We are very happy with the 3 kitchen knives we had sharpened at the Belmont Local Root store. It is such a joy to cut and dice vegetables and meats - especially now I can get back to cooking in the cool weather. We are impressed with the turnaround time of 48 hours in getting back our knives. Thank you!!!!
