How much it costs


Note that the prices below are only estimates. The final price might be $5 more or less, depending on the amount of time I spent on the entire batch.

Small (below 10cm) $6
Medium (10-16cm) $8
Large (17-20cm) $10
Huge (above 20cm) $12
Small scissors and shears $12-20
Straight razors + $2

Repair cost

Type Price
Really dull blades + $2
Minor chips + $5
Major chips + $10
Re-tipping + $5-10
*Re-heeling + $10-15

*Re-heeling only available for knives without full bolsters.

Prices include general maintenance such as re-oiling of wooden handles. For carbon steel blades, rust removal and blade re-oiling is included as well. Patinas will be left untouched unless requested to be removed.


A note on repairs:

Repairs are optional. Please tell me especially if you have any small microchips that you want fixed, otherwise I'm going to leave them untouched.

If the chips are quite small, they don't affect cutting performance much. In this case, I would actually recommend that you don't repair, as it prolongs the lifespan of your knife (less steel removed). The small chips will gradually be removed after 3-5 times of normal sharpening.

To get an idea of what I consider as minor or major chips, please have a look at the gallery.
