Freehand Stone Sharpening

We have sharpened tens of thousands of high quality Japanese knives on stones, and appreciate the delicate nature they often require.  We use Shapton, Naniwa, or Nanohone as our sharpening stones up to 4000 grit, and will finish the edge on a flat leather strop loaded with 1 micron diamond emulsion.  The results are insane.  

    If the knife you desire to be stone sharpened is in good condition with no damage and “near original” edge geometry, and is in a handcrafted nature with a high carbon or stainless version thereof, please select this service.  

*Many readily available Japanese knives such as Shun, Global, Miyabi, etc… are often better off with the Standard Sharpening Service which you can purchase here.  

ATTENTION! This service is for sharpening the primary cutting edge only.  Any thinning needed to be done on the secondary edge will be done on a belt grinder.  Please read about and order this service here. (Thinning)
