The Art of Togishi
You know how to sharpen. But do you have time to fix the geometry? When a knife is sharpened only at the edge for years, it becomes thick behind the edge. It cuts paper, but wedges in carrots.
At TOGIYA, we are blade surgeons. We utilize the Tormek T-8 water-cooled system for precise geometry restoration and heat-free grinding, followed by hand-polishing on Japanese stones to restore the soul of the blade.

More Than Just Sharp
We solve structural issues with the patience and respect of traditional Togishi craftsmanship.
Wedging
Symptom: Your knife cuts paper but cracks carrots.
The Togishi Way: Thinning (Honbazuke). We patiently remove metal from the sides using coarse stones, restoring the blade's original geometry and soul.
Broken Tips
Symptom: Dropped knife, missing 1-2mm of tip.
The Togishi Way: Tip Reconstruction. We carefully reshape the spine to meet the edge, preserving the knife's spirit and balance.
Single Bevel Ruin
Symptom: Yanagiba sticking to fish or steering.
The Togishi Way: Uraoshi Restoration. We realign the Shinogi line and polish the Ura, honoring the blacksmith's original intent.

Consistency is
The Only Metric
Your team's performance depends on their tools. Dull knives mean slower prep, bruised ingredients, and higher risk of injury.
We partner with Miami's top kitchens to provide a seamless rotation service. We pick up, sharpen to your exact specifications, and return within 24 hours.
