Maloon's Knife Sharpening Service

As Dan no longer services my area in person, I mailed him an assortment of knives for both hand and machine sharpening. All came back like razors.. but the edge he put on my Shun
is amazing! I have been in and around professional kitchens ( and knife services) for 25+ years and I am afraid to use this Shun..the sharpest knife I have ever seen! I just wish I could have observed his technique and learned a thing or two.

Don't waste your time with Farmers Market grinders who will turn your knife into a stub that will be dull in a week! Maloons/Elite Edge is the real deal! You will not be disappointed!
There is a reason for all the 5 star reviews..

Dan came over today and picked up three knives: a Benchmade folder, a fixed blade ESEE, and my 10" Global chef's knife. An hour later he returned with them, all amazingly sharp; i can shave the hair off my arms with any of them. I paid $20 for a little extra attention to my chef's knife. The money was well worth it. I don't think my knife has ever been this sharp. Did I mention he came to me? At no extra charge?

Without a doubt, Dan has been the best sharpening service I have used. He was friendly and professional. I will never go anywhere else to get my blade sharpened.

So easy to use! Just mailed in my kitchen knives and received them back within a few days and they are sharp again. Way cheaper than buying new knives. Will definitely use him again before my knives get too dull!

After missing the knife sharpener at Hida Tools several times, I found Elite Edges.

Pros:
1. He comes to you!
2. More than fair pricing. $3 for machine sharpening. Hilda's charged $7 for machine.
3. Offers hand sharpening. Standard and premium.

Cons:
1. Not really a con. Due to traffic he might not come right on time, but that's not his fault. He threw in a premium sharpening since I waited. Again he's coming to me so not a big deal.

Support hard working small business!

We paid for & sent three home kitchen knives for basic edge sharpening: a Chef's, a Santoku, and a utility. We mailed them USPS Monday, arrived Tuesday, and back in our hands by Friday. Great turn around! They sent a quick email to let us know everything arrived safely and that they were being shipped out. The edges are very very sharp and *extremely* consistent. These three year-old knives had never been resharpened, only honed when I remembered... and now there's no going back. Trying to hone each use and will send to Maloon's for sharpening next year. There's nothing like effortless slicing, not smashing, of a roasted poblano!

Dan is super nice, came to my door for no charge, and did an excellent job on my kitchen and pocket knives. I have fallen in love with dinner prep all over again!

Excellent service was planning on paying for 2 premium packages done but Dan offered me he'd do 2 for the price of 1. Dan came to my place and picked up the blades and came back 2 hours later, blades were razor sharp and was shaving hair of my dog like a hot knife thru butter, I plan on getting more of my blades sharpened in the future

These guys take knife sharping seriously. From the first contact I was was walked through the process of what it would take to fix a large chip in a very expensive knife. I emailed photos and they gave me an accurate quote and honest opinion on how the repair would affect the appearance and shape. Shipping the knife was easy and the turn around was very quick. The knife came back like new. I was very pleased. I wish every business were run this professionally.

Maloon's Knife Sharpening, aka EliteEdges, is the best knife sharpening service I've ever encountered. Dan came to our home, picked up our knives, and returned one hour later with some very, very sharp knives.

This is not your fun of mill sharpening where the knife is put in a mechanical machine. Dan will hand sharpen your knives, treat each one as unique, and afterwards show you how to take care of those knives. Pricing is very reasonable.

Dan impressed me with his knowledge of knives, the metal used in various knives, and how to sharpen and take of knives.

Dan is a nice guy, our dog instantly loved him. If you live in the East Bay, and need some knives sharpened, I highly recommend Maloon's Knife Sharpening service. And if you do not live nearby, Dan offers mail-in service.

Dan is the guy for your knives without a doubt. I made an appointment for sharpening and he was there right on time. I gathered up a few friend's knives as well to make it more worthwhile and ended up regretting it. Dan did a wonderful job, I got the knives back and then scratched my friend's highly polished blade with a sponge. Called Dan back on the case and he went out of his way to polish out the knife. Really out of his way. Totally above and beyond the call of duty. Also his pricing is beyond competitive.
