For specific examples of knives we do not sharpen, please refer to the detailed list below.

Serrated blade

Honyaki
Special materials
eg. ZDP, ceramic, any material over 65HRC appoximately
Inwardly curved blades
eg. peeling knife

If you are unsure whether your knives qualify for our sharpening service, please send us a photo of the knives via WhatsApp for clarification.

Blades not exclusively for cooking

Cautions

Please note the following:
-Hand sharpening may result in some scratch marks on the blade. See photos of before and after below.
-Some kitchen knives have coatings on the surface and sharpening will scratch off the coatings.
-If you use a hard chopping board, we recommend Western finish for long-lasting sharpness as well as durability.
-Even with Western finish, avoid hitting the edge roughly on the chopping board to maintain sharpness. We do not refund for chipping.
-On the part of the blade sharpened, which refer to as mirror finish, you see fine lines of the mark. Therefore, if your knife is mirror finished by the manufacturer, the sharpened part does not look as the mirror part. See the photos of the sharpened knives below.
-Additional charges may apply for blades with significant chipping.
-If you send us knives that we do not sharpen, we will return them to your address.
-If you're unsure about anything, contact us via WhatsApp with a photo of the knife.
Complaints arising from ignoring the cautions will not be considered. See this page for general knife maintenance.

What's so special about our hand sharpening
and how we do it

At Tohg, we pride ourselves on providing a sharpening service that stands out from the rest. Unlike most, we hand sharpen kitchen knives, allowing for precise control and the creation of the coveted clamshell edge. This technique enhances both sharpness and durability, ideal for those seeking uncompromising precision.

Assessment:

We carefully evaluate the knife's condition.
Planning:
Determine the optimal sharpening and finishing method.
Whetstone Selection:
Choose from over 20 high-quality stones tailored to your knife's material and desired finish.
Sharpening Steps:
-Reform the blade for an ideal curve.
-Thin the edge using 200-400 grit whetstones.
-Smooth the surface to eliminate deep scratches with 1000-2000 grit stones.
-Perform middle sharpening with 3000-8000 grit stones to form the clamshell edge.
-Finalize the sharpening with natural whetstones or 8000-12000 grit stones.

2. Premium Materials:
We use only the finest Japanese whetstones, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.

3. Expert Craftsmanship:
Our skilled sharpener, trained by top expert at Ichimonji, bring years of experience to every knife, providing care and precision unmatched in the industry.

4. Superior Results:
Precision and Durability:

Our hand-sharpened knives offer unparalleled sharpness and longevity, maintaining a superior edge over machine-sharpened blades.
Attention to Detail:
The clamshell finish, a mark of true craftsmanship, cannot be achieved with machine sharpening, which often distorts the blade's edge.

5. Long-Term Value:
the sharpness of the kitchen knives we sharpen lasts extensively longer, making our service cost-efficient in the long term.

While our service is more time-consuming and costly, the investment is well worth it. Experience the unparalleled sharpness and durability of a knife sharpened by Tohg, and elevate your culinary skills to new heights.

Secondary Edge
Razor Edge
Clamshell Edge

The edge of the blade is thick, preventing itself from entering ingredients smoothly. Most kitchen have this edge in the beginning.

An extremely thin edge, making the blade very sharp but also quite brittle and prone to chipping.

The curved cutting edge maintains a thick blade while tapering to a thin, sharp endpoint. This design ensures both sharpness and excellent durability, providing a balance between cutting efficiency and longevity.

Japanese Honba- Clamshell edge finish

"Honba," meaning "true blade" in Japanese, refers to a thinner sharpening finish favored by professionals who demand uncompromising sharpness. As shown in the photos below, the honba finish enhances sharpness by thinning the blade.
However, even with clamshell finish this increased sharpness also makes the blade more brittle. Therefore we recommend the honba finish for those skilled in maintaining a sharp edge, such as using soft chopping boards and proper cutting techniques.
