Knife Sharpening at TOMME
A few times a year, we welcome an expert sharpener and his mobile workshop to TOMME. Sharpening is available on scheduled event dates, so bring us your dull kitchen knives before the next one and we'll let you know when they're ready to collect.
How It Works
Drop off your knives at TOMME during the week leading up to the event. For safety, please wrap each knife in a kitchen towel or place it in a sheath.
We'll email you when your knives are ready. You pay at pickup.
Next Sharpening Day
- Drop off: By 6 PM on Thursday, October 1
- Pick up: Friday afternoon, October 2
- Capacity: 30 customers maximum
Bring 3 Knives, Get $5 Toward Cheese
Bring 3 or more knives for sharpening and get $5 toward any cheese in the shop. Put it to use on a Thanksgiving board at drop-off, or save it for pickup.
One credit per customer. Cheese only. Valid in store through October 2.
Never Miss a Sharpening Day
Join our email list and we'll let you know when the next sharpening day is booked. You'll also get special offers and early access to new products.
Pricing
- Straight blades: $1.75 per inch of blade
- Serrated blades: Usually twice the straight-blade rate because they take more work
A standard 8-inch chef's knife costs about $14 to sharpen.
What We Sharpen
We can sharpen kitchen knives, serrated knives, scissors, and most other edged kitchen tools. Unsure about an item? Bring it in and we'll ask our sharpening partner.
We can also arrange repairs for chipped or damaged blades. We'll quote a price before any repair work begins.
Why Sharp Matters
A dull knife takes more pressure to use, which can make a slip harder to control. A sharp knife cuts cleanly, goes where you aim it, and makes cooking more enjoyable.
