About Trey & Cutler Connect
Meet Trey
Hey y’all, I’m Trey, a former chef turned knife sharpener based in Seguin, TX.
After a decade working in professional kitchens across Central Texas and Colorado, from casual spots to fine dining, I developed a deep respect for the role good tools play in great work. In every kitchen I stepped into, one thing stayed constant: great service and attention to detail are what separate good from exceptional.
That’s the standard I bring to every knife I sharpen.
Where it Started
Working in kitchens taught me what a knife should feel like when it’s truly performing. Smooth, controlled, and effortless. What started as simple curiosity turned into learning how to sharpen my own knives, dialing in edges, and paying attention to how small changes affected performance. Before long, coworkers began handing me their knives and asking if I could do the same for them. What started as helping out between shifts quickly grew into a craft I genuinely enjoyed and continued to refine.
My Process
I combine modern equipment with traditional techniques to get the best out of every blade, handling repairs, thinning, and profiling with controlled belt work to protect the steel, then finishing each knife by hand on whetstones to create a refined, long-lasting edge that performs as well as it tests. Most knives are completed the same day, with a 24 to 48 hour window to ensure nothing is rushed.
Why Cutler Connect
Cutler Connect was built to treat kitchen tools with the same care great cooks put into their food. Knives are an extension of your work, and when they perform well, everything else follows. I serve both home cooks and professional kitchens throughout New Braunfels and the surrounding area, offering mobile and drop off services to fit your schedule. When you hand me your knife, you’re trusting me with something you rely on, and I treat it that way.
