We believe that careful workmanship and a sharp edge are the foundations of excellent service, rooted in the values of a true craftsman.
Care & Craftsmanship FAQ
How often should professional knives be sharpened?
For professional use, we recommend every 2-4 months. Home cooks typically benefit from a professional edge every 6-12 months, depending on usage and blade care.
What is the benefit of professional sharpening?
Professional sharpening provides precise edge control, minimizes unnecessary heat, and removes only the material needed to restore a sharp, dependable edge.
Do you provide sharpening for serrated bread knives?
Yes, we provide specialized sharpening for serrated edges, ensuring each individual scalloped tooth is restored to its optimal cutting performance.
How should I store my knives to maintain their edge?
We recommend a magnetic wooden rack or a blade guard. Avoid loose storage in drawers where blades can impact other surfaces and dull the fine edge.
Do you sharpen Japanese single-bevel knives?
We currently do not. We focus on western-style double-bevel knives, scissors, and landscaping tools.
