About
Sharp knives rock. Sadly many of us muddle through life, hacking away at tomato skins and bell peppers not even knowing there is a better way. A well-maintained knife is not only a pleasure to use, but more safe. It produces cleaner cuts and food that tastes better. Maybe more importantly - it helps foster joy during the act of cooking.
I am an ex cook and former restaurant operator who learned the hard way and began my culinary journey struggling in pro kitchens with dull knives. My eyes were opened when I joined a team that used hand forged Japanese knives and knew how to maintain them with whetstones. I had never handled anything so sharp in my life - it was love at first chiffonade.
The majority of professional sharpeners will ruin your knife using belt sanders running at extremely high speeds. They often drastically reduce the life of your blade by removing more material than necessary, produce an inferior edge, and potentially weaken the steel due to the high heat generated. Using a series of Japanese whetstones along with custom-designed diamond abrasives selected specifically for your blade, I refine the cutting edge with much less material removal and produce a sharper and longer lasting edge.
Let me show you true sharpness!
