Great job sharpening our knives.
By Deborah
Beautiful store in Belmont. It's out of the way for me but very much worth it - it only took 2 days and my knives were way sharper than the mobile service I've been using in the past.

attentive and flexible, they applied the generous end-of-season discount to exactly the outdoor furniture pieces i wanted. and then the owner himself showed up to assemble it in my backyard!

Local Root did a terrific job sharpening our knives. They’re like new. Local Root was quick, friendly, and it was a breeze to park. My knives came back in safety sleeves which was an added plus. I’d highly recommend them.
