What I sharpen

Every edge in the kitchen, and a few outside it.

Each blade is sharpened by hand to the angle it was built for.

  • Japanese knives

    Single-bevel to Santoku, set to the angle the maker intended.

  • Western knives

    German chef's knives, parers and pocket knives.

  • Shears and garden tools

    Kitchen shears and the tools from the shed, brought back to a clean edge.

  • Repair and restoration

    Chipped tips, imperfect edges, neglected steel and vintage tools.
