--Get Your Knives Christmas-Ready!

Sharp Knives, Better Christmas Cooking!--


Christmas is one of the busiest times in the kitchen, so why not get your knives professionally sharpened in time for the festive season?

If you would like your knives sharpened before Christmas, please take note of the following important dates:


  • Last drop-off date: 4th December
  • Last collection date before Christmas: 23rd December


Please note:

  • Knives dropped off after 4th December will not be ready for collection until 2027.
  • The estimated turnaround time of approximately two weeks applies to orders of up to three knives.
  • Larger quantities may require additional processing time.


We recommend dropping off your knives by 4th December to ensure they are ready in time for Christmas.
