Absolutely Sharp

Mark sent an email reminding customers to bring their slicers for turkey. So, I took a couple of my longer knives. Mark did a wonderful job!

I visited this booth at the Livermore Farmer’s Market. $ 5 to sharpen a cleaver. Fast service. The knife works very well now.

Great service! Fully recommend sharpening services by Absolutely Sharp. Absolutely Sharp did an awesome job sharpening 4 pairs of my scissors. I felt that the price was right for the service that was completed.

One word– amazing! We made the long trek from Vacaville to Pleasanton. It was so worth it! These people are top notch. We own 5 star Henkle knives and they previously had been mistreated by another so-​called knife sharpener. We were so traumatized by the damage to our knives, it had been years since we have comfortable with taking them in for re-​sharpening. We were very nervous about it but after reading all the great reviews in Unilocal,decided to give it a go.
They are literally a mom and pop shop and the nicest people ever. We brought all 12 knives in including shears and they were all perfectly sharpened within a short 30 minute wait. Prices were very reasonable. We also got to enjoy the farmers market while we waited.
We were so pleased with the quality and service. Thank you both and we look forward to seeing you again!

Having sharp knives is a must when you love to cook, and this type of service isn’t widely available. Add on a friendly face and quick service and you have an excellent source for sharpening all sorts of blades.
I had 4 knives sharpened for $ 21, 6″ to 8″. I think that price is quite fine: I have paid more and had to wait a week!
He is also knowledgeable about knife care and different types of blades. Next time I’ll bring my gardening shears!

Excellent service, albeit pricey – but definitely worthwhile if your concern is quality work and care for your knives. If you have forged knives, this is where you should go.
For the price of sharpening one set of knives, you can easily purchase a sharpener from Amazon. However, I’ve found that forged knives, being thicker and far stronger than stamped knives, tend not to fare well with consumer sharpeners.
When I took my poor knives here, they sorted and sharpened them to perfection. I’m extremely satisfied and will be visiting again with another set of knives.

Quick friendly service with a smile!
I was at the Pleasanton Farmers Market over the weekend picking up fresh fruits and veggies when I saw Absolutely Sharp at the end of the market next to the Kettle Corn folks. Just earlier that week I thought to myself, my pocket knife a year and a half old is duller than I prefer and it has never been sharpened.
I walked up to their booth and was greeted by a friendly face. I showed the lady my pocket knife. She brought it back for the guy working the machine to do a quick inspection and said $ 3. I left the knife with them and continued to shop and 10 minutes later, it was ready. He even tightened up all the moving parts on my knife. Definitely will be bring my kitchen knives back for them to sharpen!

Have used Mark’s services several times for garden tools and kitchen knives. He returned the knives with excellent sharpness; the garden tools were not only sharp, but were cleaned up to look practically new. Great service and a very friendly and helpful personality. The right place to go to «get sharp». De S

Mark does a wonderful and conscientious job with his sharpening. He is very, very careful about making sure implements are sharpened correctly and he has invested to have the right sharpening equipment. He truly cares for his work and i recommend everyone to make sure they get their knives, scissors, garden tools, cookware, etc. sharpened by Mark. He is very personable as well!
