Knife Sharpening
We are happy to offer regular, professional sharpening service for knives, scissors and other blades.
Sharp knives are a pleasure to use, and are safer than dull knives. We want to make it easy for you to keep
your knives sharp. Simply drop off your knives any time before 6pm on Sunday evening. We'll give you a receipt which
you can use to pick up your knives any time after 11 am on Tuesday morning. It's that easy!
Who Does The Knife Sharpening?

Your knives will be in the capable hands of Matt from Perfect Edge Cutlery in San Mateo. Matt's been sharpening knives for us for a few years, and he gets rave reviews. Matt parks his specially outfitted truck
just outside the store, and does his knife sharpening right there. He uses a system of belts of various coarseness to give your knives the Perfect Edge.

Do Knives Have to be Dropped Off on Sunday for Sharpening?
|

Nope. Sunday dropoff just gives you the quickest turnaround. You are welcome to drop your knives off any day, but Matt only comes once a week. If, for example, you drop your knives off on Tuesday, they won't be ready until the following Tuesday.
