Specializing in Premium Knives

Are your knives working their best? Afraid to have your quality cutlery damaged by electric sharpeners or one-size-fits-all devices?

Your kitchen knives are an investment, and in many cases works of art. Whether you're a home chef seeking the most joy from your cooking experience or a professional whose livelihood depends on them, let me bring your dull blades back to life.

I practice the art of freehand sharpening on Japanese whetstones.

This means no rounded tips, crooked edges, or scratched flats from electric sharpeners or untrained staff at walk-in kitchen stores. Serving the Santa Barbara and Goleta areas, you'll have your knives back in hand faster than any mail-in service. I'm also equipped to sharpen household scissors, fabric shears, and electric hair clippers.
