Knife Sharpening Serivice

Skarpari Knife Sharpening Gallery Image

We are accepting limited knife sharpening by appointment.

If you're looking for a knife sharpening service that can get your blades razor-sharp while preserving the temper of your steel, look no further than our shop. We utilize the Tormek sharpening system, which uses a water-cooled stone to prevent overheating and damage to your knives. Plus, we use jigs to ensure we can replicate any exact angle you need. So whether you're a professional chef or a home cook who just wants their knives to be as sharp as possible, we can help you out.
