The 8-minute problem

Every minute you spend quoting is a minute you're not sharpening.

$80

Average undercounted line item per restaurant stop. Cleavers and offsets get missed. "I just guessed at the end and underbilled."

7 min

Time a tech spends writing the quote before the work even starts. Multiply by 8 stops a day.

$0

Customer history you can show the chef when they ask "why is this more than last time?" No photos, no scores, no defense.

1 person

Number of people in your business who can quote a job — you. New hires can't be trained on gut feel.

How the game works

Three steps. Forty-five seconds. One signed quote.

01

📸 Snap the pile

Lay the knives out on the prep table. Take one phone photo. Edgewise opens in the browser — no app to install.

⏱ ~5 sec
02

🧠 AI does the count

Gemini Vision identifies every blade — chef, cleaver, paring, serrated, fillet — scores condition 1–5, picks the grit progression, and estimates minutes per knife.

⏱ ~25 sec
03

🧾 Hand over the quote

Itemized PDF the chef can sign. Saved to that customer's history so next visit shows the trend. Edgewise even flags rolled tips and chipped edges as tech notes.

What the tool actually does

Built around the way mobile sharpeners actually work.

🎯

14 blade categories

Chef, santoku, paring, utility, bread, serrated, boning, fillet, cleaver, butcher, slicer, nakiri, yanagiba, steak. The AI knows the difference and prices them differently.

🪨

Grit progression suggestions

From "400 → 1000 → strop" for fair edges to "220 → 1000 → 6000 → strop" for repairs. Tunable to your stone set — defaults match what most pros carry.

💵

Hourly-rate-aware pricing

Set your target ($120/hr, $180/hr, whatever). Edgewise back-solves line-item prices to hit that effective rate across the job. No leaving money on the table.

📊

Customer history that defends you

Every quote saved with photos and condition scores. Next time the chef pushes back on price, show them the trend chart.

👥

Trainable new techs

Hand a new hire your phone. The AI does the assessment — they do the work. One shift to ramp up instead of one season.

🧾

Sign-ready quote PDF

Print or email the itemized quote on the spot. Looks like a real shop, not a clipboard tally. Closes recurring restaurant contracts.

Honest answers

Frequently asked

It knows the 14 major culinary categories well (chef, santoku, paring, utility, bread, serrated, boning, fillet, cleaver, butcher, slicer, nakiri, yanagiba, steak) and gets the broad strokes right on Japanese single-bevels. For exotic or one-off pieces it tags them "Other" and asks you to confirm. You can always override any line item before printing — the AI is an assistant, not a decider.

Edgewise returns a confidence score (high / medium / low) so you can tell at a glance whether the AI saw enough. If confidence is low, you can either retake the photo or type a quick text description ("12 chef knives, 6 paring, 2 cleavers, all dull"). The quote builder works in text-only mode too.

You set your hourly target (default $120/hr; adjust 40–400). Edgewise prices each line so the total job hits that effective hourly rate, with surcharges for damaged blades and re-profiling. The math is transparent — you'll see minutes and price per knife, and you can edit any line before sending the quote.

No. Edgewise is built only for mobile knife sharpening — no generic "job scheduler" framework, no HVAC features, no extra dashboards. The Solo tier is just the quote tool. The Route tier adds scheduling and payment links. The Shop tier adds multi-tech. That's the whole product.

Photos are sent to Gemini for analysis and stored anonymized in the recent-quotes feed (no customer name, no identifying details). You can opt out of recent-feed contribution on any plan. Your customer list and history are private to your account.

Yes. The free quote tool is one click away — no email required for the first run. After two runs we'll ask for an email so we can save your history and invite you to the launch tier. No card needed until you upgrade.
