Twenty years of stone and water.
Geoff opened the shop in 2004 with a wheel, a stone, and a belief that a hand-sharpened edge has nothing in common with what a machine produces.
A pull-through sharpener removes steel. A hand-sharpened edge restores geometry. Those are two completely different verbs, and they leave you with two completely different knives.
Over the last two decades, we've sharpened for everyone from chefs at the city's finest restaurants to the woman who brought in her grandmother's chef knife from 1948. The discipline is the same regardless: read the steel, respect the angle, finish the burr cleanly.
We work on Japanese carbon steel that costs more than most rifles. We work on $20 paring knives that someone's mother gave them. Both deserve the same five minutes at the wheel.

Master at the wheel
Come by the shop.
We're at the wheel Monday through Friday. If you've never had a properly sharpened knife, the difference will surprise you.
