Town Cutler offers the very best in sharpening. With our knowledge and experience in proper sharpening techniques and our top of the line equipment, we will sharpen your edge to the exact degree. Shop owner, Galen Garretson, does all sharpening on site.  

Town Cutler sharpens each knife using multiple steps on Japanese Whetstones – typically starting off at 1,000 grit and finishing between 10,000 grit and 30,000grit.  After polishing on stones, the knife is brought to a razor finish on a leather strop, similar to what you might see in a high-end barbershop. Leave your knife set at the shop for a 24-hour turnaround, or opt to stay and browse our quality selection of knives and accessories while your knives are sharpened, which can take up to 15-minutes per knife.
