Some Frequently-Asked questions our first-time residential customers often Have about our
knife-sharpening service.
Would you be happy with your knives if the edge was sharp? If your knife costs more than $8 to purchase, it probably makes sense to have it sharpened as opposed to buying a new knife. We can reshape and sharpen your knives, often creating a sharper edge than new. So, unless most of the metal from your knife has been removed, it probably makes sense to have your knives sharpened as opposed to having your knives replaced.
Our knife sharpening service is very cost effective and can fit any budget. We offer drop off locations around the valley, on site sharpening in select locations, and even schedule knife sharpening at your home. Each of these various service levels come at a different price. To avoid price confusion, we suggest filling out the “Sharpening Near You” pop up on our website for detailed pricing or feel free to give us a call.

This is a great question! If your knives are dull, you probably should have had them sharpening some time ago. Most of our residential customers are once or twice per year, commercial kitchens are usually set up on a monthly service schedule.

I have purchased knives from him twice and referred family to him as well. I have not had him sharpen for me, but his knowledge of different steels, blade angles and manufacturers is superb. I live out of his usual service area and dealt with him by phone. He had all the time in the world to help me select the right knives, and I received them within a couple days. If the service you receive is what I received, you will be thrilled with your experience

Angela VaughanJeremy puts a fresh edge on my residential Wusthof blades, elevating my home food-prep game.
While I use a steel to maintain an edge, I was overdue for a grind. Jeremy met me out the back gate of my condo development on his way home from restaurant sharpening. On my first visit, I met him in a restaurant parking lot. Good to know that he is trusted by professionals.
Erik F.We have a nice set of very expensive Japanese knives that were poorly sharpened by another service. Fortunately, Sharpvan was able to repair the damage done! Thank you for your kindness and patience. Most of all thank you for knowing your craft! Your pride of ownership shines through in your work. I will never trust another “professional” service with my knives. You have a customer for life.

Richard M.What a difference a sharp knife makes! So glad I didn’t spend a lot of money to replace mine.
