Star Chef Sharpening understands that not all knives are the same, and we’ll treat your knives with the individualized care they deserve. For example, Western style Japanese knives are typically sharpened at 10-20 degrees, while European style knives prefer a 17-20-degree edge. There are other nuances, depending on which knife brand you own, which is why you need a professional knife sharpener to sharpen your knives the way they were designed.
Dominique Besson brings over 15 years of sharpening experience honed during a lifetime working as a professional chef and the restaurant industry. That’s why discerning professional chefs trust Star Chef Sharpening exclusively to sharpen and repair their knives. Star Chef Sharpening brings the same attention to detail used to sharpen professional chefs’ knives to home chefs’ knives. If you use a knife at work, let Star Chef Sharpening show you a better way to sharpen your blades. In fact, Star Chef Sharpening is a recommended sharping service for many.
For a complete list of everything we sharpen see the pricing list at the bottom of this page. If you don’t see the item you need sharpened on this page, please call us because we literally sharpen anything designed to cut.
Unfortunately, sometimes knife blades get nicked or broken, and you should resist the urge to throw damaged knives away because Star Chef Sharpening can probably repair the knife for a fraction of the cost to replace it.
If you have serrated knives that need to be sharpened, we sharpen serrated knives the correct way, not the quick, easy method many other sharpening services use. For example, when servicing serrated knives, we sharpen inside each serration to create new teeth. Another example of the Star difference!
