    3 knives Gyotu, Usuba and Sabaki
    Clarence A.

    Read some of the reviews but was not deterred, came by and had these folks sharpen some of my new knives purchased in Japan, 3 knives, a Gyotu (Chefs knife), a Usuba (vegetable knife) and a Sabaki (pairing/petty knife), the person in front was very knowledgeable and helpful, dropped em off at 10am picked them up around 3pm same day. They do have their own sets of knives you can choose from as well as accessories to go with all these knives, casings, holders, shields pretty much everything you need whether your a professional chef or home chef. Their knowledge though was through the roof, they offer you the best advice and options in regards to all cutlery. All knives I got back I tested with the paper test and all passed with flying colors, they did state before use to wash them due to the compound they use to sharpen them, wash in warm water and hand dry if you can for longevity of knives. Happy I came by and I will be back to sharpen some of my older knives that I use around the house for daily use knives ***** several options to choose from price $ for sharpening if your buying knives $$ depending on what your looking for service ***** very helpful ambiance ***** knives upon knives and even more knives

    Summary: Avoid if you actually care about your knives and basic customer service. This review is for the service I received at the Campbell farmer's market from Perfect Edge; I cannot speak to the in-store experience. Perhaps most of the positive reviews on their page are for in-store services, hence different from my experience. I used Perfect Edge's service twice at the same farmer's market, and both times the service was sloppy. Perhaps they think the average Joe at fairs does not care about their knives or the service, but if that were the case, we would buy kitchen-grade knife sharpeners and not take the time to bring our knives to Perfect Edge. The first time, they plain forgot about me. They told me to come back in 20 minutes. I came back in 20 minutes and asked about my knife. The lady told me it should be ready in a few minutes if I had given it to them 20 minutes ago. So I waited right in front of their truck. After 15 minutes, I asked again, and she checked with the guy. They had forgotten about me. I waited some more time and finally got my knife with a "sorry about that." No gesture on the price or for the time I wasted there. Sure. Today, giving them another go, things like that can happen, whatever. I handed over 4 knives. Upon getting back home, I washed them and noticed 3 of them were just butchered. In order of increasing concern: 1. Inconsistent blade grind thickness/height (visible in picture 1, a little bit hidden behind the red box). Note that there are other reviews on the page complaining about this. 2. Scratches on the blade choil (visible in picture 1). The knife clearly touched the grinding wheel there, but they shrugged it off. 3. Blade profile changed on the paring knife (visible in picture 1). My blade is now straight-ish instead of having the original curve. Note that there are other reviews on the page complaining about this. 4. They ground the blade guard for no reason on the two other knives (visible in picture 2). Perhaps it was just easier to act like it wasn't there to grind the blade. I now have a sharp blade guard--great. The profile of the new blade guard is not even symmetric (visible in picture 3). One side has a long edge; the other is short. Anyway, as the foreword suggests, at the farmer's market, at least, I don't think clients are taken seriously. The job is sloppy; the price isn't. I do not recommend their mobile service. Note that I've tried to resolve the issue with the owner over text. This review comes after 9 days of being left on read while the owner stalled the discussion, repeatedly asking, "How are the knives working?" instead of acknowledging any of my remarks. Some remarks were answered with excuses related to the way their tools work, for example, the scratches in picture 1. Note that this is the second time the knife went through them, and it was not an issue the first time. The business tends to avoid accountability for errors and does not take necessary steps to rectify them. Hope this helps.

    Ground down heel of knife. Was not like this before

    Used their affiliate drop off service which was super convenient as the turnaround time was only 1 day. Knives came back sharp BUT the sharpening completely changed the edge profile on each blade. I prefer to keep the blade angles as close to original as possible. It seems the knives were dragged through a sharpening machine used for gardening equipment. Update. Preparing dinner and had a chance to look closer at the knife. Cuts fine but not the same knife I dropped off. What ever was used to sharpen this knife destroyed it. See pics.

    They had a huge array of knives available but I had already recently purchased another Wusthof so I wasn't going to buy another.

This review is a shout-out as a referral to the most outstanding designer, Cheri Ginsberg with Gilman's Kitchen & Bath Design in San Mateo. From the moment we walked into Gilman's showroom, Cheri greeted us with a smile and warmth of an old friend. Cheri has an uncanny ability to listen and comprehend what her clients' needs are. She was beyond patient with us and always made us feel welcomed, dropped what she was doing as though we were her only clients - even before we decided to go with Gilman's for our needs. She never once made us feel we were interrupting her when on occasion, we'd show up unexpectedly. Cheri always provided exceptional customer service in every way that was beyond compare. She is a true professional who knows every aspect of her business and then some. Her experience and willingness to always go the extra mile, go over and beyond what she needed to do was ever present. Cheri enjoys her job and it shows by how hard she works for you. Cheri did a lot of hand-holding over decisions and issues common to remodeling projects, but always helped calm me during times of chaos and stress in areas not related to her. We also enjoyed interacting with the staff in the showroom. Everyone was always friendly, helpful and courteous. Our renovation project, thanks in part to Cheri and her knowledge and expertise of her trade helped make our renovation a huge success.
