He took the time to explain the sharpening process and shared helpful tips on how to properly care for my knives.

I made my way out to the SoCo farmers market early morning to catch him to sharpen my 2 hair-cutting shears. He educated me on the types of shears I had and the his process in sharpening them with all of the different tools he had. Upon pickup, he had me check how well they cut with human hair extensions he had ready so that he could make any needed adjustments. Long story short, I brought expensive shears I had bought preowned not realizing that they may have been sharpened incorrectly before so he had to fix somebody else's work. He was so kind and didn't make me feel bad about it and was overall just so pleasant to work with. He sharpens all sorts of tools including garden, groomer, kitchen knives, clippers, etc. He's also mobile so long as there is a driveway for him. Please check him out!

Dear Leigh Anne, I cannot thank you enough for making a special trip to my apartment complex to…read moresharpen my knives and scissors. Your service was much needed and appreciated. You have raised the bar substantially. Others whom I used did not live up to your standards. You were amazingly fast (15minutes) and I am so thrilled that my knives and scissors are as shape as when I purchased them. I plan to stay in touch and would gladly travel to whatever location you are working...YOU ARE THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO!!!!

I have a trusted knife sharpener, but wanted to give Chef's Toys Knife Sharpening services a try…read morebecause it's close to my work. Bad decision on my part. When I got back my "sharpened" knives, one of them had nicks and burrs. I don't know if you can see in the photos. The bottom part of the blade feels chewed up and rough. I had two other knives sharpened and they're not as sharp as when I've had them done with people who know what they're doing. I will only go back to see ask if they can fix the one with the nicks. After that, never again. I'm actually scared to have them touch my knife again, but it's want them to be aware of the lack of quality. If you care about your knives, call ALL SHARPENED UP (Orange County) or GARY'S KNIVES (South Bay and West Side) instead.

Working with Doug Schonfeld at Chef Toys has been an exceptional experience from start to finish…read more Doug is a wealth of information when it comes to EVERYTHING that belongs in a kitchen. He has a way of explaining things that makes even complex decisions feel straightforward and manageable. What I appreciate most about Doug is how genuinely helpful he is. No matter the question or challenge, he takes the time to understand what's needed and always comes back with thoughtful, practical solutions. He's a natural problem solver who anticipates issues before they arise, which makes a huge difference. Doug is also incredibly responsive. Whether it's a quick question or a more detailed request, he consistently replies promptly and thoroughly, keeping everything moving smoothly. Above all, Doug is honest and trustworthy. His recommendations are always grounded in what's best for the situation, not just making a sale. That level of integrity is rare and makes him someone you can confidently rely on. Doug is the reason we love Chef Toys and continue to choose them every time here at Orange Coast College. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication make all the difference. I highly recommend Doug at Chef Toys to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely supportive partner in kitchen equipment.

I have invested a significant amount of money into these tools and Arnie is the only person I trust to sharpen them. After a few rough lessons with other inferior sharpeners, I was so lucky to be introduced to Arnie and he has been my sharpener ever since. He has sharpened my tools for nearly a decade now and has become a friend. Arnie is extremely professional and an expert at his craft. His pricing is more than fair, especially considering the quality of his work and years of experience behind him. He takes great care in communicating and is truly a delight to do business with. Thanks Arnie!!!

This one seemed the easiest to schedule. While not having a storefront, it was simple to schedule a meeting time at a convenient place where my knife was expertly sharpened. I was surprised at the number of customers he had when I arrived to drop my knife off; he obviously has a reputation for his craft. I went for a coffee and half an hour later returned to pick it up. Prices are fair and I am quite happy with his work.

I dropped them off to him while I was on my lunch break and they were ready within an hour and a half. He quoted me $51 for everything, he said he would do what he can with the bread knife because he doesn't really do serrated. When I showed up for pickup he tested each knife to cut a piece a paper and all of them were SHARP! I saw the work he did the bread knife and it was GREAT. I insisted I pay for the work he did with the bread knife. My girlfriend loves to bake bread so a good bread knife is a must in our household. Total for all my knives were $61 ....... 10/10 I highly recommend!

I have a nice set of kitchen knives that I keep in one of those butcher block type of counter…read moredisplays. We use them daily. They look good and the different types are quite useful. The set comes with a tubular sharpening stone but after years of mild sharpening, we needed a new set. Or so I thought. I researched the cost of a replacement set and, being the wise consumer I am, looked for a more reasonable option. SCS brought the entire knife set back to brand new co diction at a fraction of the cost. We had 6 knives sharpened for $72. Cash only. Far cheaper than a new set and we love the look and feel of our set. Kind of like a new pair of soles on your favorite shoes. The shop itself is a dump.... dusty from all of the industrial sharpening that they do here so don't plan shopping for new knives here. The service was top notch and they turned the Knives around in less than a day. They charge by the inch, a fair price and the knives are super sharp once again.
