Barron is MARVELOUS! Highly recommend! He responded right away and scheduled a convenient time for me to come by and sharpen a whole set of knives. Super friendly, very convenient, affordable and amazing results. My entire knife set is brand new!! More than a dozen knives only took 20minutes and he called me when he was finished so I didn't have to wait on him. Great experience from start to finish! Thanks Barron!! read more

Sadly Brian is not in the Bay Area at this time. I heard many splendid things, maybe next time.

Wow! Super amazing. I took 10 knives to be sharpened and they came back even sharper than when I bought them! There is nothing quite like using a super sharp knife for prep and cooking. Also, the process is super quick! Highly recommend Brian for this service. read more

Barron's Knife sharpening simply the best. No mess no fuss, just good service. I found Barron online, checked his reviews and after coming to office with my 6 knives and german hair clippers I could not be happier. He clearly deserves the 5 star rating. read more

Fantastic! I looked around Yelp for a knife sharpening service and noted the mobile feature of this sharpening service. :-) So, after a quick chat with Brian, he came over to my house and quickly sharpened my cooking & dining knives to mint condition. Definitely recommend! read more

Brian came to our home today and was absolutely delightful- like sunshine on a cloudy morning. Oh, and the knives? They are like new. Yay! To reiterate what the other reviewers said: Brian brought excellence to us on all fronts. Professional, fast, on time (early even), and a good human. I'd give him six stars if I could. Thank you Brian. And keep smiling! read more

WOW! Brian is very knowledgeable, well prepared and takes great pride in his craft. He went above and beyond in his transaction with me. My tools and knives have never performed better after his fine service... I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. read more

In a haste to find a new sharpener for my shears.. I'm a hairstylist and very picky about my shears.. Brian was available.. and flexible.. my shears were great He will forever my new guy! Highly recommend.. he's really a true good person and has his craft down. read more

Amazing! Brian has a complete knife sharpening shop in his mobile workshop (van) and knocked out straightening, polishing, AND sharpening of four super banged up decade-old Global knives in less than 15 minutes, less than half an hour after I called him to schedule an appointment! He was a joy to visit with while he worked (as were his wife and dogs, who were on their way out for a walk) and the kind of true craftsman that delights me to give my business to. He'll have my business indefinitely and my knives and I will both be better for it. read more

Day before Thanksgiving. Mom's in town and complaining about how dull my knives are. Brian to the rescue! I was at his house in 10 minutes. I only had to wait a couple of minutes - while he sharpened his gardener's shears - before six of my knives were better than new! So far we've tackled all the onions and mushrooms - Mom hasn't complained about a thing. :) read more

I'm a hairdresser of 17 years and my coworkers have even more than that maybe about 25 and 30 years. Barron is somebody I found online because the good ones end up retiring because that's just what they do and then you have other people that are kind of trying to pick up the pieces but it seems that nobody sharpens their own shears anymore they just send them out to another company to do. I spoke with Barron and hes sharpens knives and shears as well so he came out and we gave them all of our shears to do. I figured we will try this guy out!. I don't think I've ever had a better job done on my shears in my whole 17 years of doing hair. Same with my co workers. I will definitely spread the word to all of my hair dressers. read more

Brian responded to my project request promptly. The project was a little out of his league. My 102++ mother has knifes as old as me ( I am 67) and she has never sharpened them. Brian was friendly, prompt and courteous. If you need his services, I highly recommend you trust Brian with the work. read more

I contacted Brian through Yelp, and received a quick response, he gave me a run down on his pricing which is extremely affordable especially considering the quality of work he does, i texted him and scheduled a meet up time, i took 6 chisels 3 kitchen knives and my dads old reliable pocket knife which had seen better days, and Wow Brian does an incredible job and brought everything i took to him back to a razor sharp edge, if you are considering getting items sharpened do not hesitate to contact him and get it done, aside from being great at sharpening he is also a cool guy who will explain what he's doing as you watch him do his magic, thank you Brian i look forward to getting more items sharpened by you in the near future. read more

If you're shopping around for a way to get kitchen knives sharpened without a hassle, look no further, this is it. I called and he said he could sharpen them right away if I brought them over. The entire block of knives plus a hunting knife was done so quickly I didn't have time to get a cup of coffee while he worked. Worth every penny. read more

Brian was able to sharpen my kitchen knives and a camping knife in his mobile knife sharpening van. The custom mobile knife sharpening van is super cool, by the way. Brian has mad sharpening and refurbishing skills. He encouraged me to bring older knives to him and he could sharpen and refurbish those, too. His pricing is simple and very affordable. He could probably charge considerably more. But I have to say it was refreshing to not get gouged on price. I think he's able to pass along some of his savings because of being mobile and not paying store front overhead. But the most impressive part of this experience was seeing a couple of the custom knives Brian crafted at his bench. He's a true artisan. I'm not sure how many of these he makes, but they would make beautiful gifts if he does sell them. I'll definitely be back to get more things sharpened. It was a pleasure using our freshly-sharpened cooking knives tonight. Thanks, Brian! read more

If I could double the star account I would! Brian was quick and efficient! Sharpened our knives, lawn mover blade and shears!

