We're Delighted You Found Us!

Welcome to Element Knife Company, established by Chef Elan Wenzel in 2010. Between his formal training in Japan and culinary background, we bring you over 20 years of experience working with Japanese cutlery. Chef Wenzel has spent his career ‘honing’ in on top quality products, curating wares for home chefs and professionals. As a chef driven company, we believe it’s important that the quality of your tools and manner in which they are cared for match the depth of your enthusiasm.

Sharpening Services

Element Knife Company specializes in wet grinding and hand sharpening using ceramic & diamond water stones. These techniques provide the sharpest edges. Knives can be dropped off at the shop during business hours. We operate on a first come first serve basis. Turnaround times will vary depending on volume of the queue. We will contact you once your order is completed and ready for pickup at your convenience.

 

CURRENT TURNAROUND TIME — Next business day.

Please leave your knife blocks at home - wrap knives in a towel/newspaper/bubble wrap. Thank you!
