Kneighborhood Knives is a Portland-based mobile sharpening studio offering full service knife sharpening & repair.

I chose the name Kneighborhood Knives carefully. I wanted to express the feeling of community and connection that comes with providing local, in-person sharpening.

Hand-sharpening is powerful; not only is it steeped in tradition, it is a way of honoring our trusted tools and promoting longevity and vitality in our everyday lives. Our knives provide us with something special; when we honor them and keep them in prime condition, we also honor ourselves.

I sharpen using custom-built gear (water-cooled, low-speed) alongside natural & synthetic Japanese whetstones and diamond plates. My process allows a nuanced and purposeful approach to sharpening that removes the minimum amount of material from the blade. My techniques promote your blade’s longevity and result in a sharpening job that is tailored to each knife.

In addition to offering knife sharpening services in Southeast Portland, I make house calls and host mobile sharpening pop-up events at local businesses.

Come see me and let’s bring your knives back to life!
