KNIVES AND SCISSORS

Do you dream of slicing a tomato like the celebrity chefs?  Now you can!  Having a sharp knife is essential and we’re here to help. 

Kitchen knives take a battering…peeling, chopping and dicing, not to mention rattling around in the kitchen drawer and frequent salt baths in the dishwasher.  All these things dull your blade and soon you find your dream of slicing that tomato is just a distant memory.

Professional knife sharpening restores the cutting edge to give you the best possible performance making food preparation a pleasure. However, if your idea of food preparation is opening a packet, we also sharpen kitchen and household scissors!  Some of our most frequently asked questions are: ​

How much does it cost? 

Knife sharpening prices range from £2.00-£5.00 dependent on the length of the blade.  There’s no difference in price whether the knife is straight or serrated.  If a knife edge is quite damaged and it requires re-grinding before sharpening, there may be an extra charge per knife.

​We also sharpen general household scissors, fabric shears and other kitchen implements from £4.00.  See our Price List page for more information. 

What equipment do you use? 

We sharpen knives on a water wheel, at a precise angle, which produces a very slightly concaved bevel. The bevel is further refined using a 2-grit polishing process which produces a smooth, razor sharp cutting edge. 

Can you sharpen bread knives and serrated knives? 

Yes we can, although they require sharpening much less often than a straight bladed knife.  Each type of serration requires a different process, but the end results are the same.  Note: Sharpening a serrated knife will very slightly wear away the tips of the serrations. 

Can you fix a broken tip? 

Yes, we can, although our method is a trade secret!  There may be a small charge for restoration if the break is quite pronounced, but once it’s fixed, you would never know there had been anything wrong with it.

How long does it take? 

A straight forward sharpen on a knife in good condition will a few minutes.  However, more time will be necessary if remedial work is required where the knife is worn or damaged in some way.  

How can I get my knives sharpened? 

  • visit us at one of the markets we attend for a ‘while-u-wait’ service.  Take a look at our Market Events page to find one near you.​​

         b) book a 'while-u-wait' appointment​
