What Customers Say

Real reviews from satisfied clients across San Diego

★★★★★

“I took my Estwing hatchet to David to have it sharpened. I bought it off Facebook Marketplace, and to be honest, the previous owner hadn't taken care of it--it was rusty and completely dull.

David did an incredible job. He brought the edge back razor sharp, cleaned it up, and returned it looking far better than I expected. It cuts like a dream now.

I'll definitely be bringing my knives to him next. If you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing with sharpening, I highly recommend David.”

“David Strickler came to our home on 1-day notice, set up a workstation next to the back of his mobile business van, and went to work. He took his time and was conscientious to do a superb job. David sharpened about 15 cutlery and chef knives, one serrated bread knife, a large racheting pruner, a hand-held pruner, an ulu knife. and two pairs of scissors. One large pair had belonged to my mother and are about 75 years old. This is everything I asked him to do. I'm guessing he could have done my ax or other cutting tools. My prunes were pretty dirty and sticky and he cleaned them up great. He also showed me how he ground the base of my Henckel paring knives just a tad to create better contact if used on a board (I hand-hold to pare).

David was here about 3.5 hours. My son hired his services as a birthday gift for me because I love my knives & tools (father taught me to be self-sufficient with diy's). He charged a very fair amount for his unique services.

David seems like a really nice, old-school guy, and did an awesome job. Highly recommend.”

“Dave brought my old kukri back to life. This thing had been sitting in a closet for years and the edge was completely gone. He took the time to work it properly — you can tell he actually cares about the blade, not just knocking it out fast. It came back sharper than I thought was possible and he preserved all the original character on the handle and scabbard. Real craftsman. Already got more blades lined up for him.”

“I was struggling to find someone local who actually knew how to 'take down' a set of horse clipper blades properly without ruining the temper of the metal. Most places just do kitchen knives, but David is a specialist. He came out to our ranch in Escondido, and his mobile sharpening setup is top-notch. He saved me from having to buy new blades for the season and even tuned up my grooming shears. If you’re in North County and need precision tool maintenance, Wicked Edges by David is the only person I trust.”

“Running a busy kitchen means we can't deal with dull equipment. Wicked Edges by David is our go to for commercial knife sharpening in La Jolla. David is reliable, efficient, and gives us razor sharp edges that actually hold up during service. The convenience of the mobile service means zero downtime for my chefs. Highly recommend his sharpening services.”

“I almost threw away an old hunting knife and a serrated bread knife because they were useless. David performed a complete knife restoration on both. It’s amazing value compared to buying new expensive knives. Fast, friendly, and razor sharp results right at your door!”

“I didn't realize how dull my Wusthof set was until David worked his magic. The mobile knife sharpening service is a total game changer for busy families in San Diego. He arrived on time, worked right from his van, and my kitchen knives are now sharper than the day I bought them. Highly recommend!”

“David doesn't just do knives! He stopped by my house in Escondido and sharpened my lawn mower blades and some very rusty pruning shears. It saved me a trip to the hardware store and my yard work is so much easier now. The best garden tool sharpening service in North County.”
