I’m Kyle, founder of Iron & Edge Sharpening Co.

I started my knife sharpening journey in 2011 when I was hired to work in customer service at a company that makes the best knife sharpening equipment in the world - Wicked Edge Precision Knife Sharpeners. Over my 10-year career at Wicked Edge, I sharpened tens of thousands of knives and traveled the world helping chefs, professional sharpening services, and knife enthusiasts learn how to sharpen and care for their knives.

I left Wicked Edge in 2021 to move to NYC, and then I published Start a Knife Sharpening Service, a book to help others learn how to do this.

I started my first sharpening service in Santa Fe, NM in 2017 and then I started another one in NYC in 2021. Now I live in Austin, where I’m proud to sharpen knives for this community.

I don’t believe in using electric sharpening systems - the opportunity for error is too high and it’s hard to feel how the steel is reacting to the sharpening process. All knives sharpened by Iron & Edge Sharpening Co. will be sharpened 100% using manual, precision sharpening equipment and a combination of diamond and ceramic abrasives.
