Vinny, his wife and baby are very lovely people. They were very friendly and welcoming. I dropped off my whole knife set in horrible condition. I received my knives less than 2 hours from when I dropped them off. Not only are they like brand new, they are beautiful again. Vinny rereconditioned the handles as well as sharpened them. The knives, are totally brand new again. Not only were they done in 2 hours and insanely sharp, Vinny showed me what I should and shouldn't do with them. I am very grateful and now a customer for life. Thanks Vinny!

Vinnie sharpened kitchen knives, kitchen scissors and many yard tools. I do sharpen my own but I could never get the sharp edge he gets. He took them apart, cleaned off the rust and put items back together using a food safe lubricant. My tools are older and made better than many of the cheaper plastic tools so I want to preserve and care for these items. Using a professional to help me do this is important to the life of my kitchen and yard tools. The downside? I really have to be careful now that they are so sharp, I had to use the bandaid he included once the work was done.

Vinny is a stand up guy, did an excellent job on both knives, including one i used as a crow bar and took a notch out. He made them very sharp and looking new again! Thanks Vinny you will have my business in the future & I will tell everybody I know!

10/10 sharpening experience!

The Knife guy sharpened two chefs knives and my lawn mower blade! There’s nothing he can’t do!

This is the first time I’ve used “Vinny” The Knife Guy. I’m very satisfied with his work. I live approximately 1/2 hour away from his home. He was able to sharpen my knives while I waited so I wouldn’t have to come back. Very thoughtful. I’ll be using him again.

Vinny has been sharpening my knives for the past 2 years and does an amazing job. He now is at the William Sonoma once a month on Saturdays which is very convenient as well. Thank you Vinny for taking care of me and my Shun Knives 🔪

Vinny’s sharpening results are great!

He is at William’s Sonoma in the Shayden Summit shopping center every 3rd Sat each month, from 10am - 2pm. He sharpens on-site, even serrated knives and scissors. If you can’t make it to William’s Sonoma, he can sharpen at his home in S Reno.

He returns your knives very nicely packaged and bowed up, and he is reasonably priced.

Very nice guy and a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Vinny The Knife Guy for your sharpening needs!!!

Soooo great and amazing! Super fast, affordable. Totally awesome!! Happy happy happy!

Vinny at The Knife Guy was fantastic. He sharpened a couple of knives for me, and I was genuinely blown away by how beautifully they came out. The whole process was easy from start to finish — he was responsive, worked around my schedule, and made everything seamless.
When I picked them up, the packaging alone showed how much care he puts into his work. Every detail felt thoughtful, and the knives were incredibly sharp. He even followed up afterward, which I really appreciated.
Vinny brings back that traditional sense of skilled trade and craftsmanship that feels rare these days. That especially means a lot to me because my dad was in auto upholstery, so I’ve always had a deep appreciation for true workmanship. He’ll definitely be my go-to knife guy from now on.

Super easy and great customer service! I will definitly use The Knife guy in the future!

Just had several knives and 2 pairs of kitchen shears sharpened by Vinny, The Knife Guy. He did a wonderful job sharpening all my knives and scissors! Highly recommend him for your sharpening needs!! Thank you for a great service!!

Vinny replied to my inquiry quickly and offered to sharpen my knife the same day! He was very kind and did an amazing job bringing my dull Benchmade back to life. Highly recommend!

Really nice dude and a very sharp knife. Will return.

Had my Shun knives sharpened. I told my husband I think they’re sharper than when we first bought them! I’m very happy with them!! Communication with him was very easy and smooth. Very friendly! Highly recommend him!

The knife guy was awesome. He was professional, and courteous. I work at a salon and I did look at some reviews and it did seem like he has only done kitchen, scissors and knives of course as the name implies . However, he asked me if I did more slide cutting or push cutting. Which no one has ever asked me before when they have taken my scissors to sharpen. When I when I got some back they cut like butter. I couldn't have been happier. So I highly recommend to anyone that is in a salon to give this guy a try.

The Knife Guy is the best kept secret in Reno. It is so nice to have someone to trust with really nice knives. Drop-off and pick-up was a breeze; knives were ready later that same day and finished product is fantastic.

Getting Vinny to sharpen my knives was the BEST- easy to schedule, easy to drop off and pick up, super super fast, got my knives back all nicely wrapped and super sharp- better than new!!! He was also easy to communicate with… I have a set of fancy Shun Knives, and I trust him with them.
Also, fair price, easy to pay… Highly recommend him!

We’ve had our knives sharpened by Vinnie several times over the past several years, always with exceptional results. My son now brings his knives when he visits so we can have Vinnie sharpen them. Along with sharpening he always provides helpful to prolong the life of a sharpened blade. Always a wonderful experience, I highly recommend his service!

Vinny was very friendly and did a wonderful job!
