Sharpening Services

Knives

  • This service includes tailored sharpening using my setup of custom-built low-speed, water-cooled belts. Finished on whetstones and leather strops.

  • Hand-sharpening on traditional Japanese whetstones. This process allows a highly nuanced and gentle approach and is recommended for all traditional Japanese knives. All knives are finished on high-grit natural stones.

  • Hand-sharpening on whetstones for wide bevel knives (Deba, Yanagiba, etc)

  • Removal of material along the entire edge

  • Removing material from the spine towards the edge and creating a new tip

  • Rust removal and tsubaki oil treatment

Garden Tools

  • Other bladed items - inquire for details

  • Sorry, I don’t sharpen lawnmower blades!

Scissors

  • Some day!

  • Salon shears is a whoooollllee other ballgame! Someday I hope to receive training on salon shear sharpening, but for now I don’t offer this service.
