VOCUT sharpening subscription · for business customers only
Sharp knives – without ever having to think about it again.
We collect, sharpen entirely in Solingen and bring them back. And we remind you before your knives get dull. No matter which brand.
Sharpening from
€3.40 per knife
Dull knives cost you a little every day
Time
A honing steel only realigns the edge. After a few weeks the geometry is gone and every cut takes longer.
Product
Ragged cuts don’t look good on the plate or in the display counter. And there is more waste.
Safety
A dull knife needs more pressure and slips more easily. Most cutting injuries happen exactly like this.

Initial visit
We come by, record your knives and agree the interval with you. Free of charge.

Sharpening
Entirely in Solingen: freshly ground, honed, checked, cleaned.

Return

Reminder
We get in touch before the next sharpening is due. You don’t have to keep anything in mind.
Reminder service
We think ahead so you don’t have to
In the daily kitchen routine, sharpening is easily forgotten. That is why we agree with you how often your knives should be sharpened. From experience we know how quickly knives lose their edge in your kind of work.
Shortly before they become dull, you get a message from us – by call, text message, WhatsApp or email, just as you prefer. Within our area we announce the collection. Further away, we let you know it is time to send the knives.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know
Can I book the sharpening subscription as a private individual?
No. The sharpening subscription is intended exclusively for businesses. Private customers can send in their knives via our resharpening service.
Do I need to have VOCUT knives?
No. We sharpen all brands. If a knife is no longer worth it, we tell you and you decide what happens next.
How often are my knives sharpened?
We agree on this together during the initial visit, depending on how much you cut. Weekly, every two weeks or monthly. You get a reminder in good time.
What exactly do the loan knives cost?
€0.50 per knife and working day. Only the working days on which your knives are being worked on with us in Solingen are charged, at most 5 per round. Transport does not count.
How long am I tied in?
There is no minimum term and no setup fee. You can cancel at any time with 4 weeks’ notice to the end of the month.
Can I pause, for example during company holidays?
Yes. You can suspend the subscription free of charge for up to 4 weeks a year. Let us know at least one week before the next collection.
What happens if a knife is damaged?
We check every knife. In case of cracks, loose handles or breaks we don’t simply keep sharpening – we get in touch with you and advise whether a repair is worthwhile or the knife should be replaced.
How is billing handled?
Once a month with one invoice, by SEPA direct debit on request. Payment due within 14 days.
