Knife Sharpening NYC – Sharp Knives for Your Kitchen
At S. Feldman Housewares, we offer knife sharpening NYC customers can rely on, bringing kitchen knives back to a clean, confident edge so you can chop, slice, and carve with ease again.
If you are building a new kitchen knife set or upgrading a few favorites, you can also explore our curated knives collection while your blades are sharpened.
Knife Sharpening You Can Count on
S. Feldman Housewares has been a family-run shop on Madison Avenue since 1929, serving New Yorkers who care about good tools and good service. If you’re looking for knife sharpening in NYC that customers trust, it is part of that tradition.
We offer a flat rate of $4.95 per knife, regardless of size, using a commercial-grade electric sharpener for consistent, reliable results. Our in-house technician delivers knife sharpening with a typical turnaround of the same or next business day, depending on workload.
Between drop-off and collection, you can browse our knife collection, look at cutting boards that are kinder to your freshly sharpened blades, or explore a wider range of kitchen essentials in store.
Why Choose Our Knife Sharpening Service In New York?
Finding knife-sharpening options often means choosing between sending knives away, waiting for a traveling service, or trusting a shop you do not know. At S. Feldman Housewares, you’re working with a neighbourhood team that has been part of the Upper East Side for generations, making knife sharpening simple, local, and dependable.
Here’s what sets our service apart:
Flat, simple pricing
One clear price per knife, regardless of size, keeps things straightforward. You know what to expect when you bring in a bundle from your knife block.
On-site technician you can talk to
We sharpen knives in-house rather than sending them to a third party. If you’ve got questions about a particular blade, you can ask directly in the store.
Consistent, sharp edge
We use a commercial-grade electric sharpening system, which gives repeatable, controlled results rather than a quick, inconsistent pass on a basic pull-through tool.
Part of a wider kitchen and home offer
Once your knives are sharpened, it makes sense to protect them. You can choose a board from our cutting boards collection or look at dedicated knives and cutlery for gifts and upgrades.
Heritage you can trust
We’ve been here since 1929, and many customers have relied on us for decades for everyday essentials, small repairs, and careful service.
Knife Types We Sharpen
We sharpen a wide range of kitchen and everyday knives brought in by home cooks, keen food lovers, and busy households.
Kitchen Knives: Western and Japanese
From classic Western chef and paring knives to Japanese blades, we focus on restoring a clean, functional edge for everyday cooking. Many of the knives our customers carry are similar to pieces in our knife collection, including well-known brands such as Wüsthof and Global.
Utility and Pocket Knives
For many households, a small utility knife or pocket knife sees just as much action as the chef knife. Where suitable, we can sharpen these for neater slicing, safer cutting, and general use in the kitchen or around the home.
Cleavers, Boning, and Fillet Knives
Meat prep needs a dependable edge. We sharpen many cleavers, boning knives, and fillet knives used for breaking down poultry, trimming meat, and handling fish. A sharp blade makes these tasks more controlled and less tiring on your hands.
Serrated Knife Sharpening
We don't sharpen serrated blades. Serrated knives need a different approach, and we don’t offer serrated sharpening at this time.
Heirloom or Custom Blades
If you’ve got a favourite or heirloom knife, feel free to bring it in for assessment. We can talk through its condition, what sharpening is realistic, and how to balance preserving character with improving performance. For high-value pieces, we’re honest if a specialist service would be more appropriate.
Our Knife Sharpening Process In New York
Whether you’re bringing in two knives or ten, the steps stay simple and easy to follow.
Blade Assessment
We start by inspecting each knife for condition, checking the edge, any chips or flat spots, the blade's overall shape, and the handle. If there’s obvious damage or bending, we explain what’s realistic before going further.
Precision Sharpening
We sharpen each knife on a commercial-grade electric sharpener that gives a controlled, consistent edge. This approach removes the guesswork of quick pull-through tools and helps restore an edge that bites cleanly into ingredients rather than sliding over them.
Honing And Finishing
After sharpening, we refine the edge so that it feels smooth and ready for kitchen work, not rough or catching. The aim is a knife that cuts confidently but still feels predictable and stable in day-to-day use.
Final Inspection
We check each knife one last time to ensure the edges look and feel right. We also make sure each knife is clean and safe to transport home.
