Thought I could sharpen my knives myself and it turned out terribly. I found Larson via Yelp and I am thrilled with the results. Prices were affordable. I dropped my knives off right before he closed and it was ready to be picked up tomorrow. Will be coming back when my knives dull again!! read more

Larson Medical Sharpening - Before - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Fallbrook, California

See all

I dropped off an entire array of knives, from Chef through paring, and very serious knives to fairly common - all in need of some good sharping up. Mr Larson did a wonderful and timely job at a very fair price. I am very pleased with the results and would recommend his services. He is easy to contact and make arrangements with. Drop your knives off and they will most likely be ready the next day. He will contact you to arrange payment and pickup. Easy peasy and excellent results read more

Awesome job. I haven't been satisfied with the shop I have been using getting my Henkel's Pro line knives as sharp as they were when we bought them. The prior guy got them sharp, but not so sharp that you cut your finger just by looking at them (if you've even owned Henkel's (not Henkel's international)) you know what I mean. I dropped them off to Mr Larson about two months ago and had them sharpened. He had them ready later that day. I just finished cutting some tomatoes today (two months after he sharpened them ) and they can still slice one without squirting the guts of the tomato out... with daily tune ups on the steel edge maintainer, of course. So I am delighted. He got them much sharper than the other shop. I'm still looking for my albino unicorn of "factory edge", but he got it 95% of the way there. The prior guy was like 60%. That should tell you everything you need to know right there. I swear by Henkel's knives and now I swear by Mr Larsons skills. read more

WARNING, this guy completely ruined my $1200. knife..brought in my knife for a simple edge touch up, he gave it back a complete mess, and he also hit both sides of the blade plunge with his belt or wheel or whatever this joke uses, I gave it back to clean up..another big mistake, this time he took 1/2" of the length of the blade and had absolutely no tip left..the entire edge was rounded over and flat, I have pictures to prove it..gonna take this joke to small claims court as the knife cannot be fixed, was told by 2 others there is no way to fix the knife and they have never seen such a hack job..Run don't walk away from this guy. read more

I'm happy that I found Neil Larson Sharpener. His prices are very reasonable and his service is fast. I used to go to a store in Clairemont, they usually take a month and sometimes longer. Neil keeps me updated on what my tools require and doesn't charge me unnecessary repairs. He even taught me how to maintain my tools. Definitely, a great business man. read more

I have a set of really expensive kitchen knives that I have held-off getting sharpened until now. After thorough research in the San Diego area I decided to trust in Neil Larson to perform the honors. I dropped them off on a Wednesday evening and they were finished by Thursday evening. The knives are now back to their original razor-sharp state. I will always use Neil for future sharpening needs. He is very communicative and easy to do business with. read more

Above and beyond!! Neil helped make a fantastic Mother's Day present and was extremely positive, friendly and accommodating throughout. Couldn't be happier between the excellent sharpening and excellent service. I can't recommend his service highly enough! read more

My kitchen knives are well over 15 years old and they were so bad that we couldn't even cut a tomato. I took it to Larson's and in less than 24 hours, I had brand new knives! I'm convinced they are even sharper than the day we brought them home. It was worth every penny! read more

Great service! Mr. Larson was very kind and helpful, great communication. When I got my knives back, they were razor sharp. You could literally shave with them. Glad to have found my spot for knife service! read more

This is the second time I left my knives with Neil Larson for sharpening, and I was, once again, delighted with his great service. I dropped the knives off early afternoon, and had a text from him that same day, that the knives were ready to pick up. The sharpened knives were beautifully wrapped and he included a pen and miniature but strong LED flashlight for a key ring. I could. To have been more satisfied, and his rates are very reasonable. read more

They did such a great job with my dressmaking scissors that definitely this is the place I'm going back to. The best of all is So convenient and easy to drop off and pick up Highly recommended it read more

Neil was great! Very good work. Great price! I own a pet grooming business and he got all my clipper blades and shears sharp and polished. Very good work! Thank you Neil! read more

I've waited a bit to leave a review because I wanted to live with my newly sharpened knives for a while. Turns out, Neil can sharpen a knife. Getting my knives sharpened by Neil was a breeze and they feel like new again. The dropbox service is super easy. I'll definitely be using Neil to keep my knives in good repair in the future. read more

I can't recommend Neil's service highly enough. He's done several sharpening projects for me, and they always come out top-notch. He's fair, on-time, and easy to work with. read more

I dropped my knives off with Neil, went and got a haircut, and about 45 minutes later my shun knives were done. Very friendly service, good guy to work with, all in all a great experience! read more

