I visited John's workshop on the weekend. He is incredibly knowledgeable regarding knife composition, construction and metals. I own a number of expansive Japanese knives and European knives which he restored to razor sharp. He also gave me a lesson on proper use of a knife steel to restore the edge and maintain the life of the knife between sharpening. I highly recommend visiting John if you have high end knives like my Japanese ones which require a special understanding of how to sharpen. Thanks again John!

Wow. Coming to Master Sharp was genuinely an experience befitting the name of the business. It's not every day you encounter a true master of their own craft and trade, and Jon is a definitely a master for the books. He has over 30 years of not just honing but also making all types of knives and edges and his experience truly shows in his detailed and perfect work. I have a very unique and one of a kind heirloom warrior knife from Japan that required special attention. It had received quite a bit of abuse and was beyond what I thought to even be repairable, so I looked around for the best knife specialist I could find on the internet. And so I found Jon at Master Sharp. One quick look from Jon subsided all worries immediately, as he knew from but a glance exactly what kind of knife and metal he was working with and fixed it with professional and artisanal care in unbelievable time. He not only fixed it with loving care, he took the time to fully explain the significance of the knife and its history and metallurgical engineering, and restored it to a museum-quality piece. He then only asked a surprisingly fair price (I would have been happy to pay more!), which demonstrated that he was really doing this work for the love of it. I rarely leave reviews for businesses but Master Sharp truly deserves more than 5 stars. Do not hesitate whatsoever to bring anything to this institution regarding knives or perhaps even life. Below are some photos of his amazing work. Thank you Jon. You are a true blue Melbourne legend. I will see you again for sure.
What an amazing service, and an amazing, skilled trades person - Jon. Jon was very prompt with his communication. He is very polite, and friendly. He certainly knows his trade!! We had our 13 year old global knife set, which both my wife and I had attempted to sharpen with stones, and manufactured easy knife sharpers over the years. They really needed some professional attention. Google found me Master Sharp, and I am so very glad we took our knives there. As some other reviewers have said, Jon took the time to show both my wife and I how to correctly sharpen the knife - a lifelong skill that we will pass on. I 100% recommend Master Sharp. My only regret is I didn't find this service earlier, and that I have been putting up with blunt knives for the last 7 years!!
Not only did Jon bring my (almost 20yo) Global knife set back from the dead, he gave me a quick demonstration on how i could continue to care for my knives so i wouldn't have to come back! Great service and fair price. Would recommend.
Fantastic service! Jon sharpened our set of nearly 20 year old Wusthof Classic knives and they are now as good as new. He's very knowledge, friendly and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. Don't waste your time getting your knives sharpened elsewhere. Just go to Master Sharp.
The service at Master Sharp was fast, friendly, and high quality. Jon is clearly passionate, knowledgable, and skilled when it comes to knives. I take pride in the knives I own and it was great to see Jon treat my knives with care and joy. We chatted for a while and he shared some great tips about knife care. Jon sharpened and honed the blades in no time – and they are back to top slicing shape. I'll definitely be bringing my knives back to Master Sharp.
Fantastic service and information from Jon. Apart from a great (and very quick) sharpening of some long loved knives, the information and tips he shared on how to care for the blades, how to keep them sharper, transporting them, etc was worth the price in itself! A man who knows his stuff and really happy to share his knowledge. Highly recommend people use his services.
Amazing, prompt service and a very fair price! My full set of 10 Wusthof and WMF knives are sharper than new and a pleasure to use. Jon is friendly, efficient and takes pride in his work. He is more than happy to share his knowledge and expertise. I now know how to correctly use my sharpening steel and care for my knives. Thanks Jon Would highly recommend
