Knife sharpening

Salt Lake City, UT

Professional Knife Sharpening

We offer professional knife sharpening on-site. Schedule a date to drop off your knives and we will contact you to pick them up when they’re finished. Knives are usually sharpened by the next business day.

 *Please note: The cost for professionally sharpening knives is $3.25/inch. Not all knives can be sharpened.

Basic Knife Skills Class

Sharpen your knife skills too! If you haven’t taken a basic knife skills class, we highly recommend it!  You’ll learn how to care for knives, choose the proper knife for the job, keep your knives sharp, properly wash them, and more! Plus, you can bring one knife to class and we will sharpen it for you (for free!)

We are doing everything we can to keep our guests and SLICE team safe, and are asking for your help with these additional precautions:

  • Upon arrival, you will sign in and have your temperature taken at the front desk. Any guests with a temperature over 100 degrees will be asked to go home.
  • You will be required to wear a face mask and gloves during the prep and cooking segments of class. You will be allowed to remove your face mask once you are seated at a dining table.
  • Please wash your hands upon arrival and after touching your phone, your face, door handles, and other surfaces outside of the kitchen.