What fantastic service with a thoughtful and prompt service provider. I almost want to dull our knives again just for visit with him. Fast work, good quality work, and prompt and amazing customer service. read more

I brought 2 hand crafted Chinese chef knives to Brian at his Palm Ave location to sharpen while i went grocery shopping near by, the two knives weren't the easiest to sharpen due to their length and profile. I came back a bit later and 2 incredibly sharpened knives were returned to me. Brian done a wonderful job sharpening them and he was very careful during the sharpening process on not to damage the patina on my knives. I will bring all my knives to Brian for sharpening from now on, yall should do the same. read more

I definitely recommend Barron's Mobile Sharpening Services. Brian was super easy to deal with arranging a time to stop by. He is really friendly, talks you through his service and what he thinks needs doing to the knives you need reconditioning. He worked on my chef's knives and a couple of vintage chisels, and they now have edges honed to a 'better than new' level. Will definitely be using him again. Thank you Brian, for your fantastic service. read more

I called Brian today, last minute, to see if I could have my knives sharpened today. I have a brisket that I need trim tomorrow. He happened to be near my house. He came by in 5 minutes like he said. And was done in about 10 or less. I called Brian before and he was super nice and professional. This time it was the same. He's just a pleasant person to work with. Five knives at $6 each in minutes, at my house! It's $5 a knife if you drop off. read more

Excellent results for an affordable price! I called Brian and he scheduled me in on the same day. It was super quick too (and I brought 19 knives that needed a lot of work). And he threw in polishing for free! Brian really knows his craft. Highly recommended! read more

Found Brian while searching on Yelp, and gave him an email and within 15 minuted I got a call back from him. I thought it would take a few days for him to come out, but he said he could do it same day. 30 minutes later he was at our home. We gave him about 20+ knives to work on - kitchen and pocket knives. My mom also came over and gave him a saw and garden shears. After about 1 hour all items were sharpened and cleaned up. I'm no blade expert, but I could tell the edges were consistent and of course sharp. Definitely beats taking the time to sharpen them myself - it would have taken me the entire day. Will use Barron's again! read more

Brian is a great guy and offers exceptional work, incredible service at exceptionally reasonable prices. 6 knives are now like new and sharper than ever. You can't get better than Barron's! Thanks again! read more

Barron's Mobile Sharpening is a fantastic way to hone your kitchen skills! Thank you so much for getting our knives in amazing shape! They are sharper than ever and scheduling with Brian was very straightforward. We collected knives from our neighbors and they had their knives sharpened as well; the only complaint I heard was one neighbor who wished she'd gotten *all* of her knives sharpened...we will definitely schedule again!!! He sharpens everything from knives to scissors to shears. Thank you Brian! read more

Fantastic service! Called on Sunday morning and immediately someone picked up, brought my knives over in 20 mins and all 6 knives were completed quickly in about 15 mins. He even polished the rust off one of the older knives. All knives are very sharp now. Great location in San Mateo on a tree lined neighborhood - even got to walk the dog nearby. Brian and family were very friendly and efficient. Great price too! Thanks Brian! read more

Brian is the best knife sharpener in the north bay, peninsula, south bay and san jose--he shows up where you are, does a great job sharpening the knives and is super friendly and nice before, during and after the process. I run a food science consulting firm and need my knives to be sharp- Brian keeps them that way! He can sharpen anything and can even make you a sword from Valyrian steel (and dragon glass) if you ask him to! read more

Brian is great! He knows his craft well and takes pride in his work. I'm due for some knife sharpening, so will be contacting him soon! After my initial experience, I couldn't trust anyone else with my knives. I recommend him wholeheartedly! read more

I've had the pleasure of meeting Brian Barron today. What a down to earth, nice, and friendly guy. I took two of my dull Japanese style knives to Brian and he made them sharper than when I first bought them. They are now razor sharp! Awesome job Brian. Now, where is my Mr. Potato hiding? read more

Brian is incredible, easy to meet up with, does a great job and reasonably priced. Normally I have to wait a few days and then I found Brian via a search. Thank you so much and now you have a repeat customer read more

I visited my sister in CA and had the pleasure of meeting the owner/operator Mr. Barron while he sharpened her set of knives. He has a very cool mobile sharpening vehicle and has a lot of specialized equipment for dealing with different types of blades. I was about to ask if he was familiar with a certain type of expensive Japanese blade and before I finished, he interjected and said, "Your Shun?" And then he showed me his special sharpening belt designed specifically for expensive knives like Shuns. read more

Great experience. Brian came out the next day and did great work lightning-quick. I hadn't realized just how dull my knives had gotten until I used them later that afternoon. read more
