Local Root Belmont

Extremely friendly service, knife sharpening was great. The rest of the store looks wonderful as well. Will certainly be back - great local business in a nice area.

They do the Best knife sharpening and polishing. I highly recommend Local Root👍

What amazing service the Local Root offers for knife sharpening. I had a favorite knife that got used as a cleaver and the blade was damaged to the point I thought we might need to toss it out. Brought it to the local root and was repaired to just like new! Thanks so much for awesome service!

Great experience getting our knives sharpened. Very knowledgeable staff and everything was as expected and on time. Store also has a great selection of high end knives.

We got our knives sharpened here and are very happy we chose Local Root. Besides the store having everything you need for your kitchen, the knife sharpening was convenient and easy. They were ready within 48 hours and look brand new! We’ll definitely be bringing our knives back to Local Root!

Super customer service, great selection, fun store!

We had several of our knives sharpened here. Easy drop off/pickup process, reasonable prices, quality work. Very worth it! Keep your knives sharp people!

Took 3 nice knives to be sharpened—they did a great job and they also buffed out a sharp and melted part of one handle, where a knife had been left on a hot stovetop (without me mentioning it). 10/10

Love the store - really nice items for home/kitchen and great gifts. I regularly find things here that I haven't seen at other houseware stores (especially some of the chains you find in malls in the area). Also, I regularly take my knives here ... quick turnaround, great job (with nice sleeves when I get them back) and reasonable prices.

Come for the exceptional knife sharpening, stay for the selection of cooking gear and amazing customer service.

I couldn't have had a better knife sharpening experience here. I have three Wusthof knives- 1 chef's knife and two santoku knives. I love cooking and use them almost constantly. I dropped in and was attended to immediately. They were done in 48 hours and very considerately sheathed for safe transport. The quality of the work was exceptional and they really could not have made the process any more simple. They also included a small card with tips on how to take good care of my knives on a daily basis, which I appreciated a lot. Very fair pricing and excellent customer service. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to take good care of their knives.

Pro tip: This would be a perfect and thoughtful gift for the home cook in your life that is hard to shop for! Cooking gear is very personal, but sharp knives are an essential for anyone who cooks.

I have also purchased baking sheets, cutting boards, prep bowls, and a few cooking utensils here. Great selection and they really maximize their space without making it feel crowded. The staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable. There is free parking in the back of the building. Sure, you could probably buy it for a little cheaper online, but supporting high quality local institutions like this one is a genuine pleasure. Keep up the great work, Local Root!

I have brought my knives here multiple times for sharpening as a professional chef. He does and excellent job, is very friendly, and has my business as long as I am cooking.

I've been taking my knifes here for sharpening for many years. Never disappointed. Cannot say enough about both the service and the kindness of the team providing the service.

I live within walking distance from the new Local Root/Didrik's in Belmont Ctr. Walked into the store and felt like a kid in a candy shop.I was greeted by staff . I heard that one can get knives sharpened at the store. I am married for almost 62 years and my knives look almost as old as I. I came back in this Sunday . To my surprise I was not laughed at and was told that my knives would be ready on Tuesday. I came in today and all eight knives had been restored, each one was in a cardboard shield and once again I was treated with great respect. Now, I wish that I could throw out all my old cook and bake ware, table linens etc and stock up right here. This is just a pipe dream but there are always gifts to be purchased and even more knives to be sharpened. So delighted that you are here.

Came in for the knife sharpening. A Santoku, fillet, sushi knife, and a Kramer kitchen knife. All came out great. The Kramer had some minor restoration done on it also from some rusting after long term storage. All had 48 hour turn around. The rest of the store is great with some high end kitchen tools and appliances. It's a little like Williams and Sonoma but will the local shop feel going for it. Definitely a great place.

Local Root will sharpen your kitchen knifes for you at a very good price. I had my knife sharpened there and the final result is excellent. Really great service, too! Highly recommend.

I had four of my knives (a serrated bread knife, santoku, chef's knife, and a Chinese style cleaver) sharpened during quarantine, and they did a *fantastic* job. I've been to other knife sharpeners in the area, and none of them are as professional as they were at Local Root. I dropped the knives off on Friday in a little bin outside the shop, and picked them up 48 hours later, each of them sheathed in a little JA Henckels knife guard. When I got home, they each sliced through paper like butter, and I finally got to live my chef dreams of cutting transparent slices of tomato. I can't recommend the knife sharpening at Local Root enough.

Maker sure to stop by Local Root when you're in Observatory Hill for all of your kitchen needs. LR offers knife sharpening (for $10/knife and with a 48hr turnaround!) and SodaStream exchanges which is awesome. With a full range of cookware/bakeware around to help you become a better cook.baker I love it here.

Bias: I'm the manager!

Excellent knife sharpening experience! I’ll be using them from now on.

Just got some knives sharpened here. Quality work, pleasant customer service, quick turn around. All at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for?

Store is very clean. Staff super friendly. They have nearly everything imaginable that you could need in a kitchen. They carry many different brands of the same product so you have options.
