What customers have said about our sharpening services:
Ken was amazing from beginning to end. Contacted him when visiting Halifax from Cape Breton, based on the reviews of his sharpening service. Reviews were all 5 stars and absolutely true. He was responsive ( had 18 knives sharpened and repaired within 24 hours); the knives are very sharp and a pleasure to use; he fully explained what he would do in the sharpening process when I dropped the knives off; his prices were great; and he explained how to store and self sharpen the knives after each use. Great job Ken! Will definitely be a repeat customer.
Maritime Sharpening, Ken Lunders offers excellent service. My knives were sharpened well and are now so easy to use, all within 24 hours. Prices are very reasonable. Ken follows up by teaching you how to properly use, and, store your knivesI highly recommend!
I was very pleased with both the sharpening quality and amazing customer service. Ken is very knowledgeable and passionate about his knife sharpening skills. He even took the time to share some tips and showed me the proper way to maintain my blades using a sharpening rod. The quality is much higher than experience with precious knife sharpeners. I will definitely be returning as customer. Thanks Ken!
Great service from Ken! We got our axe and hatchets sharpened first. They turned out fantastically sharp and we appreciate Ken’s advice on proper use and storage of sharpened tools. We also got our kitchen knives done by Ken. He also did an excellent job with those, and by the next day. It’s changed our cooking experience having well sharpened knives! Can highly reccomended without reservation:)
Ken from Maritime Sharpening did an amazing job putting an 30° edge on my new axe. I called him around 1 to see if he was able to do it, and I picked it up by 5. Great service and very reasonably priced!
Ken was excellent. He responded immediately and then had all our knives ready in no time. You can instantly tell he knows knives and is extremely passionate about their service and care. What a joy it is to use knives so sharp well serviced! Pricing was also more than reasonable. Ken is our knife guy! High recommended!
Ken from Maritime Sharpening was very knowledgeable and professional and had the 2 knives I took to him sharpened beautifully in just a couple of hours. Highly recommend for all your sharpening needs
Incredibly happy with the service provided. Quick turnaround and our garden tools are like new again. We‘ll be taking our kitchen knives over to Maritime Sharpening in the future.
I was ready to purchase a new pocket knife because my favorite knife was so beaten up, so I decided to give Ken a try. He now has a lifelong customer in me. When he returned my knife it was better than when it was brand new. Ken is extremely knowledgeable in the art of sharpening and is a true professional.
Amazing quick and professional service. Our garden tools have never looked so good and been so sharp. Highly recommend . Thank you
All we can say is WOW!! 💕Ken took our set of 15 year old, mediocre grade knives, and completely transformed them!!Hubs is beyond ecstatic (does most of the cooking) and says they are sharper now than when they were brand new! Even the chips and bent tips are gone!We also got excellent advice re how to keep the knives sharp and how to "hone". 😊Very highly recommend Maritime Sharpening and will be taking my gardening tools there, too, soon!! Major bang for your buck!This pic is the before pic...
I contacted Ken to get some kitchen knives sharpened. Over the phone and in person he was always courteous and Ken has a very good knowledge about knives, which he will be happy to share along with some tips of how to extend their lives.The time he took to complete the task was very satisfactory and he got the job done right.We love to cook in our family. Over time and with regular use our knives became dull. It’s so satisfying and enjoyable to be able to cut effortlessly.Go see Ken, he’ll make you love your knives again.
Ken did a fabulous job sharpening my knives and provided me with excellent guidance regarding how to care for them. His wealth of knowledge was kindly shared and much appreciated. A true craftsman.
Ken was very professionalExtremely reasonable in priceHe sharpened three knives that were twenty years oldThese knives are used every day and are so pleased that they are back in top conditionThanks Karen and Andre
I wanted to wait until I used all the knives that Maritime did for me on Jan 22nd and I couldn’t be anymore excited about using these since day 1, hands down the best sharpening skills I’ve ever seen.Highly recommend
Wonderful service! Quick, reasonably priced and bloody sharp :)Ken's a pleasure to work with, I'll definitely be back
I am so happy to have discovered Maritime Sharpening. The rates are very reasonable. More important, Ken was so interested and knowledgeable about my knives. As a result, they have been sharpened to perfection. Such a pleasure to use!Ken also gave me lots of practical advice about knife care.I can’t imagine taking my knives anywhere else.
I contacted Ken to see if anything could be done to save my husband's favourite knife, which had been quite damaged. He responded quickly and thoroughly explained how he would repair it. I dropped it off for service and Ken had it finished very promptly. The result is a beautifully restored knife that cuts better than ever. Throughout the process Ken has shown he is a true professional- passionate about his craft, highly skilled, organized and personable. I would highly, highly recommend Maritime Sharpening!
My kitchen knives have never cut so good and Ken was very helpful giving me tips for maintenance! Highly recommend!
The knife sharpening technician (Ken) is truly a pro. Very helpful and responsive. It is a real pleasure having someone with real passion for his craft. Highly recommend Maritime Sharpening for all your knives and scissors.
We had Ken sharpen 4 knives for us, and he did a great job! Friendly, knowledgeable, and fair pricing! We are very happy with the results and certainly recommend him to everyone we know!
First of all, Ken was a very responsive, friendly and professional guy. He sharpened all three of my axes/hatchets in a very short period of time and did an excellent job. One of my forest axes had quite a knick in it from bring dropped on a hard surface, and he managed to bring it back to a uniform edge. He even sent me a video of the newly sharpened axe cutting a single piece of newspaper on its edge. I will most definitely be returning to him in the future!! Thanks again Ken.Dan 🙂
Ken did a great job! Super sharp blades for holiday cooking. I really appreciated how fast and responsive he was. Super easy. And a very fair price! I’ll be bring my knives back when needed for sure!
I had 5 knives sharpened by Ken.Very friendly service. He had them ready on time as promised and the knives were super sharp. My Mac knife needed some TLC and Ken was able to restore a flawless edge to the blade. Used all of them over the holidays and I was impressed. Will use Ken again and recommend his services.
I was very impressed with Ken’s friendly attitude and prompt service.He is very knowledgeable and has exceptional skills when it comes to putting an edge on your knife. I took seven knives to him on my first visit and he had an amazing edge on them all in less than a day! Dropped off two pairs of scissors when I picked up the knives and they were ready the next day.He provides a great product with exceptional service.Highly recommend him.
I gave Ken 3 knives...2 to sharpen and one that was a total mess, broken tip, no edge at all. What I got back were 3 razor sharp knives with the messed up one looking like a brand new knife. Highly recommend this company for your sharping needs
