So happy I found Rowland! I am a groomer and I was taking my scissors to another place and they were never very sharp, he did a great job and I received my shears back the same day another time he gave me loaner scissors to use until he was finished. Thanks so much for the great service its very much appreciated! read more

If you value your blades, this is the only place to bring them. Roland is knowledgeable, friendly and an expert.

Roland is just awesome. He's an 11/10. He's one of those guys you wish you had a knife to bring him weekly to talk shop. I took my neglected knives to Roland and he got them back into proper cutting shape the same day. We had a nice conversation on types of steel, hard vs soft, and proper knife maintenance. His service and personality are tops. I was so happy to have found a specialized service like Rolands supporting Palm Desert and the surrounding area. You won't be disappointed. read more

Service with a smile, awesome craftsmanship! I took some worn woodworking chisels that my Grandfather and Great Uncle used back in the day. Highly sentimental and irreplaceable in my mind. Roland took the upmost care to bring them back to better than new. Now, every time I use them, I get a smile with every pass of the blade. Thanks for the great work ROC! read more

i brought in a few dull knives and the owner sharpened them expertly I will be going back with some scizzors

While I am not a professional chef or in any way using my edged tools to make a living, I am an avid hobbyist in the kitchen who owns high quality equipment. My knives were way overdue for some TLC and ROC provided that 100%! His service and attention to detail are fantastic, and the finished product on my favorite tools now far exceeds the sharpness and precision they ever had, even from the factory. The edges are also holding up better than ever. I will bring my knives and sheers to ROCs, going forward. read more

This review is a long time coming, I first dropped my knives with Roland of Roc's Edgeworks a year ago when he was starting to use his new water cooled vertical grinder. Roland took his time, adjusted the bevel to be on par with previous sharpening methods and the blades returned to me better than new. I had him sharpen 2 Global knives (10" chef and one single edged sashimi knife), as well as my Lamson units (paring, slicer, boning, chopper) all beautifully done. Fast forward a year later, way too long I know but I thought I did a decent job keeping my knives honed. Dropped off a few for some preventative maintenance (or so I thought). Within a few hours, Roland reached out and asked me if I used a pull through knife sharpener (which I do/did), sent me a bunch of pics of my edges from under a microscope showing some of the damage that sharpener was doing to the blades. This time around he had worked on his skills enough to not only suggest how to fix my blades but also gave me input on some new bevel angles based on how I use them. My Lamson's are going on 22 years old and have never been better, The Global's are only about 5 years old and each knife came back to me with mirror polished finish and way better than new. They hold their edge better and I was also given some help on how to care for them so that I could go on a quarterly sharpening schedule. Very happy with end results and completely stoked on service level, thanks! read more

Roland, is a master! I live six hours away and I went online to see that while I'm in Palm Springs I can get my kitchen Knife sharpened, and I was not disappointed. He is a true master and thrilled with not only the service, the overall professionalism, and the pricing. thanks so much, Roland! read more

I love cutting hair right after I get my shears and clippers all sharpened up from Roc's. It definitely helps fuel my passion for Barbering. Smooth like a hot knife through butter! Thanks brotha "KEEP YOUR BLADES SHARP TO LOOK SHARP" - Ian ShoeShine read more

The best! I was always told to have my Hattori Hanzo shears sharpened only by Hattori Hanzo sharpeners. But I've had to have them redone too many times to count and the shipping out process was always a headache. I bring my shears to Rocs Edgeworks and it was the best sharpening my shears have had in 10 years and I had them back in no time. He knows what he's doing and is very educated. Highly recommend. read more
