SHARPER IS BETTER
We want everyone who uses kitchen knives at home or on the job to be more successful. We take pride in our craft, making adjustments and repairs as necessary to give you the best result.
Metal is hard. Sharpening is simply the act of using something harder to remove material to build a cutting edge. We use rough tools - from 60 grit to 3500 grit - in our sharpening process.
OUR APPROACH TO SHARPENING
No two sharpenings are the same. Before sharpening, we assess each knife – the metal used in the blade, the condition of the knife edge, and the knife’s intended use. If repairs are needed or the blade must be reshaped to correct a problem, we’ll tell you what needs to be done before we sharpen each knife to its full potential.
Only one customer's knives are on the bench at any time to avoid any confusion or mix ups. Knives are first sharpened on belts, then finished on wheels. Each is deburred before being returned you - sharp and ready to use.

GUARANTEE
You'll love your knives, or we'll sharpen them again for free. It's that easy. After that, if you're still not happy (within 30 days) we'll refund your money.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Use a honing rod (steel or ceramic) on your knife blades to extend their sharpness between professional sharpenings. Some home cooks and chefs hone their knives after every use; others hone when their knives start to feel a little dull. Knives that get a lot of use should be sharpened professionally once or twice a year for optimal performance.
