Really good, timely, finally got our lawnmower blades sharpened and garden clippers. They'd be right for anything!

They do an Excellent job and prices are very reasonable. I have been using them for my Cutco knives and garden tools for 35 years. No more saw blades. My dad used them in the 1960's for lawn mower and saw blades, Vito taught Vince well. They also sharpens scissors including very expensive hair cutting shears. Vince can take a cheap Harbor freight machete and make it a very dangerous tool. Also in 60's they did small engine repairs and were they Vespa scooter dealer for Walnut Creek. No they do not have email or a website. They are a CASH only business also.They never took credit cards or ATM. They quit taking checks sometime during COVID I think. read more

Vito's Super Sharp - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

See all

Fast, reasonably priced and they take excellent care of my kitchen knives. They get the job done and I am very satisfied.

I am very impressed with the sharpening service I received. My husband is a long-time chef, and appreciates a sharp blade. I brought in all of our Chef's, Santoku, and paring knives to get the edges refreshed. Vito's sharpened them all for me and I picked them up the very next day. These blades are razor-sharp! They were even able to smooth out the nicks in our old 8" Connoisseur blade, which cuts like new again. They also did a great job with my Kershaw pocket knife, which was badly in need of a refresh. Overall, very happy with the speed, quality, and value of workmanship. Happy to support this family business. It's not inconvenient to pay cash/check for this great service since my bank's ATMs are everywhere. Definitely returning at the next sign of my knives dulling! read more

Best knife sharpening place at reasonable prices. We will recommend this store to anyone in the Bay Area.

I love this place; they are all polite and helpful and do such a great job every time I bring in my knives. My family always fights over who gets to use the knives and make dinner after I bring them home from Vito's, because they work So Well after he takes care of them! read more

They do same day service, in before 12 and pick up after 3pm. Very reasonable prices. The father has recently passed his craft on to his son. They do great work! Easy access off the highway. read more

I can't believe there's some loser complaining about a cash only policy, having the audacity to cry, "ITS 2022 BRO" while simultaneously being unable to use his new fangled 2022 technology to find an ATM on his own without harassing someone because they won't budge on their policy. Cash only is cash only, quit being a crybaby. You left a one star review because you had a problem with their policy? The man probably didn't want to talk to your whiny a, I'd have hung up too. Anyway, I've taken my knives here a half dozen times over the past 6 years and I've always had great service. They do a great job and for a great price! read more

They did a great job sharpening Maxamet and 20CV blades at very reasonable prices. I'll definitely go back!

Brought in a butcher block full of dull knives... 39 bucks later they were all like brand new. Great independent shop. Big thumbs up.

I brought in a brand new knife I'd picked up, a Toor knives - Jank Shank. $200 knife. I'd read the reviews and thought it would be a good place to put a razer edge on my knife. Nice lady took it in back, brought it back destroyed. It was a darkened knife and I'd had it engraved all over the blade. Whatever they'd sharpened it with had brought it down to bare metal a full inch from edge of the blade, removing the bevel.... and my fresh engraving, then put in a new bevel by hand, unevenly.... like a wave. I just left. If they wanna reach out to me, I encourage it. They destroyed my knife and I want to warn everyone else that it could happen to them. read more

Wow! Vito's is the absolute best sharpening service around. I have very old, very good, very worn knives (inherited from my 101-year-old mother, the kind that rust if you don't dry them promptly -- Point of Clarification: the knives rust, not my mother!), as well as newer knives. I have had them sharpened elsewhere and was satisfied with the sharpening service, but I moved and had to find a new place. One of the older large kitchen knives had worn very unevenly, and the center of the knife blade was significantly higher than the blade ends. So, on to Vito's. I left the knives at Vito's for pickup the next day (it might have been the grandson working at the counter; he was very pleasant and easy to deal with). When I collected the knives, I noticed that Vito had gone the extra step of straightening the blade edge on the large knife without charge. But the real treat was yet to come. My knives are now sharper than they have been at any time since I owned them. It is actually amazing how easily I can cut through raw chicken or beef; how thinly I can slice cooked chicken, cooked beef, raw vegetables or bread; and how effortless dicing even fresh ginger has become. Vito's is 5 stars. Jonathan says, "Check them out!" read more

awesome prices fast service super sharp SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS PLACE!!! i was ready to throw out my tools and knives and buy new ones, now i don't need to. Family owned business which i love to patronize. read more

A good local family-run spot to sharpen knives. They take cash only. Ready for pick up within hours. Thank you!

