Why post your knives in

Better than thecorner sharpener.

Melbourne's vibrant inner-city suburbs are home to Australia's highest concentration of premium salons and specialist barber shops, with strong demand for convex scissor sharpening from Japanese scissor enthusiasts. For Melbourne cooks and chefs, the question isn't whether the knives need sharpening (every kitchen knife in regular use does, eventually). It's whether to drive across town to a local sharpener with a flat wheel, or post the knives in to a workshop that uses the right tools for each blade.

We sharpen on Japanese whetstones at the original edge angle of each knife. Western chef knives at 18-22 degrees per side. Japanese gyutos and santokus at 12-15 degrees per side. Single-bevel yanagiba and deba preserved as designed. No flat-wheel shortcuts, no overheating, no aggressive metal removal. Total turnaround is 7 to 11 business days.

Postage from Melbourne. Melbourne customers post to our Gunning workshop with Australia Post. Total turnaround is 7 to 11 business days. For orders over $200 we cover Express Post on the return leg. Most Melbourne restaurant kitchens batch a full block of knives at a time and comfortably clear that threshold, so they never pay return postage.

Climate notes for Melbourne kitchens. Melbourne's dry climate is actually ideal for blade storage. Lower humidity means less risk of rust, but you should still maintain regular oiling habits.
