Book Service

Built for working kitchens and serious tools.

Services

Every edge is approached through geometry, steel preservation, and real-world kitchen performance. Working prep knives can stay lean and practical. Premium knives, sentimental tools, and showpiece blades can receive more refinement, correction, and finish care.

Knife Sharpening
Standard fine-edge sharpening is priced by blade length: $9 minimum for knives 6 inches or smaller, then $1.50 per inch. Serrated knives start at $12 and are $2 per inch.
From $9
Repair & Restoration
Chip repair, tip repair, thinning, reprofiling, rust cleanup, and corrective work for knives that need more than a quick pass on a belt.
Repairs from $6

Minor repairs are $6, major repairs are $10, and heavy or specialty repairs start at $20+. Thinning starts at $16 per side and scales with material removed, labor, abrasives, and time.

Restaurant & Hotel Programs
Scheduled edge-care programs for kitchens that need consistency, accountability, and tools ready for service. One-time resets and recurring accounts are priced by volume, timing, and scope.
From $150 reset
White Glove Knife Care
A premium care path for knives that deserve more than a working edge: pickup-ready packaging, handle care, aesthetic refresh, careful edge refinement, polishing, and protective coating where appropriate.
From $30/knife

Service, without the guesswork

Choose your service path.

The short version: sharpening is priced by the work; travel is priced as travel.

CommercialMiami-Dade & Broward

Scheduled service across the full service area.

Commercial service is scheduled around your location, operating hours, and MKG's existing route. Service is by confirmed appointment rather than on-call.

Sharp After DarkAfter your last ticket pickupBefore prep the next day return

Available for confirmed accounts within agreed service areas and schedules.

ResidentialShop service

Drop off—or arrange pickup and return.

Residential knives are sharpened off-site at the MKG shop. Drop-off keeps the price lean; pickup and return can be arranged when you want the service brought to you.

Rush service is available when the schedule permits, with pricing based on current workload and requested turnaround.

Pickup + returnTravel is separate
$1per total driven mileAny knife count

Pickup and return are priced separately from sharpening at $1 per total driven mile for any knife count. Sean confirms the route mileage and travel charge before scheduling.

The exact travel fee and timing are confirmed before scheduling.

More than kitchen knives

The right edge for the tool.

Shears, workshop tools, specialty blades, and custom work each need their own approach. Choose a service to start a request with that option already selected. Sean reviews the tool, condition, intended use, and whether the right path is a working edge, premium finish, repair, or restoration.
