David works from a sharpening setup beside his van, so a visit needs nothing more than a place to park. That’s handy for a kitchen drawer full of dull knives, and it’s why restaurants and ranches use him. Restaurant knives are sharpened outside while the kitchen keeps working. Ranch tools like horse clipper blades and shears are done on the property, so nothing leaves the barn.
Bring out everything at once: kitchen knives, scissors, pruners, the lawn mower blade, the old hatchet. One visit covers it all.
What Escondido customers bring
- Kitchen, chef’s, hunting and serrated knives

★★★★★“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.”
