Henckels Knife Sharpening Service

I see quite a few Henckels knives at my knife sharpening shop, and they are a real joy to work with. Henckels knives, from the Classic series on up to the Pro series are known for their sturdy contruction, balance and value.

Henckels knives not making the cut?

Despite their out of the box sharpness, Henckels, like all knives, eventually grow dull. When it's time to restore the edge on your Henckels knives, it is important to:

   - establish and refine new cutting bevels
   - preserve the blade temper during sharpening
   - polish the new cutting edge

The closeup above shows a typical Henckels knife as it enters my shop. My sharpening service includes a bevel regrind and polish. The cutting edge is restored to like new, if not better.

Preserve blade temper

In the manufacturing process, blades go though a series of heat treatment steps to obtain the desired characteristics. During the sharpening process, it is crucial that the blade is not allowed to overheat as this can detemper the steel. I personally use a wax treated sharpening wheel as this keeps the blade cool during sharpening and preserves the temper.

Polish that edge

Restoring the bevel is only part of the treatment Henckels knives get at my shop. To have the longest lasting edge possible, I polish with jeweler’s rouge. This removes the burr and any micro serrations left from the sharpening process.

So when it's time to restore your Henckels knives to their former glory, simply send them to my shop. They will be carefully sharpened, polished and sent back in just 48 hours!
