I had an amazing experience with Apex Precision Sharpening. Albert absolutely knocked it out of the…read morepark! First off, he was able to come out to my house the same day, which was incredibly convenient and impressive. That alone made the experience great. I honestly wish I had taken before pictures of the machetes and axes he restored and sharpened for me -- because when I saw the finished result, all I could say was, "WOW!!!" For service and prices The difference in the blades was unbelievable. They looked completely restored. Not only did he sharpen them to perfection, but he also went the extra mile and cleaned up oxidized areas. You can tell he takes pride in his work and pays attention to detail. All I've got to say is this guy is GOOD. I'll definitely continue using him for all my sharpening needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, high-quality service.

Once a year sometime in October, Mutual Trading Company sponsors a Japanese Food & Restaurant Expo…read morewhere different food & Sake (sah keh) vendors are invited to show, demonstrate their restaurant related products as well as giving out different samples of food & Sake for the restaurant trade. This event is not open to the general public, but only open to restaurant owners & their associated employees. Chefs' knives, food products to enhance & stream line restaurant food production, freezers, refrigerator units that chill Sashimi & Sushi display cases, fish venders giving out samples of Maguro & Hamachi, there is a plethora of products catering to the Japanese restaurant trade. For many years, this trade show was on the grounds of Mutual Trading Company's warehouse & office on Crocker in downtown Los Angeles, but in the last two years, the Japanese Food & Restaurant Expo has been at the Pasadena Convention Center on Green Street. I was impressed with the number & quality of Sake vendors bring with them samples of Sake, Plum Wine, Sparkling Sake (The new darling of novelty in the Sake world). Representatives were from Dassai, Kubota, Born to name a few of the premier Sake producers as well as other extremely competent but less well known Sake brewers. These representatives know their Sake, so they are capable of answering technical and culinary related topics relative to the restaurant perspective. This is a must for the owners of Japanese Restaurants & their employees since it allows them to keep au currant on different aspects of Japanese food technology & restaurant associated products & equipment.

I would sharpen my Santoku using a pull through sharpener but after having SGV Best Cutlery do it, there is no comparison. The blade slices through meat and vegetables this minimal effort. I could probably split a hair on the knife edge. Anyway, SGV's Best Cutlery hit's up a lot of Farmer's Markets plus he'll come out to you if necessary. It doesn't break the bank to sharpen a knife and make them feel brand new again.

I had a couple of kitchen knives that needed sharpening, one a high-end knife and the other a cheap one. The owner, an elderly gentleman who gave off an aura of a supreme master of knives, carefully examined each knife and said he could sharpen both. I paid the fee and was told they would be ready in a couple days. Four days later I called and was told the knives were ready for pick up. Both were sharpened nicely, like new. The cheap knife, which originally had some damage to the blade, was repaired and looked like the day it was bought 20 years ago. We are happy to have both of these knives back in our kitchen, ready to slice away. While I was there, I asked if they had any kitchen scissors and I was shown a couple of options. The differences between them were explained so I could make the best choice. I bought a pair and have been very happy with them!
