Knife Sharpening Adventures

One of the pleasures of sharpening knives is meeting new people.  Today I sharpened knives for two retired archaeologists.  It was fun to see their knives brought back to their former glory.  The treat was I was invited to listen to some renown archaeology lectures in the future :)

Capability


I can sharpen to a precise angle with diamond, ceramic or Chosera stones to as fine as .125 micron.

Hello


Hello,

Happy New Year! I have started a new hobby of hand sharpening knives with a very precise system.   Well, my knives are now sharp and I thoroughly enjoyed sharpening them.  I need some more knives to sharpen! 

As far as I am concerned, the duller the knife the more fun it is to see it brought back to prime condition.
I am willing to come by your house, pick-up your knives and return them to you sharp the same day.  It takes me about 15 minutes per knife working through a variety of stone grits.  First sharpening of any knife is free.  I cannot yet do scissors, serrated knives or chisels.  I am happy to sharpen 2 or 3 knives for you for free.  Ultimately, I may charge a little ($3-$5 per knife) for a subsequent sharpening request to pay for the wear and tear on the stones.  For now, I get the exercise and the enjoyment of seeing a knife become sharp and benefiting a neighbor J Don’t worry, I am not selling anything.  I am a happy in my current career.  Just let me know if you need another sharpening.

I have already sharpened one of our neighbor’s knives.  He had a couple of dull knives in his trailer.  It was great to see them respond to the stones.
   
His quote:  “I could shave with those now!”

Just e-mail me at devonshire.cutler@gmail.com or call me on my cell at 971-219-4261 and we can arrange a free sharpening.

Wishing you a great new year for you and your knife in your kitchen!
