Knife Clinic

What we sharpen

If it slices in a kitchen, it probably belongs in the clinic.

We sharpen

Chef's & cook's knives

Western and Japanese, any size — restored to their factory edge angle.

Santoku, gyuto, nakiri & bunka

Japanese blades sharpened at their fine 12–15° angles with appropriate finishing.

Paring & utility knives

The small workhorses — precise tips and clean, even edges.

Bread & serrated knives

Each serration sharpened individually, the flat side cleaned and deburred.

Cleavers & butcher knives

Edge geometry restored for safe, confident heavy work.

Boning, filleting & slicing knives

Flexible blades handled with care to keep their profile true.

Carving sets

Sharpened and polished — ready for the table.

Kitchen scissors & shears

Re-aligned and sharpened for clean cuts.

What we don't sharpen

Ceramic blades

Ceramic requires diamond equipment and risks shattering — we don't accept it.

Heavily damaged or rusted-through blades

If a blade has deep structural damage we'll tell you honestly rather than sharpen it unsafely.

Swords, daggers & weapons

We're a kitchen clinic — culinary tools only.

Single-bevel specialty blades (yanagiba, usuba)

Traditional single-bevel sharpening is a different craft; we'd rather decline than do it imperfectly. Contact us and we'll advise.

Repairs & restoration

Chipped edges, rolled tips, and dull-beyond-belief blades are usually fixable — note it on the kit card and we'll assess each knife individually. If something can't be safely repaired, we'll contact you before doing anything.
