Cory is a great guy and amazing at his craft. I had him taken in my Benchmade 417 Fact to repair and make it look beautiful again. This was not a cheap pocket knife, and the person who had worked on it and sharpened it prior completely ruined the bevel and thumb studs on the knife. Their careless mistake made my $200 dollar knife look terrible. They had put a double bevel on my knife and ground the thumb studs down when they used a sanding belt on such a small knife. After trying to find someone who would be able to fix it and make it beautiful again, Cory took up that challenge and walked me through the entire process. I completely trusted him and his skills and he made my knife look good as new again. I cannot recommend anyone more than him to take your expensive and sentimental knives to get sharpened or fixed up.

I saw one of Cory's videos on YouTube immediately went to his channel and contacted him. Trust me when I say, this guy knows what he's doing! I emailed 1st then went to texting. The whole process was super easy and convenient. I would Trust him with any of my knives. I mailed him 4 and they even got featured in one of his detailed sharpening videos. After the whole thing was done I got my knives back SUPER sharp and made a friend in the process. Mail in your knives people!! You won't be sorry.

It’s hard to find great knife sharpeners (without having to go to south Seattle)—so I was thrilled to find one in my neighborhood. Cory was quick to respond and super informative! And then he sharpened my knives….and he did an amazing job!!! And he went the extra mile conditioning the handles. They’re perfectly sharp and in great shape. I will definitely continue to use his services!

Met Cory on YouTube. Shipped him 15 knives to him. Incredible customer service. He was in touch through the whole process. Some knives just needed a sharp edge and others needed a full tune up. He brought back my fathers old sushi knife to life. Every knife was sharpened using a Tormek and all came back with laser performance. What started as a simple conversation about sharpening the world hardest steel became introduction to a really cool down to earth guy that just loves knives and making them sharp. Give him a chance you won’t regret it. Check out his YouTube Get Sharp

My Name is Norman D. from Windsor Ontario Canada. I found Cory at Get Sharp USA and immediately know the was the knife sharpening nerd that was going to sharpen my Spyderco Manix LW in CPM15V. This is a super steel and sporting a couple self induced chips needing expert repair and a reprofile from factory 17 dps to 15 dps. Back and forth a few time and my gut knew I picked the right guy. Fast forward ... The Post did its job a little behind but Cory was right on it. I have never in my life experienced a slicey knife with a laser edge. I am absolutely 100% satisfied with his knowledge, enthusiasm and an all out sharpening nerd. Ask Cory about his new Diamond Imulsion strop formula releasing soon. I can't wait to try it.

I found Cory at Get Sharp through a Google search and was impressed by his positive reviews, especially his experience with Shun knives. We’ve had our Shun set for nearly 20 years, and they’ve been well loved (and well used), so I decided to give him a shot. Cory was genuinely excited by the challenge of sharpening six Shun knives. He walked us through his process and even showed us a cool gadget that measures blade sharpness! And his turnaround was crazy fast: just 24 hours! The results? Incredible. My beloved Santoku now slices through an onion like warm butter. It’s sharper than it’s been in years. Cory did a fantastic job, and we’ll absolutely be recommending him to anyone looking for top-notch sharpening services.