I dropped off my knife for sharpening and the man behind the counter was not wearing a mask. I asked him if he could put one on and he said he didn't have one, he went in the back and pulled one out. When I came back to pick up my knives two gentlemen were behind the counter, not wearing masks. I asked if they could put on masks and the older gentleman said no, he didn't have to. He walked out of the room and said the other guy could put on a mask. This blatant disregard for my health is very upsetting. It is totally against California's COVID-19 protocols. This type of flippant attitude will keep me from going to this establishment even after the pandemic is over. read more

Outstanding knife sharpening shop! Super fast, excellent work and very reasonable. I've been taking my knives here for years.

They have been here a long time and does the best job when you need to sharpen knives, garden tools, scissors, food processor blades, and more. Prices are are reasonable and I'm always a satisfied customer. I recommend this place for all your sharpening needs. read more

This is where I take my knives to get them sharpened. I don't get my kitchen knives sharpened very much but my pocket knife I use all the time and come in at least once a month to get it sharpened. it's usually done while you wait and takes only 5 minutes for a single pocket knife and the charge is $4 usually!! Unbelievably nice people!! can't say enough good things about the service and the people here.. read more

I was disappointed by this business. First, I was greeted by a young man who was not wearing a mask during COVID Pandemic, and he did not put one on when I mentioned it. I quickly left 4 knives and returned the next day to pick them up. Same young man again not wearing a mask. He got me my knives which were wrapped all together in newspaper. It is a small shop. The price was good. Only $20 for the 4 including one serrated bread knife. When I examined my knives at home is when I became disappointed. The edges had some small pits/irregularities so I don't think they were honed after being sharpened. And they just were better but they weren't that sharp. We also have some Cutco knives and when they come back from sharpening, they are razor sharp. Sadly, I will not use this business again, read more

Full disclosure, I didn't get past a phone call. I just wanted to confirm that they are cash only, and whoever answered the phone had a terrible attitude. Here's how our one minute conversation went: I asked if they take cash only. His response was to laugh at me and say yeah that they always have for 20 years, or whatever (okay boomer). Bro, I just moved here. Sorry that I wasn't aware of the cash only policy at your world renowned knife sharpening shack. I then asked if they do Venmo or Zelle by chance, since y'know, it's 2022, you probably have a smart phone, and a debit transaction is a debit transaction and it's not like they'd have pay a fee to receive my money or anything. He laughed at me again, and said that's not cash so no (maybe not everyone understands how money works, but a debit transaction via Venmo is the same as paying in cash, we're not talking about credit or any borrowing here). Finally, I asked if there was an ATM near I could use otherwise I'd have to find one on my way in, since I haven't paid in cash anywhere in over a decade. Of course he is really enjoying looking down on me for some reason for not keeping my savings in the form of cash stuffed in my mattress, so he laughs again and says he feels bad for me. I was kind of floored at this point, what the hell is this guy's problem? So I asked why do you feel bad for me? His response was that well this is why people don't pay with cash anymore. I am at a loss of words at this point, so I say okay, well I'm fine with that actually. He then mutters something quickly and says see you soon (I think) and hangs up on me. What. The. Actual. Hell. read more

Great job sharpening my knife at a good price. The only reason they get 4 stars, is they inexplicably aren't wearing masks. They are behind a partial partition and they are quick so I wasn't too worried but they should be wearing masks! read more

Wow got my knives home and they are SUPER sharp. Unbelievable. And very reasonable pricing. Easy parking and quick overnight service. Thanks VITO! read more

Vito's Super Sharp - Bonus. This place is a 80 electronic museum on the site. See the Coleco-vision and Atari :) - Knife Sharpening Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I brought four knives to Vito's after a few other services had not been able to meet my needs. Vito's did a perfect job and got the blades incredibly sharp. Wonderful, wonderful service and reasonable prices. I will be using Vito's exclusively from here on out. read more

Sort of a hole in the wall store that I presume has been there for nearly forever, but they have sharpened my electric livestock shears, kitchen knives, everything for, in my opinion, next to nothing! One antique roast knife they sharpened had several nicks in the blade -- they left it looking like new, without the nicks! I highly recommend them! The ladies who work there are very friendly -- they seem to enjoy their work, and anyone who comes in the door! You can usually park directly in front of the store -- no parking meter! I've even brought cheap knives I used for cutting carpet and old Amazon boxes, and even my cheap knives cut extremely well now! read more

Based on previous Yelp reviews I went to Vito's. I was cordially greeted by a nice lady who took my knives and told me to come back the next day. No muss, no fuss, and I got my four knives back well sharpened, and for a reasonable price. One of my knives is a Global vegetable knife, and I was a little concerned about getting this knife properly sharpened. My concerns were groundless. Vito's did an excellent job resharpening and realigning the cutting edge. I will happily recommend Vito's Super Sharp read more

Astonishing! Great and fast service. Vito sharpened our vintage Solingen knives as well as our ordinary kitchen work knives. They look and work great. Reasonable price as well. Thanks so much! Kathy Rogers read more

I've brought my knives here many times over the years and they always do a great job. I stopped by today to pick them up and found out they are cash/check only. I didn't have enough cash or my checkbook to pay for everything and they let me take my knives anyway and said that I could mail them a check to pay the balance. I so appreciated it as I don't live close by. Outstanding old school customer service-thank you so much Vito's!! read more

Wow, next day service, super sharp, and nice to support the 2nd & 3rd generation of this family business.

