Kaboodle is proud to offer up the expertise of Woody Bailey and his Zen Blades service. He puts the most wicked-sharp edges you'll ever see on knives for Portland's finest chefs – and for Kitchen Kaboodle customers. Woody has studied with legendary master blade smith Bob Kramer and knows pretty much everything there is to know about the construction, selection, use, and care of fine knives.

How do I get a Zen Blades edge? Bring your dull knives to any Kaboodle store. We will have Woody put Zen Blades edges on your knives and have them back the next week. Drop off by the end of Day Sunday for pick-up the following Friday. It’s quick, easy and affordable: 

• $10 per blade for knives less than 5” 

• $15 per blade for knives 5” or longer
or serrated knives
