Unlike most sharpening services, Sharp Matters is run by someone who doesn’t just sharpen knives — but makes them. That means we understand blades inside out: from steel composition to edge geometry, from balance to feel.

Because we know how knives are built, we can also do what many other sharpening services cannot: full restorations, complex repairs, tip rebuilds, re-profiling, and handle work. Your damaged knives aren’t lost causes — they just need the right hands.

Every knife is assessed with care, sharpened using professional belts and whetstones, and finished by hand to ensure it leaves our hands better than it arrived.

Andrè Mannini, known as the “Knife Maestro” is a London-based professional sharpener and founder of Sharp Matters. At DotFlorence, we are proud to have created his new website, showcasing his passion, expertise, and craftsmanship.
