What we sharpen

One specialist for every edge

Cutlery, tools, and outdoor blades, each ground to its correct angle so it cuts the way it was built to. From the chef's knife in your kitchen to the chain on your saw.

Kitchen Cutlery

Chef's knives, paring knives, bread knives and shears restored to a clean, controlled edge that makes everyday cooking safer and faster.

Woodworking Tools

Chisels, plane irons, planer blades and jointer knives sharpened by a tradesperson who actually uses them. The gap most local shops miss.

Outdoor Knives

Hunting knives, fillet knives and field tools brought back to a keen edge for hunters, anglers and the lodges around the Bay.

Garden Tools

Pruners, loppers, hedge shears, hoes and spades put back into shape so spring and fall yard work stops fighting you.

Commercial Kitchen Sharpening

Mobile service and regular rotations for restaurants, with bulk pricing so your whole line always runs on safe, sharp knives.

Scissors & Shears

Household scissors, sewing shears and garden snips reground to slice cleanly instead of folding and chewing through material.

Axes & Hatchets

Splitting axes, hatchets and camp tools given a durable working edge for the woodpile, the trail and the cottage.

Mower Blades & Saw Chains

Mower blades balanced for a clean, healthy cut, plus chainsaw chains sharpened to bite straight and fast again.

Skate Sharpening

Precision hockey and figure skate sharpening built for a hockey town. Coming soon as Edgewise grows.
