What makes us different

  • Gentle: We use ultra-low-speed, water-cooled machines to avoid overheating and minimize steel removal, so your knives and tools can last a lifetime. We finish every edge by hand and test it to ensure it meets our high standards – and exceeds your expectations.
  • Factory-sharp or better: Razor-sharp, long‑lasting edges on premium and everyday knives alike. Our precision process allows us to tune an edge to favor sharpness or durability, according to your needs and preferences. And we can repeat that result – every time.
  • Care included: Cleaning, light polishing, and minor repairs are always included. Major repairs are quoted.
  • Satisfaction guaranteed: If you're not delighted, bring it back within 7 days and we'll do it again – no charge.
  • Sustainable: The greenest choice is to keep using what you already have. Don't replace your tired old knives and tools – let us revive them!

Chef's knife rehab

Oh my. We think this poor specimen was the victim of a particularly bad pull-through sharpener – or maybe a garbage disposal?

No matter – if there's some steel left to work with, we can save it!

Scary-sharp EDC

EDC (pocket knife) enthusiasts are typically the most demanding sort of customer, and we enjoy the challenge. If we can make them happy, we're doing good work.

This $275 "Zero-Tolerance" folder came very sharp from the factory – but not this sharp.
