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!
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.

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!
