Rates & Info

Bernal Cutlery specializes in wet grinding and Japanese whetstone sharpening using techniques that provide edges specifically suited for the knife or tool, factoring in its steel type. We can adjust edge geometry and blade thinness if necessary to provide improved geometry for increased performance.

Turn around time varies for our sharpening service depending on how much work we have in. We tend to stay very busy even with several full time sharpeners working, but we are happy to offer loaner knives when available.

You will be contacted via text when your order is complete and ready for pickup. We are not responsible for sharpening orders left over 90 days.

 OUR CURRENT TURN AROUND TIME IS APPROX 3 WEEKS FOR STANDARD SERVICE
