Expert sharpening for professionals & home cooks, and a carefully curated selection of new & vintage knives and related accessories

GREETINGS

Hi everyone! Welcome to our newly beautified website. All of our knives and stones that we have for sale are available to see here with prices on the Shop page. Feel free to call with questions about the different knives. All knives are available to try out on carrots here in the store. It’s a great way to see what knife fits best for you before you buy. We’ll be offering sharpening with stones classes in the coming weeks so stay tuned for more information on that....

MY NAME IS BOB TATE,

And I sharpen knives. I currently sharpen knives for a number of restaurants here in Seattle as well as for many home cooks throughout the Northwest and beyond who appreciate a sharp knife. The knives go through a 6-7 step process which leaves them razor sharp.

I learned my sharpening technique from master Bladesmith Bob Kramer www.kramerknives.com. Bob sharpened my knives for years when I cooked for a living and recognized my passion for the craft. He generously taught me the sharpening techniques that he has perfected over the last 20 years.
