Mail In and Drop Off Blade Sharpening Services Serving Manhattan, Westchester, the Boroughs, Nassau and Western Suffolk

Knife sharpening services can preserve vintage blades, keep high-quality knives working like new, and restore life to older cutlery. The services may not have a brick-and-mortar location in every town as they once did, but professional services are available and ready to help. Mobile sharpening companies provide a valuable service for those within the area they travel to but are also accessible for people outside these locations thanks to mail-in services.

What We Sharpen

Drop-off Knife Sharpening and mail-in services are not only for professional chefs, home cooks, or knife collectors. Companies like ProChef NY can make an array of blades ready for use. Many professionals and hobbyists will benefit from the skills a sharpening service can offer. A few examples include:

• Landscapers and gardeners
• Farmers
• Hairstylists and barbers
• Medical facilities
• Sculptors and other artists

Mail-in knife sharpening is a simple solution that provides customers with the same quality service they receive through drop-off sharpening. We complete all mail-in sharpening services rapidly and immediately return finished products. We do all we can to prevent any unnecessary delays. Contact us directly to make sure the blade is something we can sharpen. A phone call also ensures the customer has an accurate shipping address and an estimate for when they will receive their item.

Do not risk the loss of the knife and potential legal charges by mailing a switchblade through the postal service without permission. Other shipping companies are less restrictive and equally affordable for this service.

FedEx and UPS have much fewer restrictions on shipping blades, including switchblades. The companies still require customers to use safe shipping practices. Carefully packaging all sharp instruments protects the people handling the package and keeps the blades safer while in transit.

• Wrap the blade in several layers of newspaper or brown packing paper.

• Tape the exterior of the paper to hold it closed so it will not unwrap during shipping. Blades taped in this manner are easier and safer to remove from the packaging.

• Do not apply any tape directly to the blade.

• Place the blade in a rigid and secure box.

• Place the first box inside a second box. Double-boxing is an extra layer of protection if the blade manages to poke through the first couple of layers of material.

• Put paper, packing peanuts, or bubble wrap around the first box to give it an adequate level of cushioning. The padding will also help it remain secure in the center of the box.

• The absence of packing material around the first box will allow the interior package to move inside the larger box. The movement could result in damage to the item mailed in for sharpening.

• Keep all shipping receipts to make it easier to track the package and know when it reaches its destination.



• Contact us to schedule an appointment for a drop-off or mail-in sharpening session. Contact us by phone or on our Facebook page with any questions about what tools or other equipment we sharpen. We can also provide location schedules and price quotes for one item or a larger order.
