Bread Knife Sharpening in Portland
Portland loves good bread, and a dull bread knife ruins a good loaf. Instead of slicing, it squishes the bread flat and tears the crust. Bread knife sharpening in Portland fixes that. We sharpen the serrations on your bread knife by hand, so you get clean, even slices through crusty sourdough and soft sandwich loaves alike.
Clean Slices Through Any Loaf
A bread knife works by its teeth, not a smooth edge. Over time those teeth wear down, and the knife starts to crush instead of cut. We sharpen each serration by hand and bring back the bite, so the knife glides through a crusty artisan loaf without flattening it. With all the bakeries and home bakers around town, we see a lot of well-loved bread knives, and we get them slicing like new. If your steak knives are serrated too, our steak knife sharpening covers those.
What Bread Knife Sharpening Costs
Bread knife sharpening starts at $8 and depends on the size of the blade. That covers sharpening each serration by hand and a test slice before it leaves the shop. Bring in the knife you reach for every morning and get it back cutting clean.
