It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Travis! The 5 knives I received back are razor sharp again. I can highly recommend Elite Edge Sharpening Service to anyone needing a new edge on their knives/tools.

He brought all his own equipment including a work table and did a magnificent job. Everything he sharpened is working beautifully.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome service from Elite Edge. I have a high end knife that needed sharpening, and after watching hours of youtube videos and trying myself couldn't get a sharp edge on the hard steel. Travis from Elite Edge sorted me out quiclky, and I got that really sharp edge I wanted on the knife. If you have quality blades that need sharpening, I highly recomend taking them through to Travis at Elite Edge.👍🏻👌🏻

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used Elite Edge to sharpen planer blades for me, as I don't live in Cape Town but in a small karoo town it's not so easy. Travis gave excellent service with continuous feedback and the blades were back in less than a week, very sharp and my planer is like a new machine. 5 out of 5 stars.

What is the best method to sharpen knives?
Wet system knife sharpening is ideal because it cools the blade, preventing overheating that could damage the steel’s temper. This method achieves precise, consistent edges, reduces burr formation, and minimises blade wear, making it the preferred choice for professional, long-lasting knife sharpening.
