I TEST ALL THE KNIVES I SHARPEN USING THIS METHOD.

Meet Tom Downs
I was a tool and die maker in a previous life where I learned to work with hardened steels and many types of equipment holding very tight precision tolerances. I really enjoy working with my hands and operating precision machinery. I started my sharpening business in 2019, preparing for a full time retirement business. I am a person who enjoys working and I take great satisfaction in taking customers' dull and damaged cutlery and returning them better than new.
My Process
I am often asked how I sharpen knives or what I use.
I use a machine designed specifically for knife sharpening. I can adjust the angle on the blade with precision accuracy based on the type of knife and it’s intended use.
​
It uses high tech belts at low speeds and removes very little material while obtaining a high polish on the cutting edge. No grinders are ever involved. Grinders remove too much material and often burn the edge of the knife. I also repair extremely dull cutlery, chipped blades and damaged points.
​
If you're a frequent home cook and use your knives at least once a day, you should sharpen your knives 2 to 3 times a year. A sharp knife does not only do a better job of cutting and slicing food, it also lets you work faster and safer.
​
Please contact me for your knife and scissor sharpening needs. I know you will be pleased with the results and you'll never work with dull and unsafe knives again.
