How it is done
From dull to done.
The same careful steps on a paring knife or a mower blade. Coarse to fine, every time.
Look it over
Every blade is checked first for chips, broken tips, rolled edges and its factory angle.
Set the angle
The bevel is corrected only where it needs it, so the blade keeps its shape.
Sharpen
A controlled grind brings back a clean, even edge without overheating the steel.
Polish
The edge is refined and polished so it cuts smoothly and holds up longer.
Test and return
Each edge is checked by hand before it goes back. Not happy? The job is free.

Five stars, in their words.
Rated 5.0 across 80 Google reviews. A few of them, word for word.
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.
Knives sharpened on the spot
Eric was prompt to respond and sharpened my knives on the spot!!!! He was a wealth of knowledge as I had many questions!!!! Can’t wait to chop some onions with my razor sharp benchmade. Thanks Eric
