Sharpening Services

This service includes tailored sharpening using my custom-built setup of low-speed water belts and rotary whestones. All knives are hand-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 and leather.

Hand-sharpening on whetstones for wide bevel Japanese knives where the large primary bevels are sharpened (vs secondary or micro bevel)

If a chip removal is quite large, thinning may be necessary to ensure the knife is not too thick behind the edge.

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