Great work, prompt service, reasonably priced (sharpened 12 knives, including several cerated knives), and Red is just a lovely, kind human.

Excellent service. Red offered a few times during the week. She was transparent about pricing. She sharpened 7 of my knives, repaired a big chip from one (cannot tell it was there), some small chips on another santoku knife. Removed rust - I know I shouldn't put in dishwasher. And she's a delight! Such an interesting and cool person--the type of person you immediately want to over share with . My neighbor had several knives done too and if he was on Yelp had a great experience too. Highly recommend. Oh and she sells knives - I used the bread knife on 20 passion fruit, worked great. read more

Great job, sharpened in my driveway! Red did a great job! Highly recommended. I have tried a number of vendors, but Red is amazing read more

I contacted Red about service outside her advertised service area. She promptly replied and agreed to come out to the South Bay where we live. 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! read more

TrulySharp - Red sharpened the knives in this block, as well as scissors and garden pruners. - Knife Sharpening Near Me

Red is the best! She was great at educating me, did a fabulous job on knives and garden tools, is so professional with her communication skills, and genuinely cares about her work, and her clients. Her prices are more than fair. Thank you, Red! read more

Slicing and dicing are a pleasure again! Red did a great job, her price was more than fair and she did the sharpening quickly. She advised against doing a pair of my sewing shears because sharpening them might have worn down too much metal to obtain the edge required. She had me test them with some fabric and we both agreed that they could stand another year or sew of use. I enjoyed the experience and met a new friend in the process. She's a true professional! read more

Red arrived promptly at our appointment and she was swift, easy to communicate with, and super professional. She takes her craft seriously and we are very grateful to have our knives back to better than new! read more

Highest possible recommendation for Truly Sharp. Red is a true craftsman and a consummate professional. The entire process was simple, smooth and enjoyable. And our knives are even better than new!! read more

Amazing and quick service for all of our knives and scissors. Red is lovely and does a great job - I would recommend her to anyone !

I've been looking for a reliable knife sharpening service in the area (culver city) for awhile. I found Red through a quick google and booked an appointment. She was very responsive and a delight to talk to and work with. She did a phenomenal job sharpening about 10 mixed knives (chefs, cleavers, utility) and even fixed some nicks and damage from a different sharpening service. One of my neighbors even got in on the action. I'll definitely be contacting her again when the knives go dull, which is pretty often as we cook almost every day. read more

I contacted Red and she promptly responded and was able to schedule a visit soon after. She arrived on time at our home and set up shop on the patio to work on several knives and kitchen shears. It was clear that Red approached the work with artisan precision. The results confirmed that I hired the correct person. Love to cook? Don't do it with dull knives. contact TrulySharp. read more

I'm again in love with my knives. Red has great communication skill, excellent knife and scissor sharpening skills, and she did a thorough job. Her prices are very fair. And my cat (who doesn't like any stranger) likes her! read more

I just got my knives sharpened by Red. This is something I should have done sooner but I didn't know where to go. Red came to me, set up in the parking spot of my apt building. All that was needed was a power outlet to plug in and Red was ready to go. I got a little history /background about my knives, which I have had for about 5 years and are of fairly good quality and craftsmanship but I wasn't sure and didn't know much about. Red repaired the less-than-smooth edges of years of neglect and sharpened each knife to a brand-new state. Now that I'm doing more cooking I think I'll do a better job of maintaining my knives in shape. This experience was very convenient. There's a minimum cost for mobile services (80$), my neighbor happened to notice and decided to get her knives sharpened which was great because we met the minimum for mobile services dropping the total cost of the sharpening to an a la carte menu split between 2 people for our sets. Overall, I think it was a great value whether you get your own set sharpened, or go in with a few friends to meet the minimum and get a la carte pricing. Very happy with this service. read more

Had an amazing experience - Red is super friendly and helpful in coming to your house. Our dull knives now look spectacular and sharp. Great value for all that she does! read more

Asked for a quote and got a response within an hour. Red showed up right on time at my house, set up her work bench and did a phenomenal job on 9 of my knives including two that are over 100 years old. She is so pleasant and cheerful and a total delight. I called one of my neighbors to inquire whether she had any to be sharpened. She came out with a bag of knives and was also thrilled with the service. I highly recommend Red and her Truly Sharp business. read more

Red did a great job. She was communicative, prompt, thorough, and is a genuinely nice person. Recommend!

