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.

Communication was excellent and very quick. I was greeted quickly and kindly when I arrived to get my knives sharpened.

My knives are cutting perfectly!Posted on Deepansh JainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really appreciate the service done by Danforth knife sharpening. He was very gentle and very quick i.e on the spot service. Recommended to anyonePosted on Matt WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ted was great. He was quick to respond to messages, accommodated my schedule for drop off and had six knives back to me within an hour. He even noticed one blade needed a tip repair and didn’t at no extra cost. The work was very good and the knives once again cut like they did the day I bought them. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Danforth Knife Sharpening.Posted on Jessica SeverinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time using this service, very impressed. Three knives sharpened while I waited (less than 15min), very quick turnaround, and I'm thrilled with the results. Very reasonable price, too.Posted on Alyssa KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a disappointing experience with a kiosk that didn’t sharpen my knives at all, I found Danforth Knife Sharpening and couldn’t be happier. Super professional, quick turnaround, and really easy drop-off and pick-up. My knives came back perfectly sharp. Highly recommend.Posted on Masha KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from Ted sharpening my kitchen knife last week. He responded promptly to my text booking an appointment, and then sharpened our knife in a few minutes while we waited. Now cuts even better than when it was new. Great workPosted on Jonathan PickupTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently found Danforth Knife Sharpening on Google because my utility knife was in dire need of a good, quality sharpening. DFS had many positive reviews, so I decided to reach out. The entire process from drop-off to pick-up was seamless, and to be honest - I think that DFS made my Benchmade knife sharper than it originally was from the factory. I am a happy customer indeed, and will be sure to return in the future with other knives!
