Knife Sharpening and Services

ALL Locations temporarily closed as of 3/17 

It is out of an abundance of concern for our community that we have decided to temporarily close all Town Cutler locations. We wish you all good health and safety in this challenging time. We hope to reopen soon and will keep everyone posted.

Our online store will remain open, but with possible shipping delays. If you have knives with us that have been sharpened we will be contacting you and arranging for delivery.

Stay safe and be kind!

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. All sharpening is done onsite.

Town Cutler sharpens each knife using multiple steps on Japanese Whetstones – typically starting off at 1,000 grit and finishing between 6,000 grit and 10,000 grit. 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.  With precision whetstone sharpening each knife is sharpened differently depending on the type of steel and its use.  

Sharpening never takes longer than 24 hours.  Same-day sharpening depends on the amount business we have for the day.  If you need a rush job, please call first. On Saturdays, we offer a limited amount of same day knife sharpening at no extra charge. Knives must be dropped off by 3 pm for same day service. Offered on a first come, first served basis.
