A Simple Thing Done Well
MY CUSTOMERS CALL ME JUAN THE SHARPENER.
I DO A SIMPLE THING.
I SHARPEN KNIVES.
I DO IT WELL.
TWO THINGS SET ME APART
I don’t use machines. I use my hands to sharpen knives freehand on Japanese water stones both natural and synthetic. It’s the only way to treat a good knife.
And like the family doctor of long ago, I make house calls. I come to you, pick up your knives and take them back to my shop at home in Santa Maria. I return them to you either the same day or the next, sharper than new, guaranteed.
