I’ll collect your knives, transport them in a padded case, sharpen them, and return them the same day.

I use a professional, low speed, water-cooled stone wheel to gradually reshape the bevel of your blade to its original angle. After grinding, I hone and polish the edge on a leather honing wheel with a fine compound to remove burrs and achieve a razor-sharp edge.

Tell me how many knives you need sharpened and we can arrange a pick up time. Feel free to ask questions or send pictures for an appraisal. Please have the knives somewhere accessible (you can leave them on your doorstep, or I can come inside). I will give you an estimate on how long it will take and how much it will cost. At the end of the day, I will return your knives and collect payment.

How do I know if my knife needs to be sharpened?
How do I know if my knife needs to be sharpened?
A sharp knife should cut effortlessly. If you notice it struggling, tearing food, or sliding off surfaces, it’s time for sharpening. Try the paper test! If it doesn’t slice cleanly through a sheet of paper, it needs sharpening.
What’s the difference between honing and sharpening?
What’s the difference between honing and sharpening?
Honing realigns the edge of your knife, helping it maintain sharpness without removing much metal. Sharpening removes material from the blade to restore its edge when it’s dull. Honing is done regularly, while sharpening is needed less often, typically when the edge starts to feel dull or ineffective.
Can you repair chipped blades, cracked blades, broken tips?
Can you repair chipped blades, cracked blades, broken tips?
Usually. Small chips along the edge of the blade can be sanded out. Cracked blades are typically beyond repair. Send me a picture and I’ll let you know if a repair is feasible.
Will sharpening remove too much metal from my knife?
Will sharpening remove too much metal from my knife?
No. The sharpening stone I use spins very slowly and has a precise angle measuring system that allows me to sand the bevel only. I alternate between sides and gradually reduce the grit of the wheel just enough to form a consistent edge. Honing and stropping remove miniscule amounts of metal.
How are the blades transported?
How are the blades transported?
Each blade is secured in a waxed canvas knife roll. I bundle the rolls in a towel, pack them in my backpack, and bike swiftly to my shop.
