How it Works / FAQ

(it’s actually a great read)

  • Call, Text, or Email via website buttons. You will reach me directly, and usually instantly. Let me know what items you'd like to get sharpened, and we'll set a convenient appointment time. Turnaround is SAME DAY or 24 hrs.

    Quotes can be provided in advance, an itemized invoice is provided after drop off. Payment at pickup of your freshly sharpened items :)

  • Nope! Sometimes you just have one or two things to do. If you need something sharpened, I'm here to help.

  • I am pleased to offer the best single-bevel serrated knife sharpening anywhere. I developed my own technique over many years to fully cut and reprofile serrations down to 2.5mm. Anything smaller can usually still be touched up.

    Most sharpening shops are not able to spend the time, nor have the precision, to offer correct serration sharpening, resulting in rounded teeth or a corner-cutting double bevel.

  • I use a range of grits on belt grinders, with razor sharp finishing via leather strop. This allows me to make all functional and aesthetic changes needed to bring the most performance and beauty out of an item. Heat is a non-issue and is migitated by proper technique.

    Whetstone sharpening, although my original method, is only available via special request.

  • Once I intake, measure, and assess your items, they are handled with sincere care during and after the sharpening process. Your items may mean a lot to you and I aim to return them in excellent condition. This includes cleaning with hot soapy water to get them ready for use as soon as you pick them up.

  • Vast majority of the time, YES. The only times they may not be is if the item is worn past being used comfortably, or if you would prefer to invest in new equipment. Otherwise, knives and other tools that are used frequently will best serve you when they are sharp! Oftenwise,
    IT IS THE SHARP EDGE THAT MATTERS MORE than the kind of knife/scissors/tool.

  • Cheaper sharpening services are available, with cheaper results that will require more frequent service (your money AND time) and shorter life of your items. Not to mention they won't ever really be satisfying to use.

    A truly razor sharp edge from a craftsman provides a user experience that can be nothing short of complete satisfaction and excitement. If you need to use these tools regularly, you deserve to have ones that both make your life easier, and are an utter joy to use. Life may just be too short to not enjoy this side of it.
