KNIFE SHARPENING SERVICE FAQ'S

What sharpening method do you use?

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.

How often do I need to have my knives sharpened?

With good knife skills and a proper cutting board (wood, plastic, or rubber) your knives will stay sharp for months. Most home chefs that use our service have their knives sharpened a couple times per year.

How quickly can you do the work?

If we receive your knives by mail, we typically have them sharpened and on their way back to you within just 1-2 days! If you are located near Georgetown, Dry Ridge, Richwood, Florence or Hebron KY, and prefer to have your knives sharpened at your home or business, just send us an email to schedule the mobile sharpening service.

Do I need a PayPal account to use the mail-in knife sharpening service?

No. PayPal accepts any major credit card and you do not need to setup an account to use this payment option. We also accept checks and money orders if you prefer not to pay online.

Do I need to be home when the mobile knife sharpener visits?

No, you are free to go on about your day! Most often, the knives are left in a safe place on the porch, by a door, etc. We carefully sharpen your knives at our vehicle and return the knives where you left them.

What is the minimum charge to have knives sharpened at my home?

The minimum service call varies by location but starts at just $29. Visit the prices page for a full description of costs.
