Fairhope, Alabama

Fairhope cooks and gardeners, this one is for you.

Fairhope is about 20 minutes south of our shop along US-98 or Scenic 98.

Downtown restaurants, the French Quarter and the Municipal Pier make it a serious food town.

From Montrose to Point Clear and Fly Creek, the drop box is an easy errand on the way to Daphne.

Fairhope gardens bloom most of the year, so pruners and hedge shears earn their sharpening too.

  • 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.
