"Vinny the Knife Guy is fantastic!! I reached out to him when we knew we’d be making a shopping trip in Reno, coming up from Mammoth. Even with a narrow window and tight turnaround, Vinny was able to accommodate our request. We brought about six very dull knives and he brought our beloved Japanese blades back to life. He also took care of a serious chip that had us thinking our knife was a goner. Vinny is super knowledgeable and very professional..."

"Just had my Shun knives sharpened by Vinny and they’re now as sharp as when I bought them! I reached out on a Saturday at 10AM via email, thinking I’d be able to drop them off one day during the week and pick up the next day. Well, he responded immediately and I had them sharpened while I waited and was home using them again by noon that same day. Watching him work, with all his safety gear, I knew I found the right guy. His attention to detail ..."

"I attended a knife sharpening event at our local Williams Sonoma store where I met Vinny Murgolo, the Knife Guy, and his wife. He sharpened 4 kitchen knives and returned them to me in the sharpest condition. Seemingly better than new. The process was quick and effective. The knives were placed in protective sleeves and wrapped for safe travel home along with a note card with knife care tips. Impressive service."

"The knife guys did an outstanding job bringing all of my kitchen knives back to their former glory. They were actually sharper than I remember when I first bought them. They were high end knives that I had spent a lot of money on so I was a little worried and skeptical, but they exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend them for any of your sharpening needs and I’ll definitely be using them in the future. Just be careful these things..."

"JW had my 5 kitchen knives sharpened to perfection within a couple hours of being dropped off at his shop. You'll get your knives back with a few band aids taped to them. You'll understand why when he demonstrates how sharp he got your knives. JW has the skill and the proper tools to deliver great value!"

Warren Ermish

"Having worked in the food and beverage industry for close to 20 years, I know how important a good knife and good sharp knife is. I live three hours away from Reno and finally found the best knife sharpener around. Fair price and Boyd this Jim do a great job! Highly recommend."

PAUL HULETT

"Great service and a very fair price"

Steven Vercellini

"Excellent! Brought in 3 kitchen knives for sharpening. Came back a couple of hours later and the knives were as sharp as razors. Even went above and beyond to clean up cosmetic scratches and make knives look like new. Very reasonable pricing. Good people. Highly recommend."

"I bought a🐒set of pots from the posh store at the summit mall in Reno in September. I burnt some herbs in water on my stove three months later and the bottom of the four uart pot buckled inside and out. They wouldn't swap it out under their lifetime warranty, after I was told they would and drove it over there. Now they want me to mail it to "corporate headquarters" since it's longer than 30 days. Now the bottom of my big pot is spotting in the ..."

"I agree w prior reviews. Some of the sales staff are very unfriendly. We did our wedding registry through here. We had to return several items and each time it took over 30 mins for someone to help w make the return. They didn't let me exchange for other items in store. I was given an e-merch card which then didn't work online. When I went back asking for help they said I had to call the national customer service and couldn't help me. I am so dis..."

"Poor quality workmanship and metals. My five quart pot warped inside and out boiling water, three months after I purchased a $900 set that supposedly had a "lifetime" warranty. The retail store (Summit mall) sent me to corporate, corporate sent me back to the store, and basically there is no warranty, it was a lie. Then: the stainless steel coatings are all disappearing after a year, and I basically had to throw them out as they fall apart. Custo..."

"We ordered an item to pick up in store, the confirmation email said it would be ready in two hours. We made the hour drive, grabbed some lunch, and went by. The item was not actually in store, and it took several phone calls and hours to get the item cancelled. We have been happy Williams-Sonoma customers for many years, but the Reno store, and phone customer service, made it clear they don't want to retain our business, in fact they went out ..."
