We sharpen a wide range of knives, including:

• Chef’s knives
• Paring knives
• Carving knives
• Japanese knives (e.g., Santoku, Nakiri)
• Serrated knives
• Ceramic knives
• Outdoor knives (e.g., camping, fishing)

If you’re unsure about a specific knife, feel free to contact us for clarification.

No. We do not sharpen swords, military knives, or any blade designed primarily as a weapon.

We are happy to sharpen practical-use knives—such as kitchen, fishing, and camping knives—and we can restore ceremonial or collector items for display purposes (not sharpened to a cutting edge).

Why? Because we believe in supporting responsible knife ownership and public safety. Our focus is on tools designed for cooking, craftsmanship, and everyday use—not combat.

Yes. As a knife maker, I can perform repairs that many others cannot, including:

• Tip restoration
• Chips and dents removal
• Blade re-profiling
• Handle repairs or replacements

Each knife is assessed individually to determine the best course of action.

Absolutely. We sharpen:

• Kitchen and household scissors
• Tailoring shears
• Hairdressing scissors
• Gardening tools (e.g., secateurs, loppers, shears)
• Woodworking tools (e.g., chisels)
• Lawn Mower Blades (if you can remove the blades yourself, we can’t take the whole lawn mower due to practical reasons!)

Please contact us if you have a specific tool in mind.

To maintain the sharpness of your knives:

• Use a strop or polishing tool before or after use to hone the edge, restore smoothness and performance, and extend the lifespan of your edge.
• (This is more effective and safer for the edge than honing rods for most users.)
• Hand wash only (even for corrosion resistant knives) — dishwashers pressure plus chemicals will ruin edge.
• Dry thoroughly with a cloth; never air dry. Especially important for carbon steel but good practice with stainless steel also.
• Store knives properly — use a magnetic strip, slotted block, or simple guards (even homemade paper sleeves work well!). Don’t let them rattle around in drawers.
• Avoid misuse — don’t use knives for opening boxes or anything other than food prep.
• Cut on the right surface — end-grain wooden boards or soft plastic boards help preserve the edge.