The amazing TrulySharp service delivered incredible value for the price. Our knives were dull dull dull... Within 30 mins the pure artistry of bringing them back to razor sharp goodness was seen (and carefully felt). Highly recommend having TrulySharp make a house call to make your cutlery like new again read more

Had my knives for 9 years. This was the first time I ever had them sharpened. All I can say is Red did a phenomenal job. It was fairly inexpensive and she provided at home service. In less than an hour my knives were basically new. I will be reaching out to Red for future sharpening services. read more

This was such a convenient solution..Truly Sharp came out the next day and sharpened all my knives perfectly. Very professional and reasonable :) read more

Add my kudos to the rest! Excellent process resulting in knives that hadn't been sharpened in 30 years coming back to life (not literally). The neighbors later asked me what was going on in my front yard. With that in mind, an idea that might be useful: maybe put up a lawn sign while you're sharpening so that curious neighbors can call later and ask for the same great service? read more

This was my first ever knife sharpening, and Red was extremely professional and communicative. She's also a really nice person and I like to give my business to nice people. The first thing I cut with my freshly sharpened knives was a watermelon and it literally sliced through with minimal pressure. The watermelon was just okay, but the knives are great! read more

Red was incredibly responsive and we quickly set up an appointment for her to come to my house. She even got a chip out of one of my knives that a competitor caused the last time I had my knives sharpened. I'll totally go back to Red the next time I need mine sharpened. read more

extremely communicative, prices are fair, knives are extremely sharp. really glad i hired

All of the positive reviews were right on target. Red is an incredible professional who takes her work seriously. Not only was she patient and thorough; she was kind and explained her process, all while getting the work done with precision and great attention to detail. Truly Sharp is highly recommended, and we will indeed recommend her to everyone we know. You now have fans as well as clients. read more

I am a chef in training at LATTC, and to me my knives are my life. I was so desperate to have my knives sharpened before my classes started up again. It had been over 2 years since I last had my knives sharpened and honestly? I will never go anywhere else! Red was super sweet and responded very quickly! I dropped my knives off at the Gourmandise school at the Santa Monica promenade. I had a total of 7 knives only for $65! Of course prices depend on the length of the knives but I was so impressed! Cant wait to have Red sharpen them again! Thank you! read more

Great service. Excellent knife sharpening skills. Extremely professional. Came on a Saturday to sharpen commercial kitchen knives for our restaurant. We had a large catering and were able to execute without interruption. Every knife in our restaurant was beautifully taken care of. Will definitely be a return customer read more

Red does amazing work and has the utmost highest standards when it comes to keeping our knives perfectl sharp and straight!!! thanks again!! chef Ian. read more

Red was amazing! She sharpened and restored our knives back to their original edge. She is a master at her craft, and was friendly and personal to boot. She showed up to our office right on time, and got to work on our knives. Payments for each person was easy and we are all really satisfied and grateful. Look no further if you need a knife sharpening service! read more

I loved Red! Our timing worked out so perfectly and she produced great sharp knives. Highly recommended!

Red was awesome. Personable and highly responsive. I called around 10am on a Saturday. Red was over within a few hours. I had inherited my grandmothers German knives and Chinese cleavers. They were decades old and well worn. The chefs knife had been honed so much there was almost a recurve near the hilt. Red sculpted the hilt, flattened the blade, reformed the edge and tip. They are ready to be placed back in service. She didn't rush it. Took her time and put the much needed love these knives were begging for. Thank you Red for breathing a new life into these family treasures. read more

amazingly well-organized and informative! brilliant, actually!! the minimum rate of $80 is too high for my needs right now, with only a single gerber turkey-cutter blade to deal with. but will call this co. at another time. read more

Awesome, They come to you and can sharpen scissors, serrated knives, pizza wheels, and repair broken tips. Great knowledge of the different types of steel knives and can sharpen ceramic too. Gather your neighbours if you only have a few to sharpen as there a minimum for the door to door service. They set up in my apartment parking garage by elevator so east for neighbours to drop off while working on. read more

Red was fantastic! All 25 of our knives were perfectly sharpened. She showed up right on time and was lovely to interact with! Never taking my knives anywhere else. read more

Red was communicative - texted with her reply within the hour, reliable - showed up almost an hour early with plenty of warning - AND my knives, gardening shears and scissors are incredible. So glad I found her and will definitely use her again. read more

Red was my last hope after taking my Global knife set for repair & sharpening to another local knife sharpener with substandard results... After several years of wear and tear (& suspected abuse by unknown suspect ), my Chef's knife had a substantial chip in it's blade and I was afraid that I would have to part with it...until Red's masterful skills not only repaired it, but made it and the rest of the set better than they ever were! I will not trust my tools to anyone else from now on! read more

Such a great job and the most lovely person. Cannot say enough about this service! A pleasure to chop vegetables again!

Red was awesome! She came out and sharpened my cheap knives and made them look and work great! She takes pride in this work and she is an artist about it! Highly recommend! read more
