Simply contact us to schedule a time to bring in your items normally anytime any day. We often sharpen them the same day. For small items, such as a clipper blade or other tools like a mower blade, we would be happy to do it for you while you wait. However, if possible, call ahead to confirm availability, as we may be out on a local job. If we are in the workshop, we will prioritise your work. If we are absent for whatever reason please see below for drop-off options if you arrive while we are away.
If we’re out when you arrive, no problem — you can leave your items in one of our secure drop-boxes just outside the workshop. We’ll let you know as soon as your sharpening is ready for collection. [See more details and photos of the drop-boxes here.]
If you’re within a few miles of Bomere Heath (SY4 3PL), we can collect and return your items for a modest fee. If you have many items or are disabled, this attendance fee may well be waived. Call us to ask — we’re always happy to help where we can. [click to dial 07811 262108]
This is more of a B2B service or for households with many knives to sharpen. If you’re a busy chef, publican, or caterer with top quality knives, we’ll come to your premises and sharpen them on-site. It’s quick, convenient, and ensures your tools stay in peak condition without downtime. [see more details here]
Not local? No problem. We offer a reliable nationwide postal sharpening service — so, if you’re in Cornwall or Caithness, we’re as close as your local Post Office counter. [Click here for full details on our mail order service.]
We Offer More Than Sharpening
While we sharpen and hone chef’s knives, professional’s scissors for hairdressers, dog groomers, seamstresses, industrial and other professionals’ items. We also attend to more seemingly mundane items and, if need be, we do not only sharpen them; if required, we refurbish them or, out of necessity, repair them. Numerous items frequently require more than sharpening, such as wood chisels and secateurs; they may need repair or servicing. Older items usually require some attention, and many customers bring us items from the past that will respond to some care. Misuse is prevalent; wood chisels previously used to open paint cans are a common occurrence, almost as common is nail damage to the edge. Many hedge trimmers have inevitably cut hedging wire and need a new edge. Pinking shears that have lost their ability to “pink” after years of use are another frequent request from seamstresses.
We provide our services locally and via post and courier nationally. We possess equipment identical to the manufacturer’s production machinery. These machines are unique, so we have received specialised training on their use, hence being “Certified". This enables us to sharpen hairdressers’ scissors, preventing them from being sent to other countries such as Germany or Japan for rework.
