Sharpening
Establishing and maintaining an edge, with geometry and finishing suited to the blade and the work it will do.
Shinken services · Jairo Shnaider
Japanese knife sharpening.
Care guided by each blade's steel, geometry and intended use. Sharpening, thinning, restoration and polishing for people who value their cutting tools.
Assessment via WhatsAppThe work begins with an assessment.
A knife that no longer cuts as it did may need edge maintenance or work on its geometry. Wear and damage call for a different assessment. The service is defined by the blade's condition and the result you are looking for.
At Shinken, the conversation starts with the tool: how you use it, what you notice when cutting and what work has been done on it before. Examining the blade determines the scope, respecting its construction and the limits of its material.
Jairo Shnaider brings 32 years of sharpening experience, with work spanning Brazil and Israel. The services are relevant to chefs, professional kitchens, collectors and people who maintain their own knives. Straight razors receive a separate assessment.
Thinning and restoration

Attention to surfaces, bevels and finish, respecting the construction and character of each blade.
