So I went in for the first time to Mr. Sharpe today to get some knives sharpened for my dad for his birthday. It's always dads and their tools, haha. Anyways, I showed up in the afternoon on a Tuesday, and I was the only one there. Shortly after walking in, a man who I presume is the owner, helped me out right after I said I had 2 knives to get sharpened. The front area has a big wooden cutting board that you can use to demo the knives out after they're sharpened, which I thought was cool. There's also walls and walls of cool knives, which I couldn't tell if they were for sale or for demos, but they were really cool to look at while I waited. The service was incredibly reasonably priced. I was out of there with sharpened knives in less than 10 minutes and the space was reasonably large. I hope that means the business is doing well. It certainly deserves to. I got exactly the service I requested. The quality of the knives was so good that my dad actually got a little cut after I gave them back to him. Nothing major, but was a bit funny and definitely proof that they were quite sharpened. The value for the time was extremely good. This is the type of small business that you definitely want to support, and I'll definitely be recommending Mr. Sharpe knives in the future. read more

Absolutely one of the best customer service experiences I have ever received. Melvin helped me out and set me up in the system right away. He told me they would be done in 15-20 minutes so I ran next door to grab some lunch. When I returned, they were ready to go. He explained what he did, addressed a few minor concerns about how I am storing my knives, and packaged them up to go. These knives are so sharp, it's kind of crazy. I am beyond happy with my experience and will be back the moment my knives need some attention. If you have knives that need sharpening go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Found the shop after scoring big at my local thrift shop with 4 shun premier knives and a utility knife. Talked with Melvin on the phone and he said I could come through. I got to the shop, he quoted for all 5 plus my chef knife, bread knife, cleaver and fillet from home, and within 30 minutes, my knives were ready. Great experience, cool shop and Melvin did a fantastic job in a fast amount of time. I will definitely be back when I add more secondhand knives to my collection. read more

My first time coming to Mr. Sharpe. Was greeted by Anthony and Melvin. Immediately Melvin took the knives to work on after checking me in. Anthony gave me a tour of the knives and filled me in on the deals going on. I left there with sharp edges and two fixed tips which I am thankful and happy about. I also took home a diamond platted sharpening rod, a new knife, a mandolin, and some kitchen sheers. I was shocked at the price I paid and will definitely be back to pick up more knives and toys for my home collection. Thank you guys so much read more

Mr. Sharpe Knives and Sharpening - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Signal Hill, California

Fast and friendly. I had a good experience with these guys. I used to use them when they had a mobile cart in front of the Marina Farmers Market. They are conveniently located off Willow St near the Signal Hill Costco, in an industrial strip mall with a free private parking lot. Hours are somewhat limited so be sure to check the website or call in before you show up. I had 8 knives and all together it was $80. It might have been slightly higher than I was expecting, but they came out like razors so I was very happy with them. I won't have to touch that butcher block for a while. Happy to know they are here. read more

I've been a customer of Mr. Sharpe for a couple years where I would visit their booth the Fatty Mart Market. I'm thrilled that they now have a brick and mortar location in Signal Hill, not far from my home. I recently popped in for a quick sharpening. During my visit, Melvin helped me out. He educated me a lot on different knife types and styles and showed me how to use my newly purchased Knife Sharpening Stone. I also purchased a new trimming knife along with a sheath. From this point forward, this will be my go to spot for my sharpening needs. read more

Was looking for a business to bring the blade back to life. Mr. Sharpe did not disappoint. Daniel was so impressed with the craftsmanship of the blade. He took extra care to sharpen and coat it with a sheen. Business is located on. E Willow, Signal Hill in a small business park. There's plenty of parking. He noted that the blade was inscribed by a blade maker in Birmingham, England named Robert Mole. My mother got this on a trip to Jamacia in the early 70's. What a treasure to have. Thanks Mr. Sharpe for bringing it back to life!!! read more

A nice big shop that is easy to access and close to the freeway. Daniel made quick work of the three knives I brought it, all with different levels of wear and damage. He sharpened and fixed the tips of two knives, and repaired one with a big chunk missing after a friend had a go at opening a coconut... Seems a fair price for the work done. They also have some good looking knives for sale. Super friendly, and clearly know their stuff. read more

Brought in my Dexter Chinese chef knife that had a dent and needed a grind and repair. They helped me right away and got it done quickly. Pricing was very fair, and the knife came back looking and cutting like new. Great experience overall -- efficient, professional, and quality work. read more

