Home base: our shop and drop box are here

Daphne, Alabama

Daphne is home base.

Our shop sits on Amethyst Drive in the Diamante neighborhood, with the knife drop box out front.

From Lake Forest to Olde Towne Daphne and Belforest, most of town is ten to fifteen minutes away.

Daphne calls itself the Jubilee City, after the summer nights when fish and crabs crowd the bay shore.

That makes fillet knives a big deal here. Kitchen sets and yard tools are never far behind.

  • Fishing knives, done while he waited

    Called Eric and he told me to come on over. Sharpened my six fishing knives while I waited. Took maybe 15 minutes max. To say they are razor sharp would be an understatement. Plus…he is a very nice and personable guy. Highly recommend.

  • Kitchen and serrated knives

    Great service and incredibly fast! Even sharpened my serrated knife for me. Couldn't have asked for a higher quality job on my kitchen knives. The whole process was simple, easy, and I'll be going back when I need them done again.

  • Benchmade and fillet knives

    Eric with Sharpening Services of Alabama was top rate. My benchmade pocket knife and several filet knives are now razor sharp and finished in a very timely manner. Definitely recommend his services and I will be using him again.
