Professional whetstone sharpening for Melbourne chefs, restaurants, and home cooks. Mail-in service with 2-3 day workshop turnaround and Express Post return. Western and Japanese knives both handled at the correct edge angle.
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. Send the knives in 1-2 days, get them back inside a week.
Postage from Melbourne. Express Post from Melbourne reaches us in 1-2 days. Most Melbourne orders are back in your hands within 4-5 business days. For $>$100 orders we cover Express Post on the return leg. Most Melbourne restaurant kitchens batch 8-12 knives at a time and 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.
