Tom’s Cutting Edge Welcomes a New Owner!

After many years of providing top-quality sharpening services, Tom Downs has made the difficult decision to step back due to health reasons. In doing so, he has carefully chosen Alan Putnam to take over the business, ensuring the same level of precision, service, pricing, process and professionalism that customers have come to trust.

​

Alan has been personally trained by Tom on his equipment and sharpening techniques, making for a seamless transition. Tom will continue to work with Alan and attend the farmer’s market beginning in May.

​

The only change customers will notice is the addition of new drop-off locations in Lake Wylie and Rock Hill. Of course, we will have a Fort Mill location set up shortly for our Fort Mill area clients.

​

Please join Tom in welcoming Alan to Tom’s Cutting Edge. We appreciate your continued support and assure you Alan will uphold Tom’s standard of quality and service. Thank you for trusting us with all your knife and scissors sharpening needs!

OUR CLIENTS SHARE THE LOVE

Tom brought several of my older hunting knives back to life. He does a really excellent job. I highly recommend him. I took advantage of his drop off box and it worked out very well. Tom has great communication.

Steve B.

Tom's service is heaven sent. As many others have said, the turn around time is incredibly fast - less than 24 hrs. I had a chip on one of my knives and I can't tell which one it was now - it's as if it was never chipped. The sharpening was well worth the price and even more so if you're within the pick-up/delivery range (I live outside of no his delivery range so I dropped them off and picked them up myself). I'll be back for sure!

Vicki V.

Tom was able to sharpen my knives within the day I dropped them off. Incredibly fair pricing and extremely personable. I greatly appreciate him and his service. I would highly recommend his service.

Kathy R.

Quality work done fast! I dropped off 7 pocket knives, including one with a broken tip, to Tom and they were ready to be picked up less than 3 hours later. Razor sharp.

Isaac B.

Tom got me in and done in one day. He sharpened eight knives, some with serration, and it was only $50. The knives are super sharp and were packaged in sleeves with a safety cap on the tip of the blades. You can take the knives to him or he can pick them up. He takes cash, check, Zelle and Venmo. It was an easy process and I will definitely be back.

Russell C.

Tom sharpened knives for me in less than 24 hours. Some of the knives came from culinary school about 20 years ago and I do not recall them being nearly this sharp when they were new. First time I used one after sharpening I thought it was dull because there was no resistance on the knife as I cut. It was just so sharp that it actually cut effortlessly! Excited for the holidays with the knives working so well now.

Robert R.

So happy to have found Tom’s for his knife sharpening skills. He has done work for me before with prompt pickup and delivery and the knives were better than new. He has just done another batch for me, and as expected, better than new.

Wayne S.

Contacted Tom about sharpening some old folding knives. Got an email back within 10 minutes. Met Tom and got knives sharpened and back to me while I waited. Fantastic edge on these knives now. Will definitely have my knives sharpened by Tom from now on.

Bob F.

Super fast service and the sharpest my knives have been in quite some time. Better deal than KnifeAid and better price supporting a local man. Thanks Tom! I’ll see you again for sure.

Frank D.

Tom did an amazing job…had quite a few knives sharpened a few days ago. I took my knives to Tom on Friday and they were ready on Saturday. I used one of the newly sharpened knives yesterday to cut up some broccoli and cauliflower, and they cut the vegetables like butter…better than ever before! I highly recommend Tom's Cutting Edge to anyone!

Kathy F.

We all know keeping our kitchen knives in excellent condition is essential for safety, especially for those of us who suffer with arthritis in our hands. This is why I'm so grateful I found Tom! I found Tom's website doing a random internet search for local a knife sharpening service. His website clearly states his services and prices. It even has a section explaining how to properly care for your knives. I was impressed with what I read on his site so I quickly scheduled a time to drop off my knives. Much to my surprise, less than 24 hours later I received a text from Tom that my knives were ready. He did an excellent job sharpening, he even fixed a few blades that had small chips and he placed my knives in carboard sheaths to protect them during transport. I will definitely bring my knives to him whenever they are in need of service. Thank you!

CB

Thank you for your brilliant service. You are engaging, efficient and very talented as shown in your work. I will be back.
