Sharpening Levels

LEVEL I - Approximately 3000x equivalent. Good for most kitchen tasks. The LEVEL I edge is not a mirror polish, it is a stout working edge.

*Note - The LEVEL I edge may be applied in whole (or in part) by belt sander/polishing wheels on certain knives whose edge geometry requires a specific shape outside of what can be applied through hand sharpening. It is to our discretion to apply the appropriate edge to the knife. Powered sharpening, if required, will not effect the results, the knife will be very sharp regardless.

LEVEL II - Hand sharpened edge to the max! 30,000x + edge!! This is the ultimate edge that we can provide for your knife. It is more expensive because it is more labor intensive and because it provides better results. This edge can be put on most knives but it is the only edge that we will provide on single bevel knives like the yanagiba.
