For kitchen knives, the processing time is usually a maximum of 7 to 8 business days. The exact turnaround time depends on the condition of the blade and our current workload.
Knife Sharpening in Hamburg
A dull knife doesn't have to stay that way. Bring your kitchen knife, pocket knife or Japanese knife to our workshop in Hamburg-Altona and we'll sharpen it professionally — no appointment, no waiting around.
Every blade is different. We look at the steel, the grind and how the knife is used before we start. That way the original geometry is preserved and the knife cuts the way it's supposed to.
What does sharpening cost?
The price depends on blade length and condition. As a rough guide:
Kitchen knives
approx. €8 – €24
Pocket knives
on request
Turnaround time
max. 7–8 working days
Just drop your knife off — no appointment needed.

How sharpening works
1
Assessment
We look at the condition, grind and steel. Not every knife needs the same treatment.
2
Grind & angle
We decide which angle and technique fits. Goal: minimum material removal, maximum sharpness.
3
Sharpening — by hand
We sharpen exclusively by hand. No machine, no automatic sharpener. This protects the blade and preserves the original geometry.
4
Final check
A knife only leaves the workshop when the grind and cutting performance are right.
We also repair handles
Alongside sharpening, we repair knife handles too. Whether it's a cracked wood handle, broken handle material or a loose handle that has come away from the tang, just bring the knife along.
