Why and where you could get your knives hand sharpened, on the west side.
Me doing the final sharpening of a slicing knife
Here is why you should have your knives hand sharpened on whetstones.
- It doesn’t soften the steel and ruin the knives, as machine sharpening does, therefor they will stay sharper much longer.
- A second benefit is that it doesn’t grid away excessive material, this gives your knife a much longer life.
- Also, the extreme edge finish that could be achieved, means that it will stay sharper much longer.
- It’s more environmentally friendly, your knives will last much longer, no electricity will be used, and no weird chemical compounds from sharpening abrasives and steels will be released. Have you ever wondered why your knife sharpener is, using a mask while sharpening?

Where you could get your knives hand sharpened
I offer free pickup and delivery in Santa Monica, except during the busy season. That is November and December, you would have to drop them off and pick them up. Always call or text before coming by, to confirm that I have time, and working. If I get them early in the day, I will try to have them sharpened within a couple of hours. The address is 1423 Euclid Street, Santa Monica 90404, call or text when you get there, and I will come out and get them, no need to park,
