I had an amazing experience with Apex Precision Sharpening. Albert absolutely knocked it out of the…read morepark! First off, he was able to come out to my house the same day, which was incredibly convenient and impressive. That alone made the experience great. I honestly wish I had taken before pictures of the machetes and axes he restored and sharpened for me -- because when I saw the finished result, all I could say was, "WOW!!!" For service and prices The difference in the blades was unbelievable. They looked completely restored. Not only did he sharpen them to perfection, but he also went the extra mile and cleaned up oxidized areas. You can tell he takes pride in his work and pays attention to detail. All I've got to say is this guy is GOOD. I'll definitely continue using him for all my sharpening needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, high-quality service.

It used to be Westfield, but recently got bought out. Now it's the shops at Santa Anita…read more The main department stores are JcPenney, Macys, and Nordstrom. There is also a 99 ranch! Plenty of food options here. One of my favorite is Ding Tai Fung, also the Nagi ramen place is another good choice. If you have room for dessert, the Japanese cheesecake at Uncle tetsu is a place I stop for sweets. Plenty of parking, there is usually a lot of parking available at the structure by AMC and Bowlero.

I really like this mall I just visited about two weeks ago…read more They have a great selection of Asian specialty foods, skincare, and toys/things to do. My favorite place in the mall is the Hello Pottery and the bakery upstairs near the Gap. The massage people upstairs could do a little better but I guess because I'm pregnant they didn't want to put too much pressure on me. I felt like they rushed my massage at Diamond massage since it was close to closing time. I have yet to see the entire mall but I loved one of their Korean skincare stores I got a few items, the old navy is nice, Nordstrom employees helped me and told me about my bag that I got how to care for it, the Din tai fung was my first time going and nice. I still want to explore the rest :) especially the market downstairs

I hesitated writing a review sooner after using All Sharpened Up's services because I felt bad but…read moreI really have been so disappointed with what happened to my knives. I got my first set of nice ZWILLING knives and I was excited to have my first set of nice knives sharpened for the first time. I saw the fantastic reviews and was optimistic. However, upon getting them sharpened, I received my brand new knives back with scuff marks. I figured maybe it was normal and it would come out overtime but it has been over a year and they're still there. I feel a lot of regret sending my knives here to be sharpened because aesthetically they don't look good anymore. Additionally, I was not a fan of the communication when scheduling, she arrived an hour earlier which in theory could be nice? But I had to send a family member over to take care of the knives since I scheduled my work hours to be available at the time we initially agreed upon. Had I been there I more than likely would've asked about the scuff marks. I'm glad other people had wonderful results here, but I unfortunately had a very regretful experience and now the knives I saved up for look bad.

Our friend also brought his knives for sharpening. She set up on our driveway as we got acquainted. It's clear that Red values relationships as she shared her background and inquired about ours. She's a wonderful lady, so engaging, warm and kind. She lit up with delight when meeting our corgi, Luna. Red's technical skills are amazing. She has numerous grinders and accessories to sharpen knives, scissors, garden pruners, etc. She skillfully uses the equipment like a virtuoso making beautiful music. She's a master. I also appreciated her willingness to share her knowledge in helping us understand the sharpening process and how to maintain the edge on our knives. I highly recommend Red's services!

Once a year sometime in October, Mutual Trading Company sponsors a Japanese Food & Restaurant Expo…read morewhere different food & Sake (sah keh) vendors are invited to show, demonstrate their restaurant related products as well as giving out different samples of food & Sake for the restaurant trade. This event is not open to the general public, but only open to restaurant owners & their associated employees. Chefs' knives, food products to enhance & stream line restaurant food production, freezers, refrigerator units that chill Sashimi & Sushi display cases, fish venders giving out samples of Maguro & Hamachi, there is a plethora of products catering to the Japanese restaurant trade. For many years, this trade show was on the grounds of Mutual Trading Company's warehouse & office on Crocker in downtown Los Angeles, but in the last two years, the Japanese Food & Restaurant Expo has been at the Pasadena Convention Center on Green Street. I was impressed with the number & quality of Sake vendors bring with them samples of Sake, Plum Wine, Sparkling Sake (The new darling of novelty in the Sake world). Representatives were from Dassai, Kubota, Born to name a few of the premier Sake producers as well as other extremely competent but less well known Sake brewers. These representatives know their Sake, so they are capable of answering technical and culinary related topics relative to the restaurant perspective. This is a must for the owners of Japanese Restaurants & their employees since it allows them to keep au currant on different aspects of Japanese food technology & restaurant associated products & equipment.

I would sharpen my Santoku using a pull through sharpener but after having SGV Best Cutlery do it, there is no comparison. The blade slices through meat and vegetables this minimal effort. I could probably split a hair on the knife edge. Anyway, SGV's Best Cutlery hit's up a lot of Farmer's Markets plus he'll come out to you if necessary. It doesn't break the bank to sharpen a knife and make them feel brand new again.

I had a couple of kitchen knives that needed sharpening, one a high-end knife and the other a cheap one. The owner, an elderly gentleman who gave off an aura of a supreme master of knives, carefully examined each knife and said he could sharpen both. I paid the fee and was told they would be ready in a couple days. Four days later I called and was told the knives were ready for pick up. Both were sharpened nicely, like new. The cheap knife, which originally had some damage to the blade, was repaired and looked like the day it was bought 20 years ago. We are happy to have both of these knives back in our kitchen, ready to slice away. While I was there, I asked if they had any kitchen scissors and I was shown a couple of options. The differences between them were explained so I could make the best choice. I bought a pair and have been very happy with them!
