Info & booking

This page is the hub for Knives in & Out: how it works, what I sharpen, and how to book.

I focus on practical sharpness, not fragile show edges. Every knife is sharpened by hand using a professional belt system and finished to a working edge that feels good on the board and holds up in real use.

Who I am

I’m the person behind Knives In & Out — a knife sharpening service built for people who actually use their knives.

I care less about mirror-polish showpieces and more about edges that feel good on the board, stay sharp, and make cooking or working easier. I started sharpening because I was tired of fighting dull knives in my own kitchen, and it turned into a craft I really enjoy.

When you hand me your knives, I treat them like my own: honest communication, realistic expectations, and no gimmicks — just clean, usable edges.
