The Quick Answer
Most knife sharpening services charge about $1 per inch of blade length — a simple formula based on size alone. We take a different approach: we charge for results and time, not just blade length.
Our pricing: kitchen knives $10–$20 depending on blade length. Scissors from $8/pair. Garden tools from $10. No hidden fees, no minimum for drop-off.
Free porch pickup and delivery throughout Austin makes it even easier.

The Industry Standard: $1 Per Inch
Most sharpening services use a simple model: $1 per inch of blade. That makes an 8-inch chef's knife $8, regardless of how damaged, dirty, or neglected it is.
We charge for results and time. A heavily damaged blade requires significantly more work to restore properly. Our pricing reflects the actual quality of service you receive — not just a formula.
Why Professional Sharpening Is Worth Every Dollar
Dull Knives Are Dangerous
A dull knife requires more force to cut — and that extra force causes blades to slip and injure hands. A sharp knife is genuinely safer to use every day.
Save Money vs. Replacement
A quality chef's knife costs $80–$300+. Professional sharpening twice a year costs $30–$40. That's less than a single new knife — and your knives last decades.
Better Results in the Kitchen
Sharp knives cut cleaner, bruise herbs less, and make prep work faster and more enjoyable. Professional edges make a real, noticeable difference every day.
