How Madam Cutler's Onsite Knife Sharpening Works
Bring your knives, scissors, and hand pruners (clean!) to one of my locations, then grocery shop or run errands. I'll text you when your items are ready to take home
1. Please wrap knives. Putting knives in an oven mitt is an easy method.
Also, place in a cardboard box. Fold knives in a dishtowel. See gallery below for wrapping examples. For my safety and yours, make sure tips are covered and do not poke through the wrapping material.
2. On a piece of paper, legibly write:
- Name
-phone number (I will text you when the knives are ready)
-Email Address (if you want to receive fall, winter, and spring/summer newsletter)
-Total number of items
-Secure the label around the wrapped knives with rubber band, string or tape.
-Preferred payment: Cash or Venmo. Accept Cards (+ 3% credit card fee)
How long is the wait?
First come, first serve, so the wait is dependent on how many knives you bring and how many customers are ahead of you. Serrated knives and scissors will require additional time as they are sharpened by hand. Some people drop-off and come back a couple hours later.
