Full Throttle Sharpening - . - Knife Sharpening Near Me

I'm getting ready to host a 10 person (socially distanced) brunch this weekend, out of town and started gathering my cooking tools together today only to find ALL of my best knives were dull and sad. I freaked out and texted a friend to see if she had a sharpening stone I could borrow. She said she threw hers away after almost slicing her finger in half and now she just uses a mobile sharpening service. Say wha?? I had no idea such a thing existed! I did some research on yelp and called around. Either I could not get a hold of a live human or they weren't available to come by this week or I had to take the knives to them. Then I spoke to Chris at Full Throttle, told him my crisis. He sensed my urgency and moved some appointments around to accommodate my schedule. He showed up masked and sanitized, was quick, professional and the whole thing was so easy it was almost shocking. My husband came home to me adoringly staring at my newly sharpened knives (they feel and cut good as new) and thought his time had finally come. Thank you Chris, you were awesome and saved me!! read more

After a chipped blade and a botched sharpening job meant to fix, not worsen, the situation, I was eager to find someone to restore my knife to like-new conditions. The knife was used without my permission, but I am not likely to lend my knives to someone else, especially to someone who is generally rougher with their tools... While not the best or most expensive knife, this one has sentimental value to me because it was my first Japanese knife. So, I was particularly downtrodden and disappointed with its current state, performing more like a dull wedge than a sharp blade. It's called the "Kai Seki Magoroku Damascus Santoku Knife" at 165mm. I selected Full Throttle Sharpening because it serves National City, where I live. My correspondence with Chris was efficient, receiving timely responses and effective communication. The pricing was fair considering the condition of the knife, as well as pick-up and drop-off services. Despite a slight delay due to the need for a polishing compound, the knife was returned to me beautifully shiny and laser-sharp. Please consider this man's business, as he performed an excellent job. read more

I accidentally chipped my Japanese knife and I freaked out. Went online to see if I can get it fix and I saw one that you can mail minimum of 4 knives plus shipping and it will take weeks. My husband asked me what is the guarantee that it won't get lost. So I checked yelp and saw if there is a business for sharpening the knife. I posted the inquiry on yelp and Chris replied right away and gave me a quote. Made the appointment for the following day and I ended up getting all my knives sharpened. Now I know that if my knives get dull they will be easy to get them sharpen. read more

Perfect communication and service. My Shun knives feel brand new. Will definitely work with Chris again once the needs arises!

Absolutely the best money I've spent in years! Chris came to my house (he wore a mask due to covid which I felt bad about) & sharpened my 5/6 piece JA Henckles plus my bread knife! I couldn't even cut soft butter before they were sharpened- now they slice through frozen butter without any effort! Great communication via yelp & texting.

Chris of Full throttle Sharpening did a great job for me. He replied to my Yelp inquiry promptly and we agreed on a service call to my home about two days later. Upon arriving, at my request, he took the time to look at some knives I wasn't sure about the quality of. He identified the better ones, which we were able to add to my initial sharpening order. All in all, great finished product, with more time spent on sharpening that I would have thought. By that I mean, he was very diligent and did not rush his work or do anything less than a thorough job. read more

Chris came by my house and sharpened 5 knives that needed some help. Friendly guy, was quick, and the reasonable pricing made it a great experience overall. Was happy to answer questions since I was curious about the process and he clearly knows his stuff. I will definitely be reaching out to him again in a few months for the same service. read more

I called on a Friday afternoon and Chris was able to schedule me for a home appointment the very next day. He was prompt, polite, and courteous. He wore his face mask the entire time even though he was working up a sweat bringing my dull old blades back to life. He definitely had his work cut out for him being that I'd not once had my knives sharpened in the 10+ years I've owned them. He took his time and did a phenomenal job bringing each of them to precision blade edges. He could definitely charge more than he does for the expertise and work he puts in. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in breathing life back into their cutlery. read more

Amazing service! Chris made my knives extra sharp and he is very knowledgeable about knives in general. He was able to even sharpen my cooking shears! Very reasonably priced with a quick turn around time. Would highly recommend anyone that needs sharpening services. read more

After a few back and forth messages, which were timely and helpful, Chris showed up today on time and ready to go as agreed. I had some really, really, really dull knives that needed some serious attention. He got to work immediately and I now have my knives back to a maybe better than brand new shape. I have gotten so used to them being dull that Ihave to really be careful handling them again! I am an avid home cook and am just, frankly, embarrassed that I let them get to such a state. NEVER again...now that I found Chris I am always going to stay on top of these beautiful edges and keep my Global knives in their best shape. As far as COVID protocols go, he was masked and had everything he needed to be safe. He's a great guy and this was just a really good experience overall and I am so excited to tell everyone I know about him and absolutely recommend his services. If you're on the fence, don't be, make the call or send a request for a quote and get your equipment back in proper shape. read more

And his price is reasonable, the same as I was paying at stores pre COVID. read more