I've done business with Neil for my blade and shear sharpening for nearly 7 years. He is professional, nice, and sharpens onsite! Recently we had an issue and Neil spend extra time and energy to remedy our conflict with his great customer service and professionalism. Instead of ignoring him or bad YELPing him, we gave him an opportunity to fix the issue and he came out shining! This is what puts Neil Larson Sharpening above the rest! read more

I've been using Neil for at least 10 years and even when I feel like giving someone else a shot I always end up coming back. I've tried 4 other sharpening services just because of matters such as a friend of a friend or giving a new biz a shot just for support or for whatever other reason but Neil is always dependable and consistent. He's really easy to talk to and friendly. He has a drop box in north county that makes pick up free and easy for me. It's awesome to be able to grab new blades in an emergency instead of waiting on shipping. I also still have my awesome long heritage shears I bought from him 10 years ago that I can never let go of. Thank you Neil and I hope you never retire ;) read more

Very nice man, good prices on sharpening shears and fixing clippers! Definitely going here from now on to get my tools sharpened.

My husband took 2 expensive knives to Neil. One was a Shun chef knife whose blade edge had a defect, and we weren't sure how it had happened. We were afraid that it could not be repaired. But thankfully he brought the knife back to its original condition! You cannot even see where the damaged place once was. The other knife was a Wusthof, and he also did a fine job sharpening that one. The turnaround time was 1 day, which is important when the item being repaired is something you use every day. We will be repeat customers. read more

4 Global kitchen knives sharpened in one day. My knives passed the tomato slice test - thanks Neil! Easy drop off, pickup and payment. Congratulations on another 5 star review. read more

We've taken our expensive knives to Neil for a couple of years. Chef's knife, boning knife, and sewing scissors. He's a nice guy, very courteous and professional. His prices are excellent, and the knives are done on time, every time. Soooo much better than taking them to some random person in front of the grocery store. read more

Neil Larson did an absolutely wonderful job on my very dull J.A. Henckels knives (of which there were quite a few). I have been meaning to take them in and finally did so this week. Now that I know how SHARP they can be, I wonder what took me so long! I have had these knives sharpened professionally in the past, but -- honestly -- Neil did a signficantly better job. These guys are SHARP!! He was quick, professional, friendly, and SKILLED. I will take more knives back to him soon. I am so pleased by the quality of his work, I have already forwarded his contact to several friends. I rarely write reviews on Yelp, but this experience requires recognition and applause. A great job! read more

Very disappointed in Cassie's services. Not only did she brake my scissors but she has failed to return, purchase new ones or just give me my money for them. So unprofessional, I'm sure her dad would be very disappointed in her way she's conducting business. I would never recommend her to anyone. read more

Professional expert... Excellent quality workmanship. Great system for drop-off and pick-up... Knives razor sharp!

FAST, FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT! I was almost embarrassed to ask about having a pair of inexpensive dog grooming shears sharpened. My initial phone conversation with Mr. Larson was so pleasant that I had made up my mind right then and there that I would give him my business no matter what it cost. Neil Larson Sharpening is how every business should operate. He made me feel as if I were the most important customer he had and would work hard to keep my business. Mind you, I spent a paltry $10.00 for sharpening and couldn't be more pleased with a more-than-fair rate, next day service and the best customer service experience...EVER! I highly recommend him and know you'll understand why there are only five star reviews. read more

Wonderful experience with Neil! I just had one knife to sharpen, and he was a pleasure to work with. Service was friendly and quick - I highly recommend! read more

Fast. Great results. Fair pricing. What's not to like. I dropped my knives off in the afternoon and they were ready that evening. Even though I thought my knives were OK, my son kept nagging me about them. So I finally took them to Neil and the darned kid wasn't right. They are much better. If you don't want to be nagged by your kid, take your knives to Neil. read more

Neil is a very honest person to work with. We dropped off a bunch of knives and it was ready in less than a day. I definitely recommend him everyone. Pleasure doing business here! read more

I've been taking my dog grooming sheers, blades, and clippers to Neil for three or four years now and am always extremely satisfied with Neil's services. His business is organized, professional, and reliable, and his turnaround time is fast. If I need a rush on a sheer that I've dropped, or a clipper that's not working and I need them back quickly, he does his best to accommodate me. I've used a few other sharpeners in the past and not only is Neil much faster, but my blades always work when I get them back, no coat snagging! Neil is really honest about what my clippers need when I take them in and over the years has thrown in little extra things that have made me feel like he really appreciates his customers. One more thing that really makes things easy for me is that I can drop off in Neil's box and pick up my tools whenever it's convenient for me and I'm in the area. I often work late so it's nice that I can drop them off at the end of my day and not have to worry about what time it is. I highly recommend him to other dog groomers! read more
