Knife Sharpening Service in Sydney
Bring Out the Best in Your Knives
Knives are the backbone in any kitchen. They must perform well and assist chefs and cooks in food preparation safely and efficiently.
Like the specialist who supports an athlete's performance in the background, we're here to support you as a chef or cook at home and in restaurants.
Holistic Approach
A sharp knife does not necessarily mean it can cut well. At Hazuki, we know that the overall knife performance depends on the combination of sharpness, straightness, thinness, edge geometry, profile, face smoothness, types of steel, and more.
We don't just sharpen the edge. We take a holistic approach to improve your knife performance.
Our Sharpening Method
We sharpen kitchen knives mainly by freehand with Japanese natural and synthetic whetstones (aka waterstone).
We believe this is the best way for a lot of our customers because:
1. it gives a very fine cutting edge.
2. sharp edge retains longer than by any other methods. We choose appropriate types of whetstones and abrasives for individual knives.
3. it does not risk adversely changing the original hardness from overheating the very delicate and fine cutting edge.
4. it removes a minimal amount of steel, so that the knife life is longer.
At the end of sharpening, we always conduct our knife performance test. In our test, we test cut paper as well as food when possible and assess overall knife performance.
