A collection of tools which exemplify what can be sharpened

Knife and Tool
Sharpening Service

As a basket maker, wild crafter and willow farmer, I use a lot of tools. Sharp tools are safer tools - for me, my baskets and my willow. I hate seeing my students struggle to make a clean cut with their clippers or use a dull knife to slype a willow rod. I wanted sharp tools for myself and I wanted the same for my students, so here we are…introducing One Cut Sharpening!

Knife sharpening with my Tormek T8

I sharpen using a Tormek T8 professional grade slow speed water cooled grinding and honing machine. The Tormek T8 allows me to sharpen with precision and remove only a minute fraction of the steel at each sharpening - giving your knives and scissors the fine edge you want and a longer lifespan.

Pricing*

  • Knives………….$6 for blades up to 5 inches, $1 each additional inch (6 inch = $7, 7 inch = $8, 8 inch = $9, etc)

  • Knives, serrated…….$3 an inch (must be hand done)

  • Knives, chip removal or tip repair…..$8 in addition to sharpening fee for the blade

If I don’t feel 100% confident about sharpening the blade you bring, my mentor Pete, of Pete’s Sharpening (with 10 years of experience) will make sure it gets done right!

With the right tool and a sharp edge, it should only take one cut!
