Add this service to your knife order if you would like us to apply a final sharpening before it ships. We put a fresh, razor-sharp edge on the knife and take the opportunity to inspect it carefully before it leaves our shop.
This service is per knife and must be purchased with a knife.
What We Do: We refine the factory edge using our sharpening stones and strops to improve sharpness and cutting performance. We also check the knife for fit, finish, and any issues so you receive it in top condition.
When to Use This: Choose this if you want maximum out-of-the-box sharpness or just prefer that we give the knife a final touch before shipping.
Turnaround Time: No delay—this is done during order processing.
Important: This service is only available with a knife purchase and cannot be ordered by itself.

Generally good but could have easily been perfectPosted By: Eric Christianson

I recently had two new knives done by CKTG. The first, an Aogami Super steel Kiritsuki was well sharpened the entire length of the cutting edge. The second a Hap40 Bunka was very sharp except for 1-2 cm at the heel, the edge of which reflected light and was clearly missed in the finish sharpening process. Both knives included the sharpener’s name and a list of the stones used. I have not contacted CKTG about touching up the Bunka and will try to finish it with my own stones.

Cleanest and sharpest edge I've seen. I bought 2 knives to keep one as the reference. It'll split tomatoes in your hand without dropping the top half. If only I could post a video...crazy sharp. Well worth the cost.

I had this performed on a VG10 Tojiro and feel like a fool for not having it done one the last two knives I ordered. Giving it the ol fingernail test made my stomach turn and it's easily shaved the hair off my calf. I'm pretty capable of freehand sharpening but this is unreal. A week and a half into hurricane Laura and I used the same knife to have a clean shaven face.
I cannot recommend this option enough

Mark put a beautiful wicked edge (12 degrees!) on my CCK thin cleaver and I'm thrilled with it. I've been keeping it up with a ceramic rod and a leather strop (the extent of my sharpening abilities), and it's been holding up well, continuing to be a giant straight razor that effortlessly slices through veggies, proteins and well, anything, even bread. Getting this done on all new knife purchases (save maybe Takeda-son) is a no-brainer. Mark's service and services are top-notch.

Knife came polished and stropped. It had consistently sharp edge over all length of it. Also, I liked that there was a paper which told me which angle was used to sharpen as it helped me with my own sharpening as a guide.

I am a person that likes to sharpen my own knives. After reading the reviews I decided to pay the extra for this service. I am not sure what the factory edge would have been like without this service but it was probably worth it. However, I ended up sharpening it myself to get the blade a little sharper and polished it to a mirror finish.

To be fair - I can't tell if it's the knife or the service. The small piece of paper says it was sharpened to 12 degrees. I guess was hoping for closer to 9-10 degrees. Many reviews of the knife itself (Daovua Bunka) says that people had very sharp edges sharpening it themselves. I got this service because I am inexperienced in sharpening knives and wanted to really see it's best performance. It goes through tomatoes OK but my ceramic Kyocera (over a year old) does a better job still. I was hoping for more but I can't say if this is more of a reflection of the knife or the service.

If you want to use your knife right away, you must get the sharpening service. The knife came extremely sharp and ready to use immediately. There was no delay of using the knife, and I didn't have to scramble to find someone to sharpen it for me, or figure it out myself. Let the pros handle this for every knife you purchase!

Perfect as a reference for your knife sharpening. However my knife arrived with some rust on, that I guess is a result of the knife not having been dried completely after sharpening. Easy to remove though.
