We use a two step process that begins by restoring the blade bevel on a wax treated silicon carbide sharpening wheel. The wax treatment keeps the blade cool through the beveling stage. Next we move to a honing wheel charged with jeweler's rouge for final polishing. This method leaves a mirror finish and removes a minimum of blade material so that your knives stay sharp and last for many years.
With good knife skills and a proper cutting board (wood, plastic, or rubber) your knives will stay sharp for many months. Most home chefs that use our service have their knives sharpened once per year.
Mail in knife sharpening is fast! Your knives will be sharpened and packaged for shipment within 1-2 days of receipt of payment. Return shipping is by USPS Priority so you won't be without your knives for long. If your knives are received on a Friday or Saturday they will be sharpened and sent out on the following Monday. I have a young family and they come first on the weekend.
