SHARPENING FAQs

  • You can drop your knives off in store at any time.

    We sharpen them - they essentially join a queue - and email you when they are done. Turnaround for sharpening is typically a couple of days for sharpening, 10 days for repairs. We will give you a better idea when you drop them off. 

    Please bring your knives to us in a clean condition and well packaged. Make sure to clean the blade thoroughly and wrap them in a tea towel or similar. If your knives aren't wrapped, we can't take them.

  • Absolutely. We have a good range of it here.

  • Yes. Please take a look at our classes. If you would like a bespoke group class for a restaurant or team building type event, drop us a line as we have a fair bit of experience putting together a bespoke programme.

  • Yes, we can re-handle wa handled knives. Please bring in your knife so we can assess the condition and show you the handle options. We can't put a wa handle on a western handled knife. We do not re-handle western handled knives.

  • We do all types of knives from penknives to carving knives. We also turn our hands to scissors, secateurs and other blades. Anything unusual is quoted for individually so needs you to bring it to store. Items we have passed on include ice skates and lawnmower blades.

    Please note that while bread knives can be sharpened, in most cases it would be cost
    prohibitive for us to do this for you.

  • Sharpening is typically £12 per knife. Repairs are quoted for individually but start at £20. 

  • Yes, we can sort out chipped blades and provide a thinning service. This is not done on a while-you-wait basis and will cost from £20 upwards.


    We quote on an individual basis and seek confirmation from the customer
    before undertaking the repair. 

  • We take in any number of knives but, as you will be without them for a while, it might not be best to bring every knife at the same time.

    We don't sharpen any serrated knives.

    While can sharpen anything, the quality of the knife may mean that it simply isn't worth the spend. If this is the case, we will gently let you know - please don't be offended!

  • We email you when your knife is ready for collection. We are a small team and, as we operate a queue system, sometimes it can be quicker or slightly longer than we suggested. Please bear with us. If it has been a significantly longer time frame than we suggested, please email hello@kitchenprovisions.co.uk and we can help.
