Keith made it very easy to work with him, plenty of pmt options and flexible schedule. My knives were completed in less than 24hrs and returned to me all with blade covers. I highly recommend Keith Nix for all your knife sharpening needs!Report
Keith did an amazing job on my kitchen knives and was very responsive when I reached out to him. My knives were ready quickly and are now razor sharp. What a great service to have in Black Mtn!Report
Went to Keith for sharpening our chef and pairing knives. He did fantastic work and was such a pleasure to work with. Definitely will be going to him regularly!Report
If you value true craftsmanship with a little mountain history, Keith Nix is your man. With an engineer’s brain and an artist’s heart, he can make your dream knife come true. I ordered a Pig Skinner knife for my uncle’s birthday, and it is absolutely gorgeous and ready for adventures. I was fortunate to be able to visit his shop and see where the magic happens. He couldn’t have been nicer to work with on this special gift.Report
My knifes are so sharp! Keith is fast and knows what's he's doing. The price is great and it feels like I have all new knifes again. Also got my sizzors done this time and they work like a breeze.Report
Excellent service on my kitchen knives. One was bent at the tip and heel, and he straightened those spots, too. Crazy sharp, fast, and inexpensive compared to sending them off somewhere. Thanks Keith!Report
Keith sharpened our kitchen shears, knives, and garden pruning tools.Report
They now have a razor edge. Turn around time was quick and the price fair for quality work. Locally owned and operated.
Thanks Keith for sharpening 5 pairs of scissors at a great price. Everything from kitchen scissors to fabric scissors. Now they cut like brand new and I had them back in a day.Report
Got a few knives sharpened as a birthday gift for my dad. Keith was great to work with and had the knives turned around really fast. My dad was shocked that his formerly dull knives were able to cut through walnuts like butter. Would definitely recommend.Report
