I was really impressed by his passion and commitment to his knife sharpening business. I had a day off so I was able to drop off my knife to him in Sierra Madre where he sets up on Fridays from 10am to about 2 PM I believe. My knife was done in about 20 minutes and it looks and cuts great! Thank you Steven. You are a Pro.

Our Japanese cleaver had a nick and was previously sharpened somewhere else, but still felt off…read more Been following Steven on IG and noticed that he's very knowledgeable when it comes to the details of knives, especially Japanese knives. Decided to stop by his booth while he was in San Gabriel in front of Howie's market. He was done in 30 min! Super efficient and super happy with his skills. Thank you! Will definitely be coming back to him for our future needs! His schedule and locations are posted on his website for easy walk in or text him. He will also post updates on his Instagram.

My husband used a new delicate vegetable knife to hack at a coconut and broke the edge of the knife…read morealong many points. He then left for a trip hoping I would not notice before he could surreptitiously replace it. I noticed immediately of course. I took the knife to Johnny who sharpened it better than new without batting an eye. I also brought in two very old vintage scissors inherited from my mom who brought them from her home country over 5 decades ago. These scissors were precious to me, as I inherited them when she passed away. They were among the few things I was able to recognize and dig out of the Eaton fire rubble that was once my home. I brought them to Johnny just to see if he could clean them so I could display them in our rebuild and he did not disappoint. Not only did he clean the large one, but he was able to separate the blades and sharpen them, too. Johnny asked for my mom's name so that he could think about her as he worked on the knives. It meant so much to me that he made that effort and connection. His passion for his work shines and I feel incredibly fortunate to have such an artist nearby.

I needed to find a place that could sharpen a knife on the same day. I found Johnny's on yelp…read more Johnny answered the phone and said they were busy but they would be happy to see me as a walk in. They are located in Altadena so I'm always happy to support an Altadena independent businesses. Johnny's is on Woodbury next to the Ace hardware store and there is parking in the back. I enjoyed my visit with Johnny. He invited me to come into the shop and watch him sharpen my knife. while he worked he told me about other knives he had there and he appears to have a very nice set up many rotating belts and a strong determination to turn out a good result.. he sharpened the knife twice because at first it didn't meet his standards. I would be happy to go back to Johnny. I only brought one knife but in the future, I can bring more. He charged $10 to sharpen an 8 inch carving knife..

The work was quick (for two entire kitchen blocks' worth of knives, at that!), expertly done, and Haik himself was so kind and helpful when I asked about ongoing care of my knives before my inevitable next appointment. I had been putting off sharpening my knives for years, and I'm so glad that I won't get into that rut again knowing I have access to a local resource like this, right around the corner. Highly recommend Haik's work, and I'll definitely be back!

Here is perhaps a strange review:…read more I got my knives sharpened a few weeks ago by Pete and they have been a joy to chop and slice with - truly didn't realize how dull they were. This all became even more clear to me last night, while making dinner. I did something very inadvisable and, in doing so, cut my finger with my very big and sharp knife. Middle finger, at the knuckle. When I finally recovered from the shock enough to assess the damage, I was fascinated and thrilled to see that while the cut was a little deep, it was perhaps the cleanest cut I've ever had in my life. Almost disconcertingly so to be honest. and the cut itself doesn't hurt or sting at all! There wasn't even any blood on the blade, but I washed it off and continued using it to make dinner. All night, I kept saying, "I am so glad I got my knives sharpened by Pete at the Atwater Farmers Market. Can you imagine if the knife had been dull???"

I have been a stylist for over 12 years, and it is extremely challenging to find someone who can sharpen my shears. Julio did such an amazing job sharpening my texturizing shears and haircutting shears, I actually work faster because of how much better they perform on the job. He is absolutely talented at what he does, as this takes precision and is quite the skill to master sharpening professional blades! Great human being, he is kind, and very personable.
