J. R. Stander Precision Knife Sharpening Service in Queen Creek, Arizona
I specialize in sharpening knives by hand using diamond and water stones. I use top-of-the-line precision sharpening equipment which allows me to match the existing bevel angles to which your knives have been sharpened, and then meticulously hand craft razor sharp edges while removing a fraction of the metal typically removed by motor driven abrasive belts or grinding wheels, thus extending the life of your knives. I also repair nicked and chipped edges as well as broken knife tips (most such repair is done at no additional charge).

Knife & Blade Sharpening
Never Dull Around Here! The precision sharpening equipment I use allows me to determine and “lock in” the present bevel angles to which your knives have been sharpened and then proceed to sharpen by progressing through stones of increasingly finer grit, to establish razor sharp edges. This photo shows me sharpening a Wusthof chef knife with diamond stores after the angles have been locked in.
Sharpening by hand extends the life of your favorite knives by removing only a fraction of the metal typically removed by sharpening using motorized sanding belts or grinding wheels.
I sharpen all brands and types of culinary knives, pocket knives, hunting knives. collector knives, tactical knives. straight razors, guillotine paper cutter / trmmer blades, chisels, plane blades and scissors.
Sharpening at Specific Angles
Many knife collectors will request that a knife be sharpened at a specific angle. With the aid of a digital angle gauge, the precision equipment I use allows me to find and “lock-in” the specific angle to which a particular knife blade will be sharpened. The owner of the Benchmade knife shown being sharpened in this photo requested that his knife be sharpened at an angle of 17 “degree per side”. This photo shows a digital angle gauge attached magnetically to a diamond stone as that specific sharpening angle is identified and “locked-in” for sharpening.
