History
Established in 2020.
Chef KnifeWorks became a "thing" around September of 2020. I had been sharpening my own knives and for those that worked for me in commercial kitchens. I wanted to find a way to sharpen other knives for Professional Chef and Serious Home Cooks and Gourmets.
Fast-Forward five years later and I'm still going strong; Honed my skills; keep improving; and keeping my Knife Community Sharp!

Sharp knives made my professional kitchens safer, faster, and more efficient. After three decades of cooking, I know a great edge changes everything - from precision cuts to confidence behind the blade.
Coming out of the pandemic, I wanted to give back to my community while sharing this expertise. Chef KnifeWorks was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves restaurant-quality sharp knives.
Whether you're prepping dinner at home or running a busy kitchen, I bring the same standards to your knives that I demanded in my own professional kitchens.
