Aframes Tokyo

Excellent work. So excellent that I went home and cut a thin layer off of my pinky finger because I'm so not used to sharp sharp knives. I took 11 knives there on a Tuesday I believe. I got the call to pick up my knives on Friday. Saturday they're closed but I got there early Sunday morning. Perfect!! The bill came out to $130 and it was actually ok for me. Nothing worse than cutting food with dull knives. Since I never sharpened them professionally since I bought the knives, it was all worth it. Sorry I have no pictures of before and after but pls take my word for it...they are all sharp sharp and I am so excited to be able to use all of them again!!!

I really like this little hole in the wall knife shop in the City Square open market. The business is called Aframes Tokyo and is a very unique knife sharpening and knife products shop. I cook a lot and appreciate good knives so I got a Tommy Onion sharpening tool as a gift once. I went to Woodcraft to purchase replacement belts for my sharpener then I happened to go to the open market to shop. This is when I discovered Aframes. The belts that I had purchased was 25% cheaper and the amount of quality knives and sharpeners are pretty immense. If and whew I need to purchase a new knife I will return here first before I shop around.

What a sharp place...literally!!Aframes Tokyo is as close to Japan in cutlery I ever seen and it's all found here in The Marketplace here at City Square.Not just knives but all things with a blade here you can find a lot of things to take care and maintain your sharpness which I do pretty well but sometimes we just need the professional help. You can find all sorts of knives here which I did purchase a boning knife and if you do the first sharpening service is free but my personal favorite child of mine needed a little extra TLC and finally decided to take it here. Of course he noticed there was quite a bit of chip and fixed it super fast for $12 I do have other knives but is still in good shape so when you just need one and not a minimum of 5 for other places here you can have it back to it glory in no time while shopping around for more knives or groceries.A cut above all others that goes straight to the point.Thank you!!

I found this place searching through Yelp. I took five knives that ive had for years. Not all were top quality but wanted them sharpened. Talk to the owner and he gave me prices between 12 and 15 dollars per knife. He had alot of new knives in his showcase and did not try to make a sale. He was courteous and help me for what i went their for. I felt very comfortable their. Knives came out sharp and clean. I will return again with more knives. Great service great job.

Took 2 Wusthof kitchen knives and Takeshi sharpened them like new! One is over 30 years old! $17 to fix and reshape the old knife, $12 for the newer version.

I brought in two more knives and purchased one. Two knives I brought in had chips from my mom hacking bones. Mr. Takeshi did a nice job fixing the blade and taking off some rust.

With the Covid-19 and the need to sew face masks , I found my Keen Kutter heirloom scissor which has been in the family since the 1940's a bit dull to work with. I was hesitant about having it sharpened just anywhere. I searched Yelp and Aframe Tokyoappeared. As I researched further I realized Aframe was located in Chinatown Marketplace in City Square Shopping Center on Dillingham which I go to weekly for local produce. I recalled seeing Aframe Tokyo and the beautiful knives on display. I therefore requested cost estimate via Yelp. Takeshi was quick to respond and forthright that he needed to see the scissors to determine whether or not he could sharpen it.I took my scissor in, Takeshi looked it over sharpened and cleaned it for $15. It is now cutting beautifully again and I couldn't be happier. I'm taking my other Keen Kutter in for sharpening.

Very helpful. Visitited this tiny kiosk and I was impressed with the assortment of specialty knives and sharpening equipment. There's only one guy and he's busy sharpening knives. I got his attention and asked for advice qhich he was more than happy to oblige. Did npt try to "sell" me on unnecessary services or producs but gave me genuine advice for my sushi knives. I can tell he has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Would recomend.

Very good service and he does good work. Better than those mail in knife sharpening services. He charged me $12 to sharpen a 10" butcher knife. He even took off some rust.

Great work, fast and professional. He even gave me tips on how to keep my knives sharp and how to sharpen at home.
