WE PROVIDE TWO TYPES OF KNIFE SHARPENING AT OUR LOCATIONS.
Old-fashioned hand sharpening by Mark, who’s been sharpening knives in the Bay Area for more than 30 years and for us for over 20. He accepts knives at our Palo Alto and San Mateo locations – contact the store closest to you for current pricing and pick-up and drop-off times.
We also have the state-of-the-art Resharp knife sharpening machine in all of our stores. Resharp is a local Palo Alto startup that partnered with industry leaders and Stanford engineers to create the first-ever on-demand professional knife sharpening machine.
LEARN ABOUT OUR TEAM
Santa Cruz Hardware has Resharp-trained associates at each of our locations and they will quickly sharpen your knives in 90 seconds or less for just $6.99 per knife.
As Resharp says, “We didn’t invent knife sharpening, we reinvented it. Resharp gets your knives factory sharp – without the factory.” The Resharp machine restores knives to a factory edge while removing a minimal amount of material with a patented grinding system.
