Yes, we are happy to sharpen any knives, no matter where they were originally purchased.

Turnaround time is typically up to 24 hours, but same-day sharpening may be possible depending on our current workload. Please contact us in advance to confirm availability.

We use traditional Japanese sharpening techniques with ceramic, diamond, and natural water stones. For extremely dull knives, we may use specialized machinery before finishing them by hand on sharpening stones to ensure the sharpest edge.

We only service clean knives. If your knife is dirty when dropped off, we will charge a $10 cleaning fee.

We recommend securely wrapping your knives in a towel, using a knife roll, or covering the blade with a guard for safety when bringing them in. If you have used our services before, please reuse the bag and guards that were provided to you.

You can drop off your knives during business hours. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

We are located at 1701 Platte St. Denver, CO 80202