They do not wear masks. Just be aware. Service and speed of work is solid. But they should comply with public health orders.

I was looking for a place to sharpen my kitchen knives the week before Christmas. In the past, I did them myself or used a booth at the local farmer's market. Vito's was recommended by a long time East Bay local - the old fashioned way ...- in-person word-of-mouth Yelp. Off I went to search out Vito's - not so easy to find good info on the web, but found the shop in person. Dropped off the knives and overnight, they were done! Fast, professional and reasonable cost. I spent most of my Christmas in the kitchen doing what I love - cooking with family, everyone who helped asked "How did I get the knives so sharp?" - Well done Vito's. read more

Vito's is a God-send! It's an old fashioned blade sharpening service. They even sharpen knives for professional chefs. I gave the nice lady at the counter my cherished Victorinox chef's knife at noon, and picked it up 24 hours later. It was absolutely nicely sharpened. Still sharp two months later. . . . Just before I took it here to Vito's, I had taken this knife to one of those high end gourmet kitchen stores that said they had a knife sharpening service. After several days, I got it back, and it was just as dull as ever, though I could see they did something to it...probably ran it through a machine. What a waste of time and $. So I am very thrilled that I have Vito's to take all my knives to from now on! Happy customer. read more

I never saw Vito, but was handed my clippers back taken apart. Now I can't put them back together - apparently, I need to buy the entire blade assembly. It would have been nice to speak to the person who did this, and not to the lady at the counter. Thanks for nothing. 120.00 clippers are trash now. read more

Vince is a super professional and can restore any blade, chisel, etc. Pieces are ready as promised. THE place for knife and implement sharpening in the east bay. Added benefit : private free parking at the store and close to FW 24. read more

I had my chef 's knife sharpened here. WOW! What a pleasure to cut onions and tomatoes again. You just lay the knife against them and they slice easily. And cheap enough to keep them this way. A real find. read more

The coolest shop ever! Run by a nice family with an insane museum of 1980's video games! And cool motorcycles. And they gave me a quick sharpening of my pocket knife in a few minutes for next to nothing. read more

I have been going to Vito's since Vito was doing all the sharpening and Vince was a young child. Vince learned the trade from his father. He takes a lot of pride in his sharpening skills. It is difficult to find this type of "old world" craftsman type work today. They sharpen my knives, chain saws and everything with an edge, right down to my paper cutter. read more

They did a great job sharpening my knives, there are as new! I'm very happy to find a place to get my knife sharpened!

Many moons ago, my sister who is a professional chef, moved to Europe to pursue a cooking opportunity. As a result of a glitch by the US Postal Service, her chef's knives that she had shipped there ended up back on our doorstep. By the time that happened, she had already replaced them, so we basically inherited a very nice set of knives. The challenge has always been finding a competent, accessible, reasonable and AVAILABLE knife sharpening service. It's either chasing around mobile trucks, dealing with weird artisan-hipster wanna-be's, going to farmer's markets, or mailing them off to some distant location. Well, the search is finally over. Ironically, it's been right in front of me all of the time. Vito's Super Sharp is an old-school family business, operating continuously for decades, out of the same physical shop. And they offer same-day service on Saturday's!! I made the quick drive over from Berkeley, pulled in to one of three empty parking spaces, dropped off 8 knives, an expensive pocket knife, and even my mother-in-law's 50+ year old professional seamstress scissors. I drove a few minutes to downtown WC., had a nice lunch, did a little shopping, stopped at a gas station, and returned back to the shop a few hours later. I was greeted by a friendly person who cheerfully gave me my knives, etc., back. They were razor sharp and beautifully polished. All of this came at a price that was slightly more than the lunch I had just enjoyed. I am officially a customer for life! If you are looking for a very skilled, actually available sharpening service, at an extremely fair price, look no further. Vito's is the real deal. read more

Wow ! an HONEST guy ... very reasonable rates. Dropped off some Chipper blades to have sharpened. What a fantastic job, and so inexpensive. Will definitely be using this guy to sharpen other tools for me .... Easy place to get to, and parking right in front. read more

Our Cutco knives needed some TLC & this place met & exceeded our expectations. Same day service at an affordable price. Thank you for a great experience & we will be referring friends & family! read more
