What I work on
I don't sharpen saw blades or convex beauty shears at this time. I can sharpen almost any other kind of edged tool, and restore all kinds of things. If it isn't listed, just ask!

What makes us different
- Gentle: We use ultra-low-speed, water-cooled machines to avoid overheating and minimize steel removal, so your knives and tools can last a lifetime. We finish every edge by hand and test it to ensure it meets our high standards – and exceeds your expectations.
- Factory-sharp or better: Razor-sharp, long‑lasting edges on premium and everyday knives alike. Our precision process allows us to tune an edge to favor sharpness or durability, according to your needs and preferences. And we can repeat that result – every time.
- Care included: Cleaning, light polishing, and minor repairs are included in standard pricing. Your knives and tools won't just cut like new – they'll also come back looking great!
- Satisfaction guaranteed: If you're not delighted, bring it back within 7 days and we'll do it again – no charge.
- Sustainable: The greenest choice is to keep using what you already own. Don't replace your tired old knives and tools – let us revive them!

No matter – if there's some steel left to work with, we can save it!
