After I arrived at his home, he immediately started sharpening the scissors. Within 5 minutes, the job was done, and they were very very sharp. Simon is an expert. He teaches sharpening to students entering the trade, and he (humbly) mentioned he is the most skilled sharpener in the area. When I ordered my ride home, he stayed and waited with me and we chatted. I told him the scissors were my mother's. He was very sweet and kind. Give this man your well-earned business. Not only is he an expert, but his prices are amazing!

Chris noticed I needed assistance and immediately jumped into action. Luckily, I had taken pictures of the desk and parts, which Chris used to guide me directly to the exact hardware section I needed. He was exceptionally attentive, knowledgeable, and patient; especially compared to a frustrating experience I had previously at another big-box retailer. Even though a wood glue recommendation we tried didn't end up working for my specific fix, his willingness to share his knowledge and problem-solve with me was outstanding. Chris provided top-tier customer service, and I truly appreciate his effort and dedication to helping me out.

I once took knives to a guy at the local farmers market who ran his business out of his truck and it was terrible. He did his work with a bench grinder and made a mess out of the cutting edge! When I checked out Delta Sharpening, I was pretty skeptical. No reviews, no background, but I liked his responses to my questions and comments, so decided to try him out. Brought him 5 knives of various pedigree, 2 that were at least 40 years old but I use all the time, a favorite pocket knife that I could never get sharp and a couple newer ones. When I picked them up, they were the sharpest I have ever seen! Jeff's pricing is very reasonable, especially for the results, and he's a very amiable guy, which just adds to the experience. I know this is his first review, which would make me skeptical if I were looking, but give him a try. I'm willing to bet you'll be pleased as well.

I took 4 knives and it was done in no time. Good pricing, efficient and friendly service, and the knives came out razor sharp. I highly recommended this business.

I had an amazing visit to Hida Tool in Berkeley for master knife sharpening with Kou! My prized…read moreJapanese chef knife I've had for decades, that lives carefully dried and wrapped in towel when not in use - nonetheless over the decades, had small imperfections here and there and needed sharpening. Claude AI led me to Hida! Kou educated me about the hand forged knife I had, translated it's inscriptions, and maybe because I had my beloved Japanese Akita with me, invited me to watch the process - it was amazing to see his adroit flow of steps to remove almost invisible fine pits and barely visible rust, straighten a slight bend (and now I know NOT to cut hard winter squash with this fine knife!) and used sequence of fine whet stones and water to finish the polish over a special sink basin that felt like a small pond in a Japanese temple. It is new and happy again! My hand wrought knife restored for just $20, so very worth it - and the drive to Berkeley and the experience and learning in person was priceless. You can't have a knife in more appreciative hands, and your appreciation of your knife will grow too. Yes, they sharpen European knives and all sorts of fine tools too, and sell an amazing array of fine tools and knives too. My knife, well cared for like this, is an heirloom - and I now know can literally last hundreds of years! Check out their website for their dazzling array of speciality knives and tools. Very worthwhile - make an appointment to see Kuo and take the drive to Berkeley and be sure to stop after at the nearby also famed Monterey Market - the original that helped launch Chez Panisse and the California Cuisine movement decades ago - always rare and wonderful produce there, as a lifelong chef myself, it is truly one of the best unique private fresh artisan produce and food stores on earth!
