The Sharpening Process

I'm Gary, the owner - a home based, one-man shop located in McKinney, TX. When you contact this business, you are visiting with me, the person that will actually be working on your items.  I truly care about this business and have a passion for what I do. With over 35 years of sharpening experience, I've learned to sharpen, repair, and recondition edged blades to a perfect cutting edge.

The Sharpening Process

The Sharpening Process

Knives are professionally sharpened on commercial equipment removing only as much metal as necessary. The apex of the edge is restored to the correct angle, and the new edge is then refined with a 1000-grit abrasive and honed with polishing compound on a felt belt. Finally, the edge is polished on a leather strop, and the knife is then cleaned and sanitized.

It often seems that pride in workmanship and quality is a lost value...not in my world! My goal is to provide quality service of true value to my clients. Sharpening is a science and an art. I take pride in having attained and refined that skill over many years.  My sincere promise to you is professional service - I guarantee it.
