Say goodbye to dull kitchen knives. Sharpow, a first-of-its-kind mail-in knife sharpening kit, is now available exclusively at all Kowalski's Markets! Just toss a kit in your cart next time you're shopping. Inside, you'll find prepaid postage and everything you need to safely ship your knives for professional, quality sharpening. Within 1-3 days, you'll get them back sharp, safe and ready to slice like new.

This innovative service is brought to you by Vivront, a local knife sharpening and culinary shop based in Edina, Minnesota. Every knife sent through Sharpow is assessed, repaired and restored by Vivront's trained sharpeners, who understand that no two blades are the same. Improper sharpening can damage a knife's edge or reduce its lifespan, but Sharpow's expert process preserves performance and extends the life of your knives.

"Most people have never experienced what a truly sharp knife can unlock in the kitchen," says Joseph Rueter, founder of Sharpow. While more than 90% of U.S. households own kitchen knives, only 8% have ever had them professionally sharpened. It's not always easy to know where to go, how to sharpen them at home or when to find the time. Sharpow is a smart, simple solution to this common kitchen challenge.

Enjoy the difference a sharp knife can make. Find Sharpow Kits in the Meat Department at your local Kowalski's Market.
