Matthew did a fantastic job brining back to life my kitchen knives. So glad I found him. Highly recommended! Fast service, professional and friendly. read more

Yelp does it again! I wanted a set of quality knives, so I ordered a set of Henkels from Macy's. They ended up having one side serrated and it was causing me to shred instead of slice. I initially looked up Knife Sharpening to see if someone could get rid of all the serration. Matt educated me on the conditions of the knives and told me that all he needed to do was sharpen them and smooth out burrs. I gave him 4 knives + scissors and he was done in about 20min! Not only is Matt very nice and knowledgeable, he's efficient and saved me from throwing away this knife set. I very highly recommend Shear Performance! read more

So glad to have found such a fantastic person for my knife sharpening needs! Matthew is fast, affordable, professional, and friendly! He even educated me on how to take care of my blades! Will be a return customer! Thank you, Matthew! read more

This was the first time getting my knives sharpened by a professional. Before I always used a whet stone, but honestly i have no clue what I'm doing, and I no longer wanted to invest in this hobby, and found Matthew. Matthew was extremely friendly, knowledge, and quick! He has his knife sharpening station, and does it on a belt, so it's real quick. He using a magnifying glass to inspect his work, and make sure the burr is straight. He actually checked, and this was great to see. He is really cheap, at least for me. I only had two 6 in chef's knife, and it's $1 an inch, so it came out to $12, that i sent via venmo. Quick in, quick out, great/sharp knives. Will definitely be hitting up Matthew in the future, and if you're in the area, check him out! read more

I reached out to Matt the night before via a Yelp quote, woke up in the morning to a response and was at his shop within an hour. All my knives were sharpened beautifully in less than 20-minutes. Matt was able to fix the small blunt tip that I had been trying to get out of my Spyderco Para 3LW with no problem. He took the edge up to the tip, and sharpened and polished to perfection. For anybody looking to sharpen their kitchen or EDC knives, Matt is your guy. Extremely personable and professional. read more

Called in before I went to make sure he wasn't too busy. Matt was extremely welcoming and was sure to wear his mask when we interacted. I had about 10 assortment of knives sharpened for my mom and Matt had an EXTREMELY FAST turn around. He even mentioned to me for 2 of the knives (since they were cutco knives) that the company sharpens for free (you need to pay for shipping), which I appreciate his honesty and transparency. I still had them sharpened by him since that's a 4 week turn around. We used the knives today and my mom was very impressed (not an easy feat!) 10/10 would recommend Matt and will be sure to come back for any sharpening needs! read more

Matt does amazing work. Decades ago my dad broke the tip off of his World War II fighting knife. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for shooting down a German fighter from a B-24 Ball-Turret. He died 50 years ago when I was 12, and obviously the knife means a lot to me. Matt restored the knife to perfection today at a reasonable price. On the three occasions I've gone to him he's done excellent work on knives and scissors. He is also an all-around nice guy! read more

I have always taken my knives to Sur la Table at the Spectrum for sharpening. My knives needed some attention right before the pandemic and through endless chopping during the lockdown, they became extremely dull. With the closing of the Spectrum Sur la Table, I needed a new place to sharpen my tools. Shear Performance and Matt had glowing reviews online and i decided to give him a call. Matt was extremely helpful and very accommodating. He sharpened my knife while i waited! He gives "service with a smile" a whole new meaning. Will definitely be going back and sharing his contact info with all my friends! read more

Awesome Service and super sharp knives. I have been a customer for the last 3 years. My Mom lives in San Diego and gets her knives sharpened here.

She said she could tell the difference. Pricing is great, service is Amazing!!!!! read more
