All postsFrequently asked questions
How often should I have my knives sharpened?
For normal household use we recommend having kitchen knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year. If you cook every day, plan a sharpening appointment at least every 6 months. Between appointments, regular honing with a sharpening steel helps keep the edge in shape.
Which knives can Aareschliff sharpen?
We sharpen steel blades: kitchen knives (chef's knives, vegetable knives, filleting knives, bread knives), hunting and pocket knives, carving knives and trade knives, as well as scissors (kitchen, tailor's and household scissors).
Which scissors do you sharpen?
We sharpen kitchen scissors, tailor's scissors and household scissors. We currently do not sharpen hairdressing scissors.
How does the pick-up and delivery service work?
You book an appointment online, pack your knives safely (for example rolled up in a cloth) and put them out in front of your house. We come to you in the Brugg / Aargau region, sharpen your knives properly and bring them back a week later.
What does professional knife sharpening cost?
Prices depend on the length of the blade. Simple kitchen knives start at CHF 8 each. You'll find the current price list on our prices page.
What is the difference between sharpening and honing with a steel?
A sharpening steel realigns the edge and keeps it sharp, but it removes no material. It is ideal for daily care, yet it is no substitute for professional sharpening. Sharpening removes material from the blade to create a new, even edge. That is necessary once a knife has gone blunt or shows damage.
How do I pack my knives safely for hand-over?
The easiest way is to bring the knives with blade guards. If you don't have any, wrap the knives in a kitchen towel or, if need be, newspaper and secure them with a rubber band or tape. Please never transport unsecured knives in a bag.
Does frequent sharpening wear a knife down?
Yes, professional sharpening removes a little material. On high-quality blades with enough blade width that is no problem over many years. A well-cared-for knife that is honed regularly and only sharpened when needed lasts for decades.
Can I bring a single knife, or is there a minimum?
There is no minimum order value when you drop off your knives — we'll sharpen a single knife too. For pick-up, the current minimum order value is CHF 40.
Which municipalities does Aareschliff serve?
Our catchment area covers the Brugg region and the canton of Aargau, including Brugg, Windisch, Baden, Zurzach, Lenzburg and the surrounding area.
How long until I get my knives back?
If you drop your knives off, you normally get them back within 0–3 days. Large quantities or extensive repairs can take a little longer. With the pick-up option you get your knives back within 7 days.
