We’ll call you when they’re ready (usually takes 1-2 days).

Note:

We will evaluate your knives when you bring them in. Additional sharpening charges may apply for knives that are badly damages or have unusually thick or oversized blades. In other words, if your knives haven’t been sharpened for decades or you have used your knife to chop wood, then it may take more work to sharpen them.

We can sharpen:

 

  • Eastern Style Knives (chef, paring, boning & utility)
  • Eastern Style Knives (Santuko & Nakiri)
  • Scissors(as long as they come apart – note that there will be a charge for 2 blades)
  • Pocket Knives

We cannot sharpen:

 

  • Serrated Knives
  • Professional Shears
  • Ceramic Knives
  • Mandoline Blades
  • Pinking Shears
