In-Store Service • Upper East Side

Professional Knife Sharpening

Precision sharpening for kitchen knives, chef’s blades, scissors, shears & garden tools, with same-day service right here in Yorkville.

A dull blade is more than a nuisance. It’s harder to control and tougher on your hands. At New York Paint & Hardware, a family-owned shop serving the Upper East Side since 1986, our technicians restore a true, lasting edge to the tools you rely on every day. Just bring them in to our 1668 1st Ave store and we’ll handle the rest.

What We Sharpen

From the home cook’s favorite chef’s knife to the professional kitchen’s full set, we sharpen a wide range of blades and cutting tools for our Yorkville and Manhattan neighbors. If it has an edge, bring it by and we’ll take a look.

Razor-Sharp Edge

Our technicians grind and hone each blade to a clean, durable edge that holds up to real use, not just a quick touch-up.

Same-Day Service

Drop your knives off and most jobs are ready the same day, so you’re never long without the tools you depend on.

Kitchen & Garden

Kitchen and chef’s knives, scissors, shears, pruners and other garden tools. We sharpen them all.
