“Erik's work is meticulous, exacting, and--needless to say--sharp! His natural instinct for customer service, combined with an intuitive understanding of points and edges, makes his work worth every penny. "

—Adeena Sussman,  food writer and recipe expert

 
 

“Erik did a truly amazing job on my collection of knives, from wide chef’s knives to serrated knives. I had previously had them sharpened by one of the old-school trucks—but the so-called “sharpening” was more like a “butchering”...I was afraid my knives were ruined, but Erik didn’t just bring them back to life, he made them sharper and stronger than ever. I’m never sharpening with anyone else, and I’ve recommended Erik and VikingSharp to many professional restaurant chefs I work with.”
