Razor-Sharp Results, Wherever You Are
At Sharp Matters, we sharpen with the precision of a knife maker and the care of a craftsman. Whether you’re a home cook, a professional chef, or simply someone who appreciates a good edge, our sharpening service will bring your blades back to life.
We specialise in all kitchen knives, including European and Japanese blades, curved and serrated edges, and even ceramic knives.
Our Sharpening Process
Every blade is treated individually. We sharpen using a combination of a water-cooled belt system — engineered in-house — and precise hand-finishing techniques. This hybrid approach prevents overheating, protects the steel’s heat treatment, and results in a refined, razor-sharp edge.
We typically sharpen at a 17.5° angle, which we’ve found to be the optimal balance between edge retention and durability. However, we adjust our technique for specialist knives — such as single bevels, boning knives, and high-end Japanese blades. At times we apply a convex edge for additional strength when appropriate, for example in cleavers.
If you have specific preferences or technical requirements for your blades (e.g., angle, bevel type, or finish), we offer a fully bespoke service tailored to your needs.
We sharpen:
- Chef’s knives (Western and Japanese)
- Paring knives
