What Customers Are Saying
“Phil was very accommodating when we called him to help us with getting our knives sharpened. He was extremely professional and friendly. The best part was that he came to our home 😁”
Ruth, Tri-Cities
“I brought my daily use pocket knife to Van Lanen Sharpening because an electrical “arc” took a chunk out of the cutting edge of the blade. Now my blade looks good as new and is sharper than ever before! The service was quick, friendly and professional. I am extremely pleased with the results! I highly recommend the services of Van Lanen Sharpening.”
Mike, Tri-Cities
“He did a fantastic job sharpening my tools for grooming, and helped fix my shears when a piece holding them together broke. He’s super nice and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be back. Without a doubt the best sharpener in town. So glad I don’t have to mail my tools to the east side of the country because he has better quality service, compared to my previous sharpener.”
Bre, Dog Groomer
