Good knives become great knives with regular service. Both honing and sharpening your knives regularly will keep them feeling sharp, making them your favourite tool in the kitchen.
We offer a Knife Sharpening Service in both Toronto & Montreal at each of our store locations. Bring us your knives on or before drop-off day (see below), give us a few days, and we'll return them to you perfectly sharp.
