Sharper Than New

Sharper Than New (STN) is a Sarasota, Florida based corporation, locally-owned and operated by Krystina Muller, a professionally trained knife sharpener, since 2008.

“A sharp knife is a safe knife and more pleasurable to use,” Krystina’s grandfather would tell her, as she’d sit mesmerized in his shed watching him sharpen her grandmother’s knives. Today, she teaches her customers the value of this message.

Krystina started sharpening as a traditionalist, exclusively using whetstones, files, and a Tormek – a slow wetstone grinder. In 2010 Krystina became one of the first dealers of the Wicked Edge Sharpening system and incorporated it into her innovative knife sharpening profession.

Krystina’s services were a staple at the local Sarasota Farmer’s Market for over 10 years,
serving the home chef as well as the professional chef. In 2019 she opened a Sharper Than New storefront, offering a selection of choice kitchen knives, including Wusthof, Shun, and Town Cutler, alongside her sharpening services.

STN is nestled between S. Orange and S. Palm avenues in Historic Burns Square at 537 S. Pineapple Ave Sarasota, FL 34236
