How it Works

How Our Knife Sharpening by Post Service Works

Sending your knives to Blade & Butler for professional sharpening is simple, secure and available throughout the UK. 

Place your order online, safely package your knives following our instructions and send them to our workshop using your chosen courier option. 


Each knife is individually assessed before sharpening, with damaged tips, chips and edge profiles repaired where required. We then professionally sharpen and finish the edge before carrying out our quality-control sharpness test. 


Your completed knives are securely packaged and returned directly to your door. Our postal knife sharpening service means professional sharpening is available wherever you live in the UK.

First choose the package that best suits your needs from our shop page. 

 We have 3, 4, 5, 7,10 and 15 knife packages available as well as gift cards.

You can also purchase diamond sharpening steels to keep your knives sharp between sharpening and a chef knife to use whilst your knives are away.

 
We'll send you a Blade & Butler knife box with protective sleeves included as well as a return label. Initial empty boxes always ship with Evri.

When your box arrives,insert your blunt knives into the sleeves, seal up the box and return them to us by dropping them off at your local DPD or EVRI courier parcel shop.


When we receive your knives we'll endeavour to sharpen them within one working day and ship them back to you the following day direct by courier to your door.


We sharpen to our own procedures and specifications laid out in the link below.

 Please take the time to read how and why we approach each repair and sharpen and the options available to you.

Our Professional Knife Sharpening Process: From Blade Inspection to the Perfect Edge

Every knife receives bespoke sharpening tailored to its steel, condition, design and original finish, removing minimal material within a 2mm tolerance ( where no repairs are needed ).

Edges are polished and buffed using cloth wheels and paste and finished on a variety of ceramic or diamond honing rods.

Every knife must pass our filmed tomato sharpness test before dispatch, with footage retained for up to six weeks.

All orders are photographed, recorded and backed by our 360° Care Plan and T&Cs.

Customers have 24 hours after delivery to test their knives and confirm our sharpness guarantee.

Bespoke sharpening requests can be accommodated if comments are left at checkout.
