Culinaris - Knife Sharpening Services

IMPORTANT: Please download the attached document here, fill out the required information, and send it to us along with the knives you have selected and a copy of your order confirmation. A separate online order must be placed for each knife.

Good knives always need a little care from time to time. Every knife loses its sharpness at some point, and what's more annoying and spoils the fun of cooking? Right. A blunt knife.

In addition to high-quality knives, we also offer our own sharpening service. The knives are sharpened in the classic Japanese V-grind; a conversion from the German U-grind to a V-grind is possible.

The knives are professionally hand-ground using wet whetstones with various grits – initially 240/1000 – and then polished to 3000/8000. Polishing preserves the knife's sharpness for longer when used correctly, and any open pores are closed.
In many cases, depending on the steel used, the knife's sharpness is even sharper than when purchased new.

If your knives have any damage, we can repair it to a certain extent. For example, broken tips or chipped blades. Please use our contact form or send an email directly with a picture of the damaged blade to: service@culinaris.eu Your knife will be assessed and a cost estimate will be prepared.

We assume no liability for blades that have already been sent to us that are severely damaged or torn. Not every knife can be repaired; if in doubt, please contact us first.
