Serving Danforth, East York, Toronto, and the GTA, Danforth Knife Sharpening provides professional, precision sharpening for home cooks, restaurants, and anyone who wants their knives to perform at their absolute best.
Every knife is sharpened by hand, by a trained professional with thousands of hours of experience and tens of thousands of satisfied customers. Our process combines the control of traditional hand sharpening with the consistency of professional, low-speed equipment and custom abrasives, ensuring a cool, safe, and perfectly honed edge every time.
A truly sharp knife transforms your entire cooking experience:
Safer: A sharp blade won’t slip or fight the cut.
Faster: Food prep becomes smooth and effortless.
Cleaner cuts: Better texture, better presentation, less bruising.
Longer tool life: Proper sharpening removes minimal steel and extends the life of your knives.
More enjoyable cooking: A sharp knife turns frustration into satisfaction.
Once you try a properly sharpened edge, you’ll never want to cook with a dull knife again.
Whether it’s a $10 department-store knife or a $10,000 hand-forged Japanese blade, your knives are sharpened to their optimal geometry with care, consistency, and skill. We work with chef’s knives, Japanese blades, serrated knives, pocket knives, and more—each evaluated individually for the best possible results.
Sharpening is by appointment at our professional home workshop on the Danforth.
Most orders are while-you-wait or same-day.
