About OC Knife Sharpening

I have worked for over 15 years as a chef in some of Los Angeles’ and Las Vegas’ finest kitchens.  I took great interest in the art of sharpening. I attended seminars and even went to Japan to learn their sharpening techniques. Today, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality knife sharpening services to hotels, restaurants, country clubs as well as other food service institutions in Orange County and surrounding areas.

Why having a sharp knife is absolutely essential?

Sashimi says it all: Sashimi deftly sliced with a razor sharp knife vs. sashimi cut with a dull knife are as different as ice cream freshly scooped and ice cream melting in a bowl. Having a sharp knife allows you to hone your knife skills, allowing for more precise and fine work. It is also HUGELY important in terms of safety (case in point: slicing though tomato skin with ease rather than having your knife push against the tension and jump onto your innocent thumb). And having a sharp knife can actually even extend to ergonomic health, avoiding exacerbating symptoms of carpal tunnel, tendonitis and so forth.
