Our sharpening service
Japaneseknives.eu offers a sharpening service for your chef's knives.
We have 2 options for sharpening your knife:
- Traditional manual grinding on Japanese water stones
- Machine grinding (round grindstone)
Traditional manual grinding on Japanese water stones
We are one of the few people in the Netherlands who have mastered traditional manual Japanese sharpening on Japanese water stones. We sharpen the blades within 3-5 workdays.
We offer four different services for manual grinding. With Western-style knives we mean knives that are sharpened on both sides. These are, for example, the European knives from Zwilling, Wusthof, Henckels and Sabatier, but also Japanese knives from Global, Kai Shun, etc.
Single-sided sharpened knives are the traditional Japanese knives where one side of the blade is straight (with a slight cavity) such as a Usuba, Yanagiba or Deba.
Above this page you will find the various "grinding service products" that you can then place in the shopping basket.
You can then send the knives or bring them to the address of the sharpening service (Hogebrinkerweg 15c, 3871KM Hoevelaken) with a note with the order number or the printed order confirmation.
Machine grinding.
We perform mechanical and regular (not on a Japanese whetstone) grinding work on a round water-cooled stone. The price comes with standard 3 euro shipping costs (regardless of the number of knives) because we have to send the knives to the sharpener. You can also send the knives directly to our sharpener after you have completed the sharpening order via our webshop. You can send us an e-mail for this or you can immediately print this form, complete it and send it to our sharpener with your products to be sharpened.
You can contact us for specific grinding orders.
The delivery time is usually between 3-10 days.
