About

Every blade sharpened to brand-new quality.

I'm Leif, founder of Sharpn. I've sharpened 2,300+ knives and tools in Austin since 2021. My grandfather was a blacksmith in Montana, so sharpening is in my blood: every knife gets my full focus, intention and care, so your cooking is the best it can be.

Central Austin, since 2021

Where

The method

By hand, on stones.

The slow way, because it is the one that keeps a knife going for years.

  • Diamond and ceramic stones

    Every edge is set by hand, never on a grinding wheel.

  • The angle it was built for

    Japanese and Western blades each get the angle their maker intended.

  • Low heat, little steel

    Heat stays low and steel removal stays minimal, so the edge lasts and so does the knife.

“My knives are gorgeous once again! I have never experienced such masterful knife sharpening skills. Leif is a top notch professional – picks up and delivers, on time every time. He's made cooking fun again for me! I highly recommend this service for anyone who spends time in the kitchen. You'll be happy.”
