I had always sent my Shun knives to its manufacturer's free sharpening service, but I have to pay for shipping and wait for weeks before I get my knives back. I'm very happy to have found Kirigin Stone. Its operations are in a home garage. The owner was very polite and patiently answered any questions I have for him. It's was a 30 minute process to sharpen 4 knives. My knives are really sharp now. According to the owner, he does a number of collectors katana sharpening too. Not that I own any...
Ray was great I just had a couple of knifes I needed to sharpen for our trip I had I called Ray and within 15 minutes I was getting all my knives professionally sharpen for an amazing deal. If you need knives sharpened this is the obvious choice.
I recently had the pleasure of learning how to sharpen knives from Ray. Ray was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the intricacies of knife sharpening, from the different types of blades to the various sharpening techniques. I was impressed not only by Ray's expertise, but also his willingness to share his knowledge.
Overall, I can't recommend Ray highly enough. If you want to learn how to sharpen knives like a pro, or if you simply need your blades sharpened by an expert, look no further.
A great resource for your knife needs! He helped me get my knives back in order. Polished some vintage Bowie knives to brilliant mirror finish. Very experienced blade technician. Even sold me a great knife for my collection. Highly recommend!
I left a more detailed review on yelp, but they cleaned up my knives very well. One of the knives had a damaged blade at the tip which they were able to repair, you can't tell it was damaged (before and after pics). The 8" Global has a new edge and cuts like a laser. The transaction was painless, just dropped off and picked up my knives later the same day. Great prices, and craftsmanship.
