About Us
A Sharpening Service You Can Trust
At Sharp Matters, we believe sharp knives are more than a convenience — they’re a joy to use, a mark of care in the kitchen, and a safety essential.
Born out of years of experience under the previous name Mirror Blade, our service has sharpened thousands of blades for chefs, home cooks, and tradespeople across London. Now relaunched as Sharp Matters, we’re bringing that same trusted quality to a wider audience — with a fresh look, an expanded mobile service, and a national courier option.
Crafted by a Knife Maker
Unlike most sharpening services, Sharp Matters is run by someone who doesn’t just sharpen knives — but makes them. That means we understand blades inside out: from steel composition to edge geometry, from balance to feel.
Because we know how knives are built, we can also do what many other sharpening services cannot: full restorations, complex repairs, tip rebuilds, re-profiling, and handle work. Your damaged knives aren’t lost causes — they just need the right hands.
Every knife is assessed with care, sharpened using professional belts and whetstones, and finished by hand to ensure it leaves our hands better than it arrived.
The Mobile Workshop
Our fully equipped van lets us bring professional sharpening directly to your door — whether you’re a home cook in need of a tune-up or a restaurant prepping for a busy week. Clean, fast, and self-contained, the mobile workshop is designed to deliver high-quality results with zero mess or disruption.
For those outside of London, our courier service offers the same great results with quick turnaround and fully insured return.
Why “Sharp Matters”?
Because it does.
A sharp knife is safer. It’s more enjoyable to use. It treats food with respect and reflects the care of the person holding it. We’re here to make sure your tools are always ready — with craftsmanship you can count on.
