Sharpening Services

What DO We Sharpen?

Knives & Cleavers--Professional & Home

We sharpen chef’s knives, hunting knives, tactical knives and more.  We take pride in maintaining the original bevel with meticulous techniques to give you an efficient and lasting working edge even on your finest and valuable high-end knives.

Professional Scissors, Clippers & Razors

Hairstylists & Animal Groomers require a long lasting, sharp edge to give their customers a great look. We have the know-how to do it right and protect your scissor investment. We also make clippers and razors new again with a special technique to help them last longer.  Trust us to take care of your “tools of the trade”!

Skates--Recreational & Professional

Properly sharpened skates can make all the difference in enjoying your family outing.  Whether it’s hockey skates, figure skates or speed skates they need great sharpening to meet their full potential.  We understand about different radius profiles and what it takes to give you the skates you are looking for.

Axes & Mauls

We’re able to sharpen your axe or maul of any size to cut through wood “better than new”.  Bring one to get serviced to feel how easy chopping wood can be.

Woodworking Tools

Woodworking tools including unusual blade shapes like carving knives represent a challenge to sharpen but, thanks to patience and skill, it’s something we are good at. The work we carefully put into your tools will make them easier, safer and more enjoyable to use!

Lawnmower Blades

Lawnmowers work incredibly well when their blades are sharp.  If your mower seems to cut unevenly in any way, it may be due to your mower blade(s) needing sharpening.  Annual sharpening is reccomended. We can remove and reinstall on/off your mower at the shop labour rate.

Chainsaws

Chainsaws are one of the most difficult pieces of equipment to sharpen and should never be done by an amateur.  Safety is paramount with one of these and to avoid injury from kickback make sure the brake is always functional and of course…the sharper, the safer, reducing deadly chainsaw kickback!

General Purpose Tools & Equipment

Whether it’s garden tools, ice chippers, pick axes or a machete, we sharpen it!  If you don’t see your tool, blade or implement on the list, just ask please, we probably sharpen it!
