"Awesome knife sharpening that restored my faith in humanity. It’s the little things. My husband spent a fortune on a Takayuki Damascus VG-10 birthday gift that I absentmindedly chipped, using the wrong side to crack open a coconut. My heart sank when it happened and I cried quietly on my lanai. In dire moments of need, Google comes to the rescue. I found Wolf’s Cutting Edge Sharpening service on Google Maps with great reviews. Make sure you call ..."

"Googled this place for the number of reviews (114) and average rating (4.8 out of 5). Decided to go check it out; blink and you'll miss it, total hole-in-the-wall. Called and this viking looking dude pops out; friendly as all hell, says to have a seat in the shade and he'll be done in 20+ minutes. Sure enough; just as I'm getting into my social media, he has all five of my knives done. Cleaned, polished and honed to a razor's edge. He even did th..."

"My parents gifted me this Komachi set of knives from Costco and I've had them for about six years. They've worked very well for home cooking but my purple chef's knife began having nicks in the blade. I'm very pleased to have taken my knives to Wolf as he sharpened away the nicks and brought my knives back to life. He was quick to respond, professional, accommodating and very friendly. It was $25 to get all four of my knives sharpened which is so..."

"Look no further, Wolf’s the expert and he’ll handle everything with his high standards of quality. He dealt with both my delicate pocket knife and large kitchen knife with no problems. The small metal shed could be difficult to find but google maps has the location accurately placed. Pay the price and receive a quality workmanship in a short period of time as well as any knife tips or expertise you can think of. I recommend and I’ve returned mult..."

"Mojo Tactical is a hidden gem! Despite the shop's small size, you'll be amazed by the incredible and wide selection of patches and occasional gear they offer. You won't find a more diverse variety of patches anywhere else. Dave, the owner, brings years of industry experience and a clear passion for patches. He's not only knowledgeable but also a fun person to chat with. If you're into patches or tactical gear, do yourself a favor and visit Mojo T..."

Bryan Lopez

"Dave provides great services for his store and the gun store behind it, I was able to ask him about gear sold at either stores and he was happy to help get the prices and stock for me. Highly recommend shopping at Mojo tactical, the quality of service and apparel are top notch!"

John

"3/14/2022 I received a phone call that my knives were finished so I picked up my four Henckles knives, my Henckles kitchen shears, and a small Sekiryu cleaver that I dropped off on 3/7/2022. They were neatly wrapped in the cardboard tray that I dropped them off in. I was able to use a credit card since my cost was over $25. I was excited to bring them home to use because I hadn't sharpened my knives since 5/24/2015. They're so sharp and shiny ag..."

Quinn Culver

"It speaks to the character of this gentleman that he was willing to give me a quick DIY sharpening lesson on a job that wouldn't've been worth his or my while . Seems most people would've just sent me packing. My blender is working much better now. Thank you!"

"I bought a gorgeous knife here. Beautiful and honest craftsmanship, and great advice from Takeshi. Would buy every Japanese knife there if I had the funds. Upon purchasing, Takeshi sharpens the blade like a true artist. If you’re considering buying any “major” factory brand like Global or Shun from some department store - don’t. Go see Takeshi and get a proper knife. You will thank yourself and Takeshi for it."

Teina Anthony

"Nope. Went in there and maybe he was having a bad day? Asked if he could touch up my 12” Wustof and dude would even give me the time of day much less even look at the knife. Now I’m a professional working Executive Chef and this hands down was the WORST customer service ever, I was thinking about buying a blade because his prices were reasonable, but after a quick reality check, why would I wanna even bother wafter getting “the treatment”. Maybe ..."

"I'm a Japanese boy who visited your store in February 2024. The customer service was great, but more than anything, the knives lined up were beautiful! I bought two, and I use both of them when fishing and filleting fish. I really respect you as a fellow Japanese. I will definitely return to your store someday, so I hope to see you again then."

Julio Gutierrez

"I've purchased a couple of chef knives from Takeshi, always top service, honest never tries to rip you off. he always explains what type of metal the knife is made out of and who manufactured it. he also has some odd blades and some very specific purpose tools. altogether always a great experience and also fast sharpening."

"FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF. A LOT OF LITTLE PRODUCTS THAT ARE HARD TO FIND."

ホヌ

"The store is lovely, and it's filled with items that Japanese people would be excited about. They have a selection of things that you'd expect to find in Japan, but surprisingly, they're hard to find. Caution ⚠️ I bought several items, had them bagged, and when I got home and opened them, one of them was missing. The fact that I paid for the bag backfired. The price was properly added to the receipt. I guess the reason was that the clerk didn..."

"My friends and I came here a while ago because I wanted to buy my mom a gift. I noticed an old white lady following us around. I asked her if she needed something from us. Her reply was, “I’m just watching you.” Yeah. I’m not giving my money to a business that wrongfully suspects me of stealing. I’ll gladly spend it elsewhere. Edit To The Owner: Yes, this happened more than 6 months as I’ve stated this happened a while ago. I’m confident I have..."

"When I walked into the store, I was greeted with nothing but unkind stares by who I am assuming to be the manager of the building, she identified herself as Jennifer Lin. As I walked around the store, she followed me. I believe this was a racially motivated towards me as she didn’t observe anybody else in the store. If it is important to know, I am of African-American lineage. I am never going to be returning to this store again. Specially not af..."

"I purchased a set of pro knives and added a set of 4 steak knives. I worked with Doreen and was very pleased with the knowledge and service she provided. She’s a huge asset to your business. She wasn’t overbearing, but rather had a calm demeanor that didn’t make me feel pressured. When I come back, I’ll specifically ask to work with her. If she’s not on shift, I’ll come back."

"I had a very helpful experience at Zwilling in Alamoana mall, Honolulu. I went to see if I could purchase the bottom of a Staub casserole dish that I had put on a stove top burner, (not recommended!), and it cracked. I wanted to see if I could just buy the bottom. The lid was fine and I love my Staub ovenware! Well, the lovely manager of the store took my name and number and said she would figure out if she could get a replacement part for me. Th..."

"Wow! So I walked into the store today and there were 3-2 females and a male working. Absolutely no acknowledgment whatsoever. I found it rude because I guess I didn't look like I was going to spend money but w/ their customer service skills I'll just shop online. 1 of the females were talking to a customer while the other 2 stayed behind the counter to talk story. The customers left and still no one bothered to see if I needed help. Then an..."

"Owner has extensive knowledge of all the things you want to know. Always helpful and will let you try his guns before you make your decision to buy. Will even help explain how to install the upgrades yourself to save some money and build some knowledge. Peeps say he's unreliable, but he is usually the only worker in the store. If he wants to eat, he has to close shop for a lunch break. A little inconvenient, but just call before you go an..."

"Bottom line - I would not ever recommend this place. The owner is really nice, however he is not reliable at all and all he knows how to do is sell sell sell. I bought a glock 19 and I took it home, tried it out. I was having some errors with the glock. I called him to talk about the problem, he said to come by his shop. I cam by a couple times, day after day just to find his shop still closed and it was around 2:00 PM. Not reliable at all, just ..."
