The Sharpest Edge........

Welcome to The Diamond Edge Located in the heart of Chester County, Pennsylvania

We sharpen all Major Kitchen

Knife Brands

How do we sharpen them? Its a "hands only" process. We feature

the "Edge Pro" sharpening system. It has been referred to as the

"Cadillac" of sharpening systems. No grinders or powered

machines are used in the sharpening process. The Edge Pro

allows us to accurately maintain a bevel angle of 13 to 25 degrees

in 2 degree increments using wet stones ranging from 120 coarse

grit to a very fine 5000 grit Naniwa Chosera stone. Using this

method results in a minimum amount of metal removed, no burn

marks, no distortion, no weakening of the metal from excessive

heat........just a very sharp and polished blade edge. If the blade is in

bad need of repair, a wet wheel grinder may be used to reshape

the blade. ( Reshaping fee: $3.50 - $7.00 additional depending on

severity of repair)

We sharpen the knife at an angle according to the quality and hardness of the steel.

Many knife sharpeners sharpen the knife to the thinnest edge they can, resulting in a very sharp knife. However, if the quality of the steel can't maintain that edge, the sharpness will not last very long. The thin edge will flex and roll over. The Diamond Edge method promotes both longevity and sharpness of that edge, by giving it more metal, making it stronger and resistant to roll over.

Serrated Knives.............................

We now sharpen serrated knives, however there are a few limitations. Those knives with serrations with greater then 1/8 inch such as the bread knife shown above, we can sharpen. The steak knives you see included in a set with serrations so small that they were created by the manufacturer rolling a dye on the edge of the knife, we can't. If you have a favorite bread knife or any large serrated knife and it has lost its ability to cut, The Diamond Edge can bring it back to life.

Cleaning, Care and Storage of Knives

Cleaning knives can be done in a dishwasher but there is a danger that the edge can become damaged by the knife banging against other items in the basket. We recommend that, to preserve the knife's edge, you wash them by hand with warm water and detergent, rinse and dry by hand with a towel.

Storing your knives properly can also extend the edge's life. We recommend that they be stored in a knife block, or if stored loose in a drawer, the edge be covered with a blade guard. Finally, the use of a good ceramic "steel" is recommended, to straighten out the thin edge which even simple everyday use can distort. It will extend that sharpness of your knife. Use it often!

We have not yet found a knife that never needs sharpening. Keep your

knives sharp, a sharp knife is a safer knife.

Cooking a meal is easier with a sharp knife!

Please take note: We do not sharpen axes, machetes, swords, home made knives, any type of fantasy knife etc. etc. Our expertise is sharpening kitchen knives. We will do Hunting knives and pocket knives
