Sharpening restores the edge. Honing deeply corrects the blade's geometry — for a clean cut, with no forcing, on Japanese, European and German knives.
The Difference
Restores a dull edge, quickly and at a modest cost. To be repeated roughly every 6 months under home use.
Corrects the geometry of the blade itself: with repeated sharpenings, the thickness just behind the edge increases and cutting performance declines. Honing removes that thickness in depth to restore a clean cut, with no forcing.
| Blade honing | 25 € – 35 € |
Depending on blade type and condition — confirmed after inspecting the knife.

The Technique
Honing removes thickness from the blade just behind the edge, restoring a clean cut without forcing.
Why Hone
Honing changes the blade's geometry by reducing its thickness just behind the edge, to improve the cut in depth without requiring excessive force. It is longer, more meticulous work than a simple sharpening, reserved for knives that deserve it.
