Knife Sharpening Services
Honing a Family Tradition
Knife sharpening has been part of the Ambrosi family's story for more than a century. Dating back five generations to the family's roots on New York City's Lower East Side in the early 1900s, this time-honored craft has been passed down through the generations with the same dedication to precision, quality, and craftsmanship that defines Ambrosi & Sons today.
From cherished family heirlooms to the hardworking knives used in professional kitchens, our expert sharpening service restores the precision, performance, and longevity of every blade. Drop off your knives with our team, and we will contact you as soon as your blades are fully restored and ready for pick up.

Do you sharpen serrated knives?
Yes! Because we use commercial equipment we are also able to sharpen serrated knives.
Can you fix damaged knives (chips, rust, pits, etc.)?
Yes! Any damage, including broken tips, chips, rust, and pits, can be fixed. We can even rework the whole shape of the blade.
What payments do you accept?
We accept cash as well as debit or credit (Visa, Discover, Mastercard).
Can I trust you with my expensive knives?
Absolutely. Our family has 5 generations of expertise in this trade. We will also give you a detailed explanation of the work we will be performing prior to sharpening, so you know exactly what to expect.
What makes Ambrosi & Son's work different from the competition?
We use special commercial machinery designed for knife sharpening and used by knife makers. We do not use simple electric sharpening machines. Electric sharpening devices are not able to create a consistent edge on the blade or provide a sharp enough edge to meet our standards. Nor do they have the ability to fix any type of damage sustained to your kitchen blades. Instead of misleading customers into buying brand new knives, we encourage people to bring in their old knives to be brought back to life. You will be amazed at what we can do for you.
