Where to sharpen Japanese knives in Vancouver

Where to sharpen Japanese knives in Vancouver

Where can I take my Japanese knife to get sharpened in Vancouver? I've heard that Japanese knives have a smaller angled edge and I want to make sure they keep that same edge so it's nice and sharp like it was when I bought it.

Re: Where to Sharpen Japanese Knives in Vancouver

I have the name (Jack Katano) and number of a someone that has sharpened some of my knifes (and fellow chefs) in the past.

Maybe send me a message using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the site and I will send his name along...just don't want to give his number out.

I am not sure if he will be able to help (I am also not sure how much English he speaks)...but he is the only person I know that could possibly help you.

Other than that, you could sharpen them yourself (which I highly recommend)- the video on knife sharpening will guide you through it, you will just need to use a slightly different angle...which we mention in the video.

Hope this helps!
