I learned of Siraco because I’m going away on Friday and needed my scissors sharpening asap. Most hardware shops take 8– 10 days for get things sharpened because they send them out… and from the places I called up, they send them here! Why bother with the middle man and pay more $$? I called Siraco, spoke to a really nice guy called Dom who as it happened was in Davis sq. as he was near where I live offered to come around to pick up the scissors and delivered them 2 hours later, sharpened like new! $ 10 — usually when I get them done it’s around $ 20 as they’re serrated hair-cutting scissors. They are a local family owned business and I highly recommend them!

Check the Union Square Farmer’s Market website, the calendar lists the dates that Siraco is at the market(about once a month, usually the last Saturday). They will sharpen knives while you wait. Today I dropped off 5 kitchen knives(two large, two medium, one small) and an hour and a half later they were ready. Great value, only $ 19. My knives cut just like new, will definitely use their service again.

I dropped off 5 items to get sharpening recently. 3 kitchen knives, 1 Shears Pruning and 1 cutters hedge at Siraco and came back PERFECTLY!!! You can find kitchen knife sharpening pretty easily around the town, but I was looking for a place where they can sharpen my gardening tools and they did such a wonderful job for both kitchen and gardening items. My Cutter Hedge sharpening was $ 8.99/each and Shears Pruning sharpening was $ 7.99/each. My kitchen knives was $ 5.99/each. It might be a bit pricey, but I am really happy with the result and I will send my tools to get sharpen again with this place. When I dropped off my cutter hedge, it was VERY rusty and dirty from years of using and not taking care of it. When it came back, it was nicely clean, sharpen and had oil on and looked liked brand new blades. I could not believe how sharp it became! Our kitchen knives are sooo sharp, we started to laugh too! It was amazing! It is soooooo sharp, that if your knife just slightly touch paper, it will cut the paper right away. It was that sharp! It is nice to clean up and sharpen your favorite tools. I will dif drop off more items to this place again soon. The convenient part of it is that you can drop off items at Tags Hardsware in Porter Sq Shopping Center and your item will be done in 5 days or so. Just bring your tools to the basement of Tags Hardware store. If you have gardening tools that need to be sharpen, I will highly recommended this place. You might think it is a little bit pricey, but it is worth it!
