What got you into sharpening knives?

Getting my knives sharpened was a chore. Other sharpening services left me dissatisfied with the poor communication, inconsistent pricing, or over-polished edge that couldn’t cut into tomatoes.

I began learning how to sharpen from a local mentor. I started with Japanese whetstones to master the fundamentals of maintaining a consistent angle and minimizing the amount of steel removed. I upgraded to custom knife sharpening machines for a more refined and consistent process.

I started by picking up knives from homes, sharpening in my garage, and dropping them back off. On my way home one day, I stopped by Harmony Farms butcher shop and asked if I could set up outside their store. I’ve been there every Saturday since.

Over the next 6 years I’ve partnered with local grocery stores to make knife sharpening more accessible for you. And I’m looking to add more!

I aim to provide a service that is convenient, reliable, and fun.

I’d love to share my journey with you on Instagram & YouTube!
