I've been on the hunt for a knife sharpening service nearby that didnt require me to mail it in or drive 45 min+ to get it done so I was really happy that I was able to take a bunch of knives to a drop off location near my place. He sharpened all my knives the same day. Service was quick, he was informative on how to care for the knives and the price was solid. I'll def have to bring back some more knives soon. read more

I had an amazing experience with Apex Precision Sharpening. Albert absolutely knocked it out of the park! 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. read more

Wanted to thank Alberto for an unexpected, extremely positive experience. I contacted Apex Precision Sharpening on Yelp and got an immediate response. I dropped my knife off at La Perla Tapatia Meat Market in Claremont as directed and got immediate feedback that my knife would be ready the following day, as advertised. Alberto offered to drop it off at the house which I thought was pretty cool and very convenient for me. He came in, we checked out the knife and for about 30 minutes talked about knife sharpening, the importance of honing between sharpening, meat cutting, the decline of full service meat cutters in some of our biggest market chains, he shared pics of his engineering upgrades of his belt sanders and probably a few other knife sharpening and meat cutting topics. I have to say, Alberto is a friendly, polite, professional and passionate young man working hard with a great attitude. Pretty crazy how I'm now mentioning to friends if they want any of their knives sharpened, I gotta guy... Thanks Alberto, appreciate you taking time yesterday to share some pretty cool stuff. All the best, Gene read more

Albert was excellent all around. Communication was very clear and timely as well as up front regarding pricing. Service was polite and lightning fast! I was very pleased with the results and can confirm my knives are now performing like when they were new. It's so convenient to have a local business that can perform a high quality service like this on site. Would definitely do repeat business with Albert in the future. read more

Great work! Albert was very professional and communicative. A nice guy who does good work and was very flexible with the scheduling. He came over on short notice for a mobile service (sharpened 11 knives and 1 pair of kitchen shears) at a fair price. I definitely recommend him and will undoubtedly hire him again for future sharpening needs. read more

Friendly, prompt, and courteous service. Albert came to my home and sharpened and fixed my set of knives. He also showed me how to properly maintain them as well as which types of honing rods I should invest and why. Be aware that this is skilled precision work done on site, a service that is usually reserved for the food service industry, so it can get a bit pricey if you're on a smaller budget, but that said, if you have good knives that are worth the effort, he took his time, and ALL the knives he worked on are holding up extremely well. It may be a while before I'll need a tuneup, but I'll definitely be calling him again! Thanks APEX read more

I had 11 knives sharpened by Albert today at my home and I was seriously impressed. From start to finish he was professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to explain his sharpening process and even showed me how to properly use a honing rod to keep my knives sharp between services. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations. Every knife came back razor sharp and cuts like butter. You can tell Albert takes pride in his work and genuinely wants his customers to get the most out of their knives. Also his prices are very reasonable for the level of service and expertise he provides. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and skilled knife sharpener, I highly recommend Apex Precision Sharpening. I'll definitely be using his mobile services again! read more

I found Apex Sharpening via a Google search. I had a few camp style knives that needed freshening up. The blades were no longer sharp and even had some minor damage. I called Albert and he explained his mobile service. The cost seemed reasonable, so I booked an appointment. Albert arrived and quickly got to work. He set up his work area and checked in with me throughout the entire process. The end result was four knives that sliced like razors. The blade damage was gone and the cutting edges were mirror polished and uniform. The quality of the work was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Apex Precision Sharpening.

Albert AKA Apex Precision Sharpening is THE MAN. He is truly passionate about service, and that shows through in his work. He has restored a good handful of knives for me, ranging from ones for basic kitchen use, all the way to a pocket knife I've had since I was a kid. All of them turned out sharper than the day that I got them. Apex is quick but very particular about his craft, always making sure that the job is done with - you guessed it - precision. read more

Did you know that one of the most dangerous utensil you have in your kitchen is a dull knife?? Believe me, I do!! I had an accident with a dull knife and almost severed a tendon in my hand. Thank goodness I was introduced to Albert, the owner of Apex Precision Sharpening (a professional knife sharpener) and decided I would give his service a try. I had knives that originally belonged to my Mom and Dad, and my personal knives. So...I decided to try his service. I didn't know what to expect, especially with my parents knives. I never imagined I would ever use their knives again (They were really dull)...Was I wrong!! They have become my favorite knives!! Every time I use them, I have fond memories of my parents using them as they prepared dinner!! My personal kitchen knives are just as amazing!! Thanks to you Albert, a dull knife is no longer in my kitchen!! You are an ARTIST in your profession, and I thank you for your kindness, your talent, and your amazing customer service!! S.
