I offer a general sharpening service for everything from knives and scissors to garden tools.

​

This is only a local service for people in the Centenary suburbs or surrounding areas of Brisbane. You will need to drop off and pick up the knives at my workshop in Westlake.

​

I don’t offer mobile sharpening and I don’t take sharpening jobs via post (unless I made the knife).

​

I can generally turn knives around over night or over the weekend and have flexible pick up and drop off time outside of business hours for busy people.

​

Please contact me through my Facebook page for this service and send a photo of the items you need sharpened. I’ll give you a quote and arrange drop off/pick up times.

​

Pricing

 

Prices vary depending on the size and edge condition of the item. As a general guide a small paring knife starts at $6 while a chef knife is $10-15.

​

Examples

​

• Small paring knife  $6

• Most standard chef knives  $10-12

• Scissors $10-12

• larger blades (220mm+) from $15

• Bread knife $25 the serrations are much more time consuming

• Garden tools:

  • Shears $20​

  • Secateurs $12

  • Axes $10-15

  • Ask me about pricing for any other tools

 

If knives need repair work to reprofile and change the geometry then I charge an extra $5-10 per knife for this service, depending on the repairs needed.

​

Japanese knives

 

Being a knifemaker, I also specialize in sharpening and maintaining Japanese and other high-end, carbon steel knives that can be quickly ruined in the wrong hands.

​

For these knives, I offer a hand sharpening service. I use a selection of water stones and the service includes thinning behind the edge to fix the geometry, if required.

​

This starts at $25 for a small knife and is $35-45 for most standard size chefs 190mm-220mm.
