About Knife Medic
The neighborhood knife guy
Knife Medic is a one-person sharpening service based in Gurnee. No mail-in boxes, no six-week turnaround, no dropping your knives at a strip mall and hoping for the best.
I pick up from your porch, sharpen every blade, and return them wrapped in butcher paper and twine. It's like the milkman routes from the 1950s, but for your knife block.
Flat $12 per Knife
One simple price, every time. No tiers, no upsells.
No Minimum, Ever
One knife or twenty, there is no order minimum.
Kitchen Scissors $5
Add a pair of kitchen scissors to any pickup for $5.
Simple Pricing
Flat $12 per knife.
No tiers, no upsells, no membership required. Just one honest price, whichever pickup day you choose.
No order minimum
Kitchen scissors $5 each
Repairs available
Chip and bent-tip repairs are quoted after inspection, $5 to $20 per knife. I send you a photo and a price, and I do not touch it until you say yes.
