would return next time in town."

Ryan Montalvo

"I had an issue with a Le Cruset that I got as a gift and the owner and manager were AMAZING!! They were extremely helpful and wonderful and gracious with me. I appreciated their help so much and I’ll be shopping there as much as I can. They also did an amazing job sharpening my kitchen knives. Love it there. Can’t speak highly enough about the shop in downtown Roanoke."

Leslie Rueff

"They’ve been so helpful as we slowly build up quality kitchen wares. We started with some basic knives and cast iron, which has served us very well and as we need new pieces they have excellent recommendations and will order anything they do not have. Knife sharpening is easy and all the staff are friendly, smart, and helpful."

"This is a great place for all your sharpening needs. I took a set of DULL lathe chisels there and dropped them off a week ago. I went back today and picked up a set that I could shave with. If they hadn't been in the same box and had the same handles I would swear that I have a completely different set now. The cost was also less than I expected, especially for such workmanship. I will be going back there for all my sharpening needs (that I can't..."

Jeff Conner

"I have been having them sharpen my mower blades for the past few years. Never had a better cut on my lawn. I also took them my Grandfathers Chef Knife to polish and sharpen. Although I had probably not taken the best care it, they did a really great job with it. Note they also sharpen industrial grade wood working blades, etc. I would highly recommend them for any of your sharpening needs."

Calvin Cassell

"I'm most thankful that they are still providing this tool sharping service. It so nice to not toss a good blade in the trash when these folks can bring it back to cut as well as it did when it was new. Their service allows me to buy good quality blades that can last a life time. They are good at what they do!"

Sondra Daroshefski

"Don’t buy new stuff! Great people and excellent service! Took two pairs of sewing scissors to be sharpened, beautifully sharpened and returned in a protective cardboard sleeve."

"This review is regarding the handgun safety course from the perspective of a woman veteran with many years of firearms training. Instead of the unsolicited, extremely sexist and political Ted Talk wrapped in the faux cover of instruction, why don't you present a to-the-point and professional safety course to paying customers? You are going to have people of all sexes, races, and backgrounds taking this course for a multitude of reasons. It is fin..."

"I went in yesterday (Sunday) and the woman who was checking people in was phenomenal. Super friendly, helpful, warm. I wish I remembered her name. Jackson (the range safety officer) was also super helpful. He helped me with my stance and grip, in an instructive way. I’m still relatively new at shooting, but I did not feel like an idiot when he was helping me. I just felt like I got a little bit better because of his assistance. The guys at the re..."

"Rented some full auto firearms for me and two other individuals for an hour; while they were undoubtedly pretty cool, it's hard for me to recommend this place. Some background: everything was prepaid and ready to go, despite being quoted two different sets of prices in two separate calls. Person I spoke to on the phone didn't seem certain he knew which guns were available for rent (said there was a "grease gun" aka the M3 but later said it was ac..."

Daniel Fields

"I think a one star rating is fair, because technically I got the certificate that I came for. I attended a basic handgun safety class on December 10th. It was a two and a half hour class, and despite not being new to handguns, I was hoping I would receive some new and helpful information as I explored the possibility of concealed carrying. Based on my experienced, if condensed, the course consisted of MAYBE a half hour of actual, objective disc..."
