How We Sharpen

Always Done by Hand

The main sharpening process is always done by hand using our low RPM water-cooled diamond wheels, Japanese waterstone wheels, CBN wheels, grind stone wheels, leather and composite honing wheels.

Each Knife is Unique

We understand knives like no one else! Your knives will be sharpened and repaired accordingly by examining the material, design, and anatomy of the knife.

The Right Angle

We know the appropriate angles of different types of knives. From 10-16 degrees for Japanese knives, 17-20 degrees for German knives, and 3-6 degrees for serrated knives.

Broken Tips

We will create a new knife tip by grinding down the existing tip. Knives that have a new tip will have a blade that is slightly shorter than the original length. We will contact you before we proceed.

Chipped Blades

Knives with chipped blade is very common, but don’t worry, we can fix that! We will reduce the height of the blade and recreate a new cutting edge. Only after this will we proceed with the sharpening process. We will contact you before we proceed.

What We Can't Fix

Sadly, there are a few things we can’t fix.

1. Broken knife handles. We specialize in blade sharpening and repair only.

2. Knives that have cracks originating from the spine of the knife.

3. Highly flexible blades such as filet knives.

4. Twisted blades where the twist is along the vertical axis of the blade.

5. Knives that have cracked near the handle.
