  • We will arrange a date & time with you to arrive at your address and we can sharpen your knives there and then, just outside of your premise or further afield if preferred. As we do not need to take the knives away, we can offer you a very quick turnaround, and can normally sharpen within a few hours dependent on the number of knives requiring sharpening.

  • No, not at all. We employ precise water-cooled sharpening equipment that takes off only a very small amount of metal with each sharpen and also doesn’t heat damage the knife maintaining the knife’s hardness and preventing brittleness.

    Damage (and ironically dulling of) knives is a major concern associated with at-home knife sharpeners, which is what creates the need for a professional service. Find more information about our review of DIY sharpening solutions here

  • It depends! It depends on how often you use your knives and how sharp you need the knives to be.

    Many home cooks never have their knives sharpened and get by okay but probably find that they need to wrestle with their ingredients to have an effective cut. This is generally the case with meat and especially with bigger cuts of meat which can raise other concerns with an unsharpened knife, such as safety!

    Most home cooks will only need their knives sharpening a few times a year, on the other hand, chefs and butchers could need their knives sharpening on a monthly or weekly basis.

  • No, it is actually more dangerous to use a dull knife despite popular belief. Sharp Knives who are experts in knife care note:

    “Most of the safety concerns stem from the additional pressure required to push a dull knife through material”

    The additional pressure leads to less control and encourages home cooks to hack at pre-prepared ingredients instead of a gentle slice.

  • Buying good quality knives can typically cost between £40 and £250 per knife with specialist knives being even more expensive. With multiple knives in one kitchen, this is already a big investment and proper care of each knife is important to prolong lifespan. Sharpening a knife is only a fraction of this cost and restores them to feeling brand new. Some of our customers have even said that they are now sharpener than when bought new.

    If your style is to just buy new knives when you need them sharpened we could make use of the blunt old knives and refurbish them for others to use. I will say though that I can generally get a knife to be sharper than when they are first bought.

  • This was partially covered before, but it is safer primarily. It also makes cooking more enjoyable, quicker, and improves the precision of each cut. Sharp knives would be a necessity for butchers, but also very useful for cooks too.

  • You can get reasonable results using standard home sharpening equipment if you use it correctly. Learning how to do this properly makes a huge difference.

    Often people can’t diagnose their own mistakes so can ruin their own knives teaching themselves and the results are generally of worse standard.

    Using standard home sharpeners can seriously damage if done without applying the correct technique and knowledge. Standard home sharpeners can also cause the knife to overheat and increase brittleness. This is true for sharpening steels which are often akin to chefs.

    Furthermore, these sharpening methods also remove a hefty amount of metal, reducing the lifespan of the knife as well as not achieving the same sharpness or consistency provided by Blunt Solutions.

    When we sharpen we usually get great results due to using good techniques properly and employing specialist equipment.
