Our Story
Celebrating 30 Years of Craftsmanship, Service, and Expertise
For the past 30 years, Perfect Edge Cutlery has been a trusted name in the San Francisco Bay Area, committed to the mastery of knife sharpening and knife selection. Founded by Mike Solaegui, our family business began with a simple yet profound goal: to provide professional chefs with the highest quality knife sharpening services and the best knives from around the world, elevating their knife craft and helping them achieve their demanding best.
From the very beginning, Mike understood that a great knife is more than just a tool—it’s an extension of the chef’s skill, a key to precision, and a partner in creating exceptional food. With this philosophy at our core, we’ve built a reputation for curating a selection of knives that meet the rigorous demands of the professional kitchen, from everyday workhorses to specialized tools for the most intricate tasks.
As a family business, we’ve always placed a premium on relationships—both with the chefs we serve and the families and people around the world whose products we offer. Over the years, our commitment to education, service, and craft has made us the number one resource for the San Francisco Bay Area’s culinary community. Whether it’s helping a new chef select their first knife, offering expert sharpening and repair services, or providing personalized advice on blade care, we’ve dedicated ourselves to helping our customers work with the finest knives available.
Our journey has been one of learning, growing, and honing our expertise. As the culinary world has evolved, so too have we, keeping pace with the latest innovations in sharpening and knife technology while remaining grounded in daily proven methods of sharpening and maintenance. Our knowledge is our greatest asset, and we’re proud to be a trusted partner to countless chefs who rely on us to keep their knives at peak performance.
As we celebrate 30 years in business, we reflect on the relationships we’ve built, the trust our customers have placed in us, and the pride we take in our work. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the San Francisco Bay Area’s dynamic culinary community, and we look forward to continuing our legacy of excellence for years to come.
Thank you for being part of our story.
