About Get Sharp
The pursuit of the perfect edge
I'm Cory. I got tired of sharpening videos that hid the details, tools that didn't do the job, and abrasives that cost too much and took forever to arrive. So I fixed all three.
Today Get Sharp is a sharpening shop in Mukilteo, Washington, a YouTube channel watched around the world, and a supply store for the same belts and tools we use every day.

Why Get Sharp exists
Built out of frustration
Chasing the sharpest, toughest edges cost me thousands over the years. Here's what I set out to fix.
See every detail
Most sharpening videos are filmed on gear that hides what matters. We use professional optics so you can see exactly what's happening at the edge.
Tools that do the job
When the tools we needed didn't exist or cost too much, we worked with engineers to design and bring new ones to market.
Pro abrasives, fair prices
The same belts and abrasives we use in the shop, without the inflated prices or the long wait.

The technical standard
How a knife moves through the shop
From family heirlooms to a chef's daily workhorse, every blade gets the same process.
-
Inspect
Every blade is checked under magnification for chips, rolls and the original geometry.
-
Repair and profile
Damage is ground out and the profile is restored before any sharpening starts.
-
Grit progression
A multi-stage progression takes the edge from coarse to refined without overheating the steel.
-
Deburr
The burr is fully removed so the edge stays sharp in use, not just off the bench.
-
Inspect again
A final hands-on check. If it doesn't pass, it goes back on the bench.
“Treat every knife as if it's our most precious blade”
