Sharpening Process

A clear step-by-step from drop-off to handover.

The full receive – store – handover chain

Your knife is tracked closely throughout the sharpening process.

1

Receive

Log the current condition (chips, dullness, rust), tag each knife with its own ID.

2

Assess the angle

Determine the right original angle for the blade type before starting.

3

Sharpen to angle

Hand-sharpened across multiple grits, checked periodically during the process.

4

Store

Kept in its own sleeve-lined tray, protected from contact with other knives.

5

Handover

Checked together with the customer, with a safety reminder for handling a freshly sharpened blade.

The full edge profile card

Common sharpening angles by knife type, for reference.

European 20°

Suited to common chef's knives, prioritizing edge durability for daily kitchen work.

Japanese 15°

Suited to thin Japanese blades like santoku, gyuto — precise cutting but needs more careful care.

Serrated edge

Preserves the serration profile, each tooth sharpened individually rather than flattened.

Single bevel

Only one side is sharpened per the original design, not symmetrically on both sides.
