A combination of whetstone & natural stone sharpening, to ensure removal of the least amount of material necessary for a razor sharp edge.
Hand Sharpening: $2.50/inch
Service Industry Discount: $2.00/inch
After extended sharpening & use, a knife’s edge will thicken as more material is removed, completely shrouding the cutting edge, making it impossible to hold an edge.
Thinning a knife brings it back to its original geometry so it cuts like brand new! Re-polishing is necessary after to bring back the original luster.
