Do you sharpen Japanese knives such as Global, Shun, and Miyabi?
Certainly. We specialise in sharpening both Japanese and Western-style knives, including standard and carbon steel Japanese blades. Our technicians have over 25 years of experience working with premium brands including Global, Shun, Miyabi, Kai, MAC, and Kasumi, as well as Wüsthof, Victorinox, Zwilling, Sabatier, and Robert Welch. We adjust the sharpening angle to match each knife’s original specifications.
Do you offer knife repairs as part of the sharpening service?
Yes. In addition to sharpening, we provide complimentary repairs for broken and bent tips, chips, nicks, and full blade reprofiling, as well as oxidation removal. All repairs are carried out on-site during the service and are included completely free of charge, regardless of the extent of the damage.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment is taken on-site once the service is complete. We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and cash. There are no upfront deposits or pre-payments required — you only pay after your knives have been sharpened.
Do you sharpen bread knives, serrated knives, steak knives, and scissors?
Yes, we sharpen bread knives, serrated knives, table and steak knives, and domestic scissors as part of our standard service. We also sharpen Sheffield-made, Laguiole, and Opinel steak and table knives.
How do I book a knife sharpening service near me in London?
Booking is quick and easy. Visit our website and use the online booking calendar to select a date and time that suits you. We are available 7 days a week, Monday to Sunday, from 8am to 7pm. Same-day appointments are available on most days.
How often should I get my kitchen knives professionally sharpened?
For domestic home cooks, we recommend professional sharpening every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage. Professional chefs and busy restaurant kitchens typically need it every 2 to 4 months. Regular sharpening extends the lifespan of your knives significantly and is far more cost-effective than replacing them — a new Global knife alone can cost hundreds of pounds, while sharpening costs just £8.90 per knife. It is also better for the environment.
