Meet your professional knife sharpener

HELLO MY NAME IS WALTER ORTEZ …

… and I sharpen knives. I currently sharpen knives for a number of restaurants and other commercial kitchens, as well as for many home cooks who appreciate a sharp knife. From the Canadian border to Olimpia, The knives go through a 6-7 step process which leaves them razor sharp.

I learned my sharpening technique from master Blade smith Ken Wick, who has been sharpening knives since 1985. Ken taught me to have a real passion for the craft. He generously taught me the sharpening techniques that he has perfected over the last 30 years.
