What is the difference between whetstone and machine sharpening?
Whetstone sharpening uses traditional Japanese water stones to create a refined, razor-sharp edge by hand. It's ideal for high-end Japanese knives like gyuto, santoku, and nakiri. Machine sharpening uses our Tormek water-cooled system for consistent results at a lower cost, and works great for Western-style and everyday kitchen knives.

Green Point Knives offers same-day knife sharpening service at our NYC truck locations. Most knives take 5–15 minutes depending on condition and the sharpening method chosen. No appointment needed—just visit us at one of our weekly Brooklyn or Manhattan locations.
