Client Reviews

“Paul Cody did a superb job on our Mac knives. We drove into yucca Valley, dropped off the knives, did a little shopping and picked them up an hour later. We will be going back to him with all or sharpening needs and will recommend him highly!”

— Carol K.

“I took my everyday use folded steel kitchen knives into Cody's a few weeks ago. It had been an embarrasingly long time since they were last sharpened and they were so dull I was hating every time I had to use them. I told him I wanted them to be sharp enough to thin slice tomatoes. Well I've been using them almost everyday for a few weeks now for all sorts of meal prep and I can still thin slice a tomato. He was kind and professional and was able to get all three of them done same day. I have a new go to place for all my sharpening needs, so glad I found him!”

—Cambria H.

“Cody sharpened about 50 kitchen knifes. What a great person he is. Started on time and sharpened each knife with special attention. Thanks Cody for a job well done, and most it was a pleasure to meet and talk to you.”

— Chef Roland
