Ever wondered what we do here at Fine Edge Knife Sharpeningto get your knives perfectly sharp?

Today we had this beautiful Aritsugu Deba brought in by a customer - for those that don’t know this is a Japanese hand forged blade from Kyoto - produced by one of the finest blade-smiths in the world

- This was a 50th birthday gift that the customer trusted us to get it back to its original glory after a fair bit of use and abuse

The customer opted for our full tune up, this includes:
- Rust removal and treatment
- Handle decontamination
- Chip removal
- Sharpening to a 10,000 grit finish
- Mirror Edge Finish with leather strop + fine compound
- Bone rehydration and conditioning
- Wood oiling and conditioning

We’re often asked what we actually do to get knives so sharp? - so with the customers permission we have put in some pictures of the process and a bit of an explanation:

- Unlike most, we refuse to use electric powered sharpening systems, instead our knife sharpening is completed 100% by hand - no belt sanders, no grinders and no mistakes
- Hand sharpening, whilst slower and more technical results in the removal of less material, less damage to the blade and an overall better finish
- We use a CNC machined jig to hold the knife in the perfect position, allowing a precise calibration of the sharpening angle, making the edge perfectly beveled, every time
- The stones of choice for this knife are 100% natural Arkansas whetstones ranging from 3000 - 10,000 grit - a perfect fit for this high carbon Japanese steel
- With over 40 whetstones in our arsenal, we pick the perfect stone to service your knives, but all are finished to 10,000 grit - which results in a very very sharp, durable edge
- Following sharpening all knives are finished with a leather strop to produce a smooth flawless mirror finished edge
- Additional services such as chip removal, reprofiling, decontamination, conditioning and rust removal are carried out prior to the final sharpening - ensuring nothing compromises the sharpness of the edge

As always, the customer was extremely happy with the outcome and is happy to have his pride and joy back to its former glory!

We can service any blade, so don’t hesitate to contact us with inquiries or booking requests

Stay sharp!
