Took my EDC Benchmade Osborne in for a sharpening and it came back factory sharp (if not little bit sharper). Will definitely bring it back when it needs a another sharpening.

Outstanding workmanship, incredibly affordable and all within a super fast turn around between drop-off and collection! It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Travis! The 5 knives I received back are razor sharp again. I can highly recommend Elite Edge Sharpening Service to anyone needing a new edge on their knives/tools.

What a pleasure to deal with Travis. So professional!! He came to my home to sharpen garden tools and some knives. He brought all his own equipment including a work table and did a magnificent job. Everything he sharpened is working beautifully.

Awesome service from Elite Edge. I have a high end knife that needed sharpening, and after watching hours of youtube videos and trying myself couldn't get a sharp edge on the hard steel. Travis from Elite Edge sorted me out quiclky, and I got that really sharp edge I wanted on the knife. If you have quality blades that need sharpening, I highly recomend taking them through to Travis at Elite Edge.👍🏻👌🏻

I used Elite Edge to sharpen planer blades for me, as I don't live in Cape Town but in a small karoo town it's not so easy. Travis gave excellent service with continuous feedback and the blades were back in less than a week, very sharp and my planer is like a new machine. 5 out of 5 stars.

Elite blade sharpening was recommended to me via our neighbourhood what's app group. I delivered a load of old blunt tools and collected functional garden tools. They were quick and reasonably priced. Satisfied customer.

Impressed with this service! I had two old pairs of scissors that were good in their day but had become so blunt they were virtually useless.Now they're super sharp and usable again.
