An Edge In The Kitchen - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Casey Black

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew for my chef knives, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From our initial consultation, it was clear that Andrew is a true professional. He took the time to discuss my specific needs and the types of tasks my knives face in the kitchen.

For my line knife, which endures everything from cracking lobster tails to slicing ribeye rolls, Andrew crafted a sharp yet durable edge that has really improved its performance and longevity on the line. He has taken a line cooks beater knife and turned into a precision tool that is unmatched.

As for my Gyuto, Andrew gave it some special love and attention, resulting in an impossibly razor-sharp edge. This has made breaking down fish and a variety boneless meats easy and quick.

Whether you’re a culinary professional or a passionate home cook, Andrew’s expertise is invaluable. I’m thrilled with the results and can confidently say that his sharpening service is unmatched in quality and craftsmanship.

Andrew has been sharpening our knives for more than three years now! I trust him with all our knives, from the nicest ones to the old hand-me-downs. He’s always flexible with timing, easy to communicate with, and extremely knowledgeable. It’s always such a treat to get our knives back and I will only leave my knives with Andrew as long as he’s sharpening. As a side note, my parents bring their knives up from the Outer Banks for him to sharpen, too!

10/10 would recommend. Andrew is very knowledgeable, communicative, and easy to get in touch with. He has a true respect for the craft and his prices were very affordable for the service (including a very quick turnaround time)

Andrew did a super job sharpening my knives. They are sharper now than they were brand new. He did a great job and returned them fast. Highly recommend him ?

Andrew did a wonderful job with my knives and even helped with repair of the chips on some of the knives. They are even sharper than when I first got them. Andrew is skillful, professional and is very responsive.

I recently found out about Andrew's knife sharpening expertise, and turned to him to rescue some knives that had been damaged by someone who didn't know what they were doing. Andrew restored my knives beautifully, and did so with care and panache. (I love the way he wraps knives to present them back to the owner. He also sent me a video of how easily the knives now slice through paper, something they couldn't do after they were botched by the bad job.) He has the deep practical knowledge of knives that comes from being a chef, and the scholarly knowledge of knife-sharpening that comes from being a very intelligent, curious, and dedicated craftsman. Lastly, I asked for some extra instruction on knife care, and he provided me some excellent resources. Thank you, Andrew!

Andrew puts a scary sharp edge on any blade. Be real careful - trust me - there’s a box of band-aids in my kitchen!

Before returning my chef knives after sharpening, Andrew sent a short video of each knife sufficiently sharpened to slice paper. Their sharpness made my cooking life tremendously easy. A year and a half has rolled by, and it's time to return for this excellent service.
