At SQUARED AWAY SHARPENING, we take pride in delivering exceptional knife sharpening services that enhance the performance of your kitchen tools and outdoor equipment. Our portfolio showcases our commitment to quality craftsmanship through three key projects: a full custom job where we created a brand new edge and hand-crafted serrations tailored for the knife type; a kitchen block set of knives restored to optimal sharpness; and pizza cutters for a business client, revitalized for peak performance. We offer both standard and custom sharpening services that ensure every blade—whether a cherished item or a tool of the trade—receives the specialized care it deserves. Trust us to help you achieve the perfect edge and elevate your skills with our professional sharpening solutions.

This Cutco/KA-BAR knife came in brand new, straight from the factory. Upon inspection, we noticed that there were many manufacturing flaws. The edge was dull, uneven, and nowhere near sharp enough to shave with. The serration type was not suitable for the uses this kind of knife was designed for. Due to the change in steel type when Cutco took over manufacturing this knife, the tip design was no longer suitable either. That original design was made with a much higher quality steel in mind, it just would not hold up like the original KA-BAR knives used to. Proper serrations for this knife type were put on the knife by hand, the tip geometry was changed to one the steel type could actually handle, and a completely new edge was created for this knife that, even at the very wide and durable 25° angle, was not just shaving sharp but hair popping sharp.

Here is a kitchen set that came in. It had been used for many years and had dulled over time from use. All the serrations were sharpened by hand. As requested by the customer, we removed the terrible "never sharpen" edges and created razor-sharp edges in their place that were more than sharp enough to shave with. We gave these edges a nice shine and then finished them off with our unique finishing process. This process ensures a long-lasting edge retention. Once finished, each knife was inspected at a microscopic level at both 60x magnification and 90x magnification.

At SQUARED AWAY SHARPENING, we sharpen more than just knives. Here is a set of pizza cutters that came in from one of our business clients. When these came in, they were damaged, bent, and chipped from years of heavy use. They were very dull and would have a very hard time cutting the pizza properly. We removed and repaired all the damage and created brand new sharp edges that could easily and precisely cut the pizza and the bread at the client's pizza business.
