Knife Sharpening for Von Hanson’s Customers
Knife Sharpening for Von Hanson’s Customers
Von Hanson’s Meats is a Minnesota favorite for a reason, great cuts, generous service, and a classic butcher shop feel. For some locations, that even includes access to a sharpening truck on certain days. It’s a nice idea, but in practice it can be hard to match your real life to that schedule.
Sharpow gives Von Hanson’s customers another option: 24/7 mail-in sharpening kits you can use any day of the week, without waiting for a truck, changing your plans, inventing packaging or loading knives into the car.
The Challenge with Truck-Based Sharpening Days
If you’ve tried to use the sharpening days at Von Hanson’s, you already know the friction points:
- You have to be at a specific store, on a specific day, at a specific time.
- Service can depend on whether the truck shows up and how busy it is.
- You need to transport your knives, carefully, across town.
- It’s hard to send your full set without being stuck at home with nothing sharp.
For a lot of people, that means sharpening only happens “someday,” and dull knives hang around longer than they should. Most start cooking another meal before the knives get serviced.

Worried About Being Without Knives? Add a New Knife You Keep
One of the biggest reasons people delay sharpening is simple: they still need to cook. If you send everything out at once, what are you supposed to use in the meantime?
Sharpow solves this by giving you the option to add a brand-new, well-crafted kitchen knife to your kit that you keep.
- Order your kit wit a new knife.
- Send your whole set in at once.
- Use your new knife while the others are being serviced.
- Get everything back sharp and ready to go.
