Better than thecorner sharpener.
Canberra is our local market. Based just up the road in Gunning, we can offer same-day turnaround and local pickup for ACT customers. For Canberra cooks and chefs, the question isn't whether the knives need sharpening (every kitchen knife in regular use does, eventually). It's whether to drive across town to a local sharpener with a flat wheel, or post the knives in to a workshop that uses the right tools for each blade.
We sharpen on Japanese whetstones at the original edge angle of each knife. Western chef knives at 18-22 degrees per side. Japanese gyutos and santokus at 12-15 degrees per side. Single-bevel yanagiba and deba preserved as designed. No flat-wheel shortcuts, no overheating, no aggressive metal removal. Send the knives in Same day days, get them back inside a week.
Postage from Canberra. Being less than an hour away, Canberra customers can drop off and collect in person. Express Post arrives next day. We offer same-day sharpening for local customers by arrangement. For $>$100 orders we cover Express Post on the return leg. Most Canberra restaurant kitchens batch 8-12 knives at a time and never pay return postage.
Climate notes for Canberra kitchens. Canberra's dry continental climate with cold winters means low humidity year-round. Keep blades oiled but rust is rarely a concern. Cold winters can make blades feel sluggish until warmed up.
Every knife,every kitchen.
