The Sharpen Up Story

Our journey began with the simple frustration of using dull knives and the joy of discovering the difference a sharp blade can make.

We began fiddling with blade and stone and shared our passion with our friends and family. But we quickly realized that most people lack the time or patience to sharpen their knives, yet they still yearn for the pleasure of using a beautifully sharpened blade. People need a solution that doesn’t rely on those unreliable at-home sharpening tools.

We had to make it easy.

How can one service a household item without the inconvenience of inviting someone in or going out? Hence, the idea was born.

Knife Sharpening by Mail!

At last, everyone can experience the satisfaction of using a razor-sharp knife. Simply send us your dull blades from anywhere in the country, and we'll return them to you sharper then ever!

We Started in Our Garage.

Just Two Brothers.

Armed with a passion for the craft and a determination to revolutionize the industry. With each blade we honed, our reputation grew sharper, drawing in chefs, home cooks, and enthusiasts alike seeking precision and reliability. As word spread, so did our operation, now reaching kitchens nationwide with our convenient mail-in service all from our humble facility located in the New York metropolitan area.
