Texas Knife Sharpening faq

If you live near a knife sharpener, it’s easy to just take them and drop them off, and have your knives sharpened. For some it’s NOT so easy! What if you don’t live near someone who sharpens knives? Or, what if it’s just inconvenient to do so. 

Our process is Simple, Safe, and Sharp. Three simple steps.

1. Place your order and wait for our shipping box to arrive (Usually 2-3 days).
2. When your box arrives, use our Recycled packing material to pad and secure your knives and drop them in the mail.
3. Your knives we be received, sharpened and returned to you in a 24-hour period or less.

Your knives will arrive Sharper than brand new!

Basic Kitchen Knives are described as: 

• Chef Knives

• Pairing Knives
• Filet Knive
• Meat Cleavers

This also includes knives for:

• Hunting
• Fishing
• BBQ
• Pocket Knives
• Food Scissors

*Note: All knives must be 14” or less. If you have knives that are longer 14”, or even a Meat Cleaver, please contact us by email and we’ll be glad to help. Why? We need to know so that we may send you a box that will fit.

Specialty Knives are described as any Japanese styled Knives. This is considered an important sharpening process, we only sharpen these styled knives by Whetstones.

• Santoku
• Gyuto
• Nakiri
• Sashimi
• Deba
• Etc.

*Note: An upgraded price will be charged. Please contact us by email and a return call will be made to discuss your knives and the process. All knives sharpened by the use of a whetstone will be $25.00 each. This process is a much slower knife sharpening procedure.

We do not sharpen Ceramic Knives.

Most knives will be sharpened by an Air-Cooled Belt System. This is widely used by most major knife brands if they offer free sharpening. 

We also use water-cooled whetstones on certain high-quality (Specialty Knives) knives to ensure we do not overheat the metal.

Unfortunately, Yes! 

Most knives that have broken tips, minor or major chips on the edge, or even bent knives, can be repaired at an additional cost. During the initial inspection before the sharpening process, we will notify you of any additional cost. 

Most of the time, these repairs can be fixed.
