Next-day knife sharpening · Midtown Toronto
Slicey is the neighbourhood knife sharpening service Midtown home cooks trust with their high-end knives. Drop them off by appointment down the street, pick them up sharp by tomorrow.
Your knives go dull within weeks. Dinner turns into a fight, sawing tomatoes, crushing herbs, pressing harder than you should. The sharpener you’d trust is across town, or gone two weeks in the mail. You shouldn’t have to live with the dull.
A skilled sharpener up the street, not two weeks waiting on the mail.
Book a time that suits, weekdays to 9pm, and leave them at the bench.
Drop off today, pick up a restored edge tomorrow.
Pro-grade work at a few dollars a blade. No specialist markup.
Finished by hand on stones and a diamond strop, for an edge that lasts.
How it works
Book a drop-off in Midtown Toronto, Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm, and pick up a sharp knife the next day. No mailing it away, no waiting weeks.
Book a drop-off time online at 112 Wanless Ave, Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm, then bring in your safely towel-wrapped cutlery.
We check every blade by hand, the steel, the angle, the damage, and text you one flat-rate quote before any work starts.
Pay securely online, then pick up your knives, sharpened, wrapped, and ready to use.
We text you a flat-rate quote before any work begins. No surprise fees, no hidden upcharges.
Every edge is set on a slow, water-cooled belt that stays cold to the touch, so the temper that keeps your knife hard is never damaged by heat.

Restoration & repair
A dropped tip, a chipped edge, an heirloom buried under decades of drawer rust, few knives are truly beyond saving. We bring damaged blades back to real working condition, while keeping the marks and patina that make them yours.
