Got dull knives?

Let us sharpen them for you! Through our Takumi Sharpening + Care program, we offer a variety of services from edge touch ups to complete refurbishing. Every knife is carefully sharpened by hand using traditional sharpening techniques for the best edge quality and cutting feel.

Mailing your knives for sharpening? Fill out the intake form, then you will receive a custom box that allows you to ship us up to 6 knives at a time for sharpening. Otherwise, feel free to bring your knives to our store in Portland OR, anytime we are open.

We offer 3 tiers of sharpening - Kaiten, Nakato, and Shiage. The tier and fidelity are largely dependent on the quality of the blade's steel. Generally, most knives do well with our basic Kaiten sharpening service. We typically recommend our Nakato or Shiage services for high quality knives, such as Japanese kitchen knives. After assessing each knife, we give our recommendation as to which service would be best.

If the knife has any chips, breaks or damage, we charge a fee on top of the sharpening cost to cover the additional time and labor. We also offer single-bevel and serrated knife sharpening and charge by the inch.
