Luckily I was wrong. The person working immediately said he could get it done, and charged us $50 for 5 knives.

They also have small stones you can take as you enter for free. Definitely a nice place to go to even browse around!

My son has asked for years when he can get his own Swiss Army knife and I told him when he was 10. Well that time came and we called ahead to make sure they had a decent selection and if they sharpen knives, the said yes to both so we headed down. It was New Year's Day so I wasn't expecting much action, but the new location is beautiful and they have it set up wonderfully. I brought 4 knives to sharpen including several high end Japanese knives. I have only ever had them wet stone sharpened so I was a bit nervous. $10/knife was a great price so I gave it a shot. I am very pleased with how they all turned out, but with knife sharpening time will be the test, they are often very sharp off the start and quickly dull. What I was most impressed with, was the staff! They were wonderful to talk to, super knowledgeable and friendly. Their selection is phenomenal and I can't wait to add to my collection and get a pair of hair sheers for my wife. And yes my boy got his Swiss Army knife and was over the moon. Their pocket knife collection is great, their Swiss Army knife was okay not amazing, but he found one he wanted!

My knives were ready when promised. Each one was wrapped so that taking them home was easy and safe. They gave me advice about keeping the knives sharp. They have so many kitchen devices that I decided to look at my budget and go back. I think that an apple slicer is a good housewarming gift. Nowadays with retail stores closing, I think it's important to buy local. I want places like this to be there when I need them. I plan to buy my next frying pan there.

Highly recommend their services.

I did so and expected to drop it off for a week or two, but he checked and said "I have it on hand right now." He replaced the capacitor while I stood there. Basically like a battery change. Done in 10 minutes. Out the door. What more could one ask for?

I have a fairly good 3-point hitch grader blade which I pull behind my 8N to keep the roads and…read moretrenches in order. The blade broke from the 3 point assembly when I hit a rock. The 1" bolt had crystalized at the stress point. It was broken off and welded tight through corrosion so that an easy-out would never get the bolt out. I took it to the welding shop and Scott fixed the blade by welding on a new bolt. I've used the blade roughly for 10 hours now and the assembly holds just fine! The cost was most reasonable. I had thought the business might not take my job as it was a small request. I looked around the yard and saw a lot of commercial work they did. One item in the office was a large sifter basket all of stainless steel. It was something someone had made up to scoop the sludge off the top of the wine vats. (I'm sure the wine people call it something else - I was schooled in environmental engineering - we called it sludge.)

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Reliable Hardware and Steel was beyond disappointing…read morefrom start to finish. In February 2026, I came in and met with William about building custom standing marquee frames for my business. He drew up plans and told me they could make adjustable frames that would hold my marquee letters and numbers. After several days with no follow-up, I had to repeatedly call and leave messages before someone finally called back and apologized. I returned to the shop and William admitted he had forgotten about the project and had misplaced the original drawings. We went over everything again from scratch, and he even brought in another senior welder to discuss ideas and create a mock-up to make sure the final product would work correctly. I made it extremely clear that these frames were needed for booked events, including the Sonoma County Cheese Festival on March 21st. I was assured multiple times that the project would be completed in time. I was also told the work should only take a few hours plus material prep, so the pricing discussion sounded reasonable at first. At their request, I brought in my marquee numbers so they could properly mock up the frame and ensure everything fit correctly. After dropping them off, communication once again completely disappeared. I called multiple times trying to get updates and eventually stopped expecting responses because of how poorly communication had already gone. Over a month later, long after the deadline had passed and after I had already been forced to look for other solutions for my clients, they finally called me to come see the frame. The frame itself was rusty, had water inside it, and the quoted price ended up being around $1,150 for ONE frame -- far higher than what had originally been discussed. What upset me even more was the condition of my marquee numbers when they returned them. They were dropped off in excellent condition, freshly painted, and barely used. When I got them back, they were filthy, stained, covered in rust residue, and appeared to have been left sitting in water. The wooden bases were compromised and now require repairs and repainting before I can even rent them out again. As a small business owner, this cost me time, money, missed opportunities, and damage to equipment I worked hard to build. To make things worse, after I declined the frame because of the condition and pricing, the interaction became hostile. Instead of handling the situation professionally, I was told to "get the fuck out of my shop," followed by additional insults from management. The lack of communication, missed deadlines, poor care of customer property, and unprofessional behavior made this one of the worst business experiences I've had.
