Upon closer inspection, however, it was abundantly clear that they used a grinder on my knives. You can clearly see in the photos there are scratches on some of the blades, and the heel on them has either been ground down from the hard angle it used to be, or there are clear gouges in the heel where the grinder hit them. No Japanese whetstone is doing that much damage to a knife. When I texted and emailed many times to provide this feedback, I was met with silence. Clearly they're not interested in even admitting they use a grinder, and poorly. Don't let these folks touch your knives unless it's a knife set you got at Costco that you don't really care about.

Barron is MARVELOUS! Highly recommend!…read more He responded right away and scheduled a convenient time for me to come by and sharpen a whole set of knives. Super friendly, very convenient, affordable and amazing results. My entire knife set is brand new!! More than a dozen knives only took 20minutes and he called me when he was finished so I didn't have to wait on him. Great experience from start to finish! Thanks Barron!!

He offered to bring them back the following week, or for me to pick them up that evening at his location. He is prompt, communicative, and super friendly.

I called and made an appointment with Simon. I brought my mother's 70-year-old Wiss sewing shears…read more Simon is very very nice. 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!

And, these were inherited knives from my mom so who knows how old those things are! As usual, I just bought a new knife and ignored the relics...but I was inspired by watching the latest Knives Out movie to take action (really). Went on Yelp and did a location search for knife sharpening. Oakland Sharp came up (less than 10 minutes from my house) and reviews were excellent. I went to the website and easily scheduled a drop-off for MLK Day. I brought over 4 long knives (blades are 7"-9" long). We discussed one I wanted to get the handle tightened but, since it turns out it's RIVETED, no can do. Which is fine; it's only a little loose. All the others were very straightforward, and I didn't have to lose too much metal to get them sharp again. Plus, the turnaround time was 48 hours and the methods of payment were very convenient, from check or cash to Venmo! IMPORTANT NOTE: Professional knife sharpening is not reserved for just famous brand name knives and implements. All your tools should be kept sharp - it's safer for you in the long run. I asked how often knives should get sharpened, and he said, if heavily used, once every 12-18 months. If not heavily used, every 2 years. I'm excited for the following: 1. To bring Grant more knives and scissors for sharpening 2. Buy more knife sleeves (this is important) 3. Spread the word about his friendly, great service and pricing 4. Slice a tomato and not have it get all mushy

Nice and efficient knife sharpening!…read more I messaged this home based knife sharpener about sharpening two chef's knives, and I'm not kidding, the job was done 2-3 hours from that point. Very professional, friendly, and took the time to answer my questions, and of course, the edges came back razor sharp. 10/10. Would use again, and definitely would recommend.

After a horrible experience with a Miele authorized seller in Hayward (which I wrote about in a…read moreprevious review), I was honestly expecting the worst when trying to get help with my Miele vacuum. Thankfully, my experience with Jose at AAA Vacuum & Sewing was the complete opposite. AAA Vacuum & Sewing ended up being exactly the kind of honest, helpful service I was hoping to find. I wasn't even an existing customer there, and Jose still took the time to help me figure out my warranty situation. From the start, Jose showed excellent customer service. At first it almost felt like he might be turning me away since I live on the other side of the Bay Area, but I think he quickly realized I had already gone through a frustrating experience with another authorized Miele distributor and genuinely needed help. Jose took the time to listen and really hear me out. He even FaceTimed me so I wouldn't have to make the trip unnecessarily, which I really appreciated. That small gesture alone saved me a long drive and immediately showed he cared more about helping than simply getting another customer through the door. He was also very honest and transparent, explaining that what Miele customer service told me might end up being different from how the warranty process actually gets handled. I appreciated that he didn't sugarcoat anything and was straightforward about what he could and couldn't control. Jose mentioned he was already planning to contact Miele later that day for another customer and kindly offered to ask about my situation as well. It was clear he knew the warranty process well and had experience working directly with Miele. He took my serial number, reviewed the emails I received from Miele, and looked at the photos I sent of the vacuum hose that needed to be replaced. Fortunately, the hose ended up being covered under Miele's warranty, and Jose handled ordering the replacement so everything was taken care of properly. A couple of weeks later, my husband stopped by AAA Vacuum & Sewing to pick up the replacement hose and also commented on how nice Jose was in person. While he was there, he noticed Jose helping two older women in the store, one of whom was in a wheelchair. Jose was incredibly kind and even helped them out of the store. Moments like that say a lot about a person. As someone who had already gone through a frustrating experience elsewhere, I really appreciated Jose taking the time to listen and help me work through the situation. Jose clearly takes a lot of pride in how he runs AAA Vacuum & Sewing, and that really shows in how he treats his customers. If you need help with a Miele vacuum or a warranty repair, I would absolutely recommend AAA Vacuum & Sewing and working with Jose.
