Before a stone ever touches your blade, we analyze it. We look for micro-chips, rolled edges, and the current bevel angle. We use magnification on the edge to see exactly what's happening at a microscopic level. This ensures we apply the absolute best solution for your specific knife, removing only the material necessary.
Depending on the damage and steel hardness, we progress through a series of Japanese water stones. We establish a new, clean apex.
We refine the edge with high-grit stones to polish the bevel, followed by leather stropping to remove the burr. The result is a mirror-finish edge that glides effortlessly through ingredients.