Needed my knives sharpened desperately, so I called on a Saturday afternoon around 11am to ask if I needed to make an appointment, and they said no, just walk right in! They told me they moved their location to 3100 E. Willow St. as of MARCH 1, 2025. So I came in about an hour later with 7 knives. 30 minutes, and $79 later (would've been $76 with cash), my knives are razor sharp again. A thing of beauty I must say. These guys are quick, professional, friendly, and knowledgable. I left for the bank while they sharpened my knives and they just texted me when they were ready. So easy. I will definitely be back! read more

Super quick walk-up service in signal hill. Great prices. Friendly and not too hard to find (just keep heading toward the back lot on the left). Definitely coming back here for all my sharpening needs from now on. Everything I brought cuts like new - even a Japanese chef knife that I've wrecked for the past 5 years. read more

I put a ridiculous amount of chips onto a fancy $300 Japanese stainless steel knife by cutting into banana bread with NUTS in it. I put the knife away in storage and forgot about it for months because I thought it would probably cost at least 150 to repair the ruined edge. Out of a whim, I looked up knife repair on yelp and found Mr Sharpe open for another hour. I thought to drop by and leave the knife there so I could pick it up when it's ready, but they managed to repair it flawlessly in less than 10 minutes and only charged $17 to restore a useless piece of steel back into the laser it once was. Thanks Mr Sharpe! read more

Mr. Sharpe Knives and Sharpening - Restored sujihiki - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Signal Hill, California

I'm so glad I found this company while I was searching for knife sharpening services. I was considering online mail-in services, but I did not like the idea of sending them out and waiting a few days to get them back. So when I sent a message to Mr Sharp for a quote, I appreciated how quickly they got back to me. I especially appreciated their very competitive pricing, and the ability to go to them locally, with the option to wait, or drop off and pick up. In fact, I'm writing this review now after just using their services, and I couldn't be more satisfied! Melvin was friendly, knowledgeable and a true craftsman to his trade. In total, I had 8 knives and 2 scissors sharpened. The service he provided was fast and his work was top notch. Not only do they provide sharpening services, they also have a nice waiting area with a selection of knives and other products they sell. If you are local and are looking for quality, affordable sharpening services, this is the place. I will definitely be back as needed, and I love the idea of supporting our local businesses! read more

They are so nice, so knowledgeable, very helpful and quick with the repairs. So happy to have found this business - will be going back every season and for every blade! read more

Price was great. Knives were sharpened very fast as I waited. I highly recommend everyone comes here. Really good customer service!

What a nice experience! I took our dull and dangerous knives to Mr. Sharpe, hoping these ancient tools could be saved. Melvin was extremely helpful! He asked questions and provided a number of options to address my needs. Then, he quoted me a very fair price to perform the work! I had 13 knives. He completed the work in about 30 minutes, allowing me the opportunity to peruse the weekend farmer's market. Now, identify the knives needing attention, then go see Melvin! He is a good guy! read more

Had a great experience at Mr. Sharpe! Got my knife sharpened at a reasonable price and took home a brand new Japanese chef knife for a great price as well! Got to take advantage of a knife sale they're having through March and got a great Chef's knife for a fraction of the price of online retailers! And got to support a local LB small business. Win/win! Plus both gentlemen in the shop were super knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend and will be back next time I'm in need of a new knife and for sharpening all my knives. read more

I needed two knives sharpened last minute for a gig and didn't have 48hrs to wait. These guys replied on a Yelp inquiry and I saw they were in the vicinity of where I was headed, so it was perfect. To no fault of the business, I didn't know they were mobile so I missed them at the set location, but Alan and Melvin were great! Alan kept me on the line and found out where the truck was in order to coordinate my Dropoff and sharpening. They're no just accommodating tho, they do a great job and I highly recommend, especially if you're in a pinch. Thank guys!! read more

It's very rare to never that one can find a service that is Fast, Good, and Inexpensive. But that is true for Mr. Sharpe. Quality work with friendly service. Sam M Venice Beach read more

These guys are at the Mission Viejo farmers market Saturday mornings. Melvin seemed really nice and knowledgeable. He sharpened four knives for me and I am very happy with the results. I keep my knives fairly sharp, but never quite as sharp as they were new just out of the box. Over the years, I've tried various sharpening tools and techniques, but could never quite reproduce the sharpness of the original manufacturer's edge. Melvin did it in less than 15 minutes. Prices were reasonable. I think $1.75 per inch, so my 4 knives, all between 7 and 10 inches, ran about $30 total. It was worth it and I'll be bringing them more knives. In the meantime, I've rediscovered the caution that goes along with handling REALLY sharp knives. read more
