Olivier Caza Berthelet
I am a cook by training. After working for fourteen years in Montreal restaurants as a cook/chef, an idea was born. Stay Sharp started with my daughter! I was looking for an exercise saucer to give as a gift and found a mom in my neighborhood who needed her knives sharpened. So we traded the saucer for my sharpening services. Since that day, several chefs and cooks have trusted me to sharpen their precious knives. Given the high standards that cooks expect in return for my services, I had to perfect my technique for several years in order to live up to their demands!
