Knife Sharpening Service
Looking for a knife sharpening service you can trust?
At Moleta, we believe knife sharpening is an art form and we've spent over a decade perfecting state of the art techniques so you can have peace of mind when it comes to having your knives sharpened. Our artisans are capable of achieving knife sharpening results that most people didn't know were possible. Our goal is to keep people out of hospital and blades out of the landfill with techniques that can make any knife feel better than new.
So is professional knife sharpening worth it? Even if you use a whetstone at home, fixing a broken tip, big chip, or reshaping a bolster can be incredibly time consuming, but it will only take one of our sharpeners a few seconds to fix and won't cost you extra. Other at home devices that promise 'skill-free sharpening' (like the infamous pull through style sharpener) create swales, flattened curves, or destroyed serrations. There just isn't an "no-skill" method of sharpening that can make a blade last like an artist who has spent hundreds hours practicing can.
At Moleta, we use a freehand knife sharpening technique allows us to account for a repair irregular edges while removing less steel. We sharpen in the soft part of the belt which makes for a uniquely three dimensional technique that works with the belt as it moves. We take pride in our work and consider it an art form that we are thrilled to share with you.
There just isn't an unskilled method of sharpening that can make a blade last like an artist who has spent hundreds hours practicing can. We choose freehand knife sharpening (i.e. no guides or jigs) so we can re-profile your knives and especially broken tips in a way that removes less of the width of the blade. Our technique combines Italian style of grinding tool offering and Japanese method of working the blade in sections and with principles of precision achieved with practice and patience.
Our sharpeners learn to match or reproduce the proper angles by eye with a slight slack in a sanding belt. This method, as opposed to a sharpening stone wheel or plate grinding removes remarkably less steel from the blade. Additionally, properly using the slack also creates and edge that has an outward curve on a microscopic level leaving more steel backing up the edge which means your knives will stay sharp longer. While it is a more difficult style to learn because a sharpener must properly navigate three dimensions instead of two, it allows our sharpening artisans to remove more or less steel where needed to preserve the shape of your knife or bring it back to what it should be in record time.
This knife sharpening method takes intensive training and an artistic eye to master, but the results are well worth it. Dull knives are responsible for more debilitating injuries than any other handheld tool. Whether it's your staff, your family, or your friends, everyone deserves to work safely.
Typically we think of a professional knife sharpening service as only being for expensive knives, but our artisans will sharpen any knife to feel better than new and last longer too! Fast results are another benefit of our knife sharpening technique, so you get a reduced wait time and NO EXTRA CHARGES even if your knife has serrations, gouges, chips, or a broken tip.
This is your sign to stop throwing away your dull or damaged knives no matter the brand, whether they are old or relatively new, they can be better than new at a fraction of the cost with a short visit with a Moleta certified sharpener. No judgement, only the best knife sharpening results you've ever seen.

They do a great job. My Benchmade knives were sharpened while I waited, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I’ve been back multiple times and they have sharpened nearly all of my knives. The edges are razor-sharp and, with proper care and rotation, stay sharp for nearly a year. I really appreciate the skill and attention to detail. Highly recommended for anyone who wants their knives performing at their best—and fast service is a bonus! -- They are kind and friendly too!

My serrated bread knife lost its sharpness and scalloped edge. Moleta deepened the scallops and sharpened it to a razor! Fair price and EXCELLENT customer service. Highly recommend.

Visited the Waukesha Farmer's market and met with one of the artisans. We decided to give them a try and brought all of our good kitchen knives (about 10 or so) to their store in Brookfield. Very prompt and friendly help. The knives are now extremely sharp and the cost was very reasonable . Thanks!
