Finally got annoyed that you couldn't cut something?
There's many inferior and cheaper ways to get "sharper than before." But it'll take you at least 5-50 hours of practice to actually get results that truly "sharp." I want you to protect and cherish your free time.
Let me care for your daily blades, and let's start a year-round relationship that let's you enjoy the bliss of a knife at peak performance, all year round, so you can love working without ever experiencing the annoyances cause by dullness again.
Keep reading to get all of your questions answered, or click "start now" to schedule a drop-off.
Sharpness and dullness if often misunderstood, which is over 85% of the knives I've serviced are past the point of dull, they're damaged and need reprofiling. Save 60% on maintenance sharpening's so you're happy year-round.
First Time Knife Sharpening
The first visit with each new knife requires the most amount of time. Each knife will get:
Quality work with no rushing or temptation to cut corners, done on the Tormek T8, one of the best machines in the industry for consistent, high quality results.
Repairing any broken tips, chips, microchips on your blade.
Re-profiling the edge to set us for easy, consistent maintenance in the future.
Our Standard Edge: a balanced 16° edge with a moderate toothy finish to cut through the skins of food items.
You will experience the bliss of a peak performance, and perhaps even enjoy working and prepping again.
Add one year of maintenance
+$18 per knife
This option is a no brainer if you want to prevent making the same mistakes that damaged your edge in the first place, and want to enjoy optimal performance year round.
The key time to maintain a sharp edge is when the 0.0001mm apex begins to warp, but 99% of the cutting edge is still in good shape and free of damage.
Since we did the hard work on your first visit, it takes 60% less time to maintain.
In general, every 4 months is a good period of time to keep you enjoying an optimally performing knife year round.
Each maintenance is only $6 per visit, at 3 times per year.
You will receive an reminder every 4 months to make an appointment.
Committing to a year of service guarantees you ALWAYS loving your time with your knives, without letting procrastination get in your way.
We also sharpen:
Scissors - Household, Kitchen, Fabric, any beveled scissors - $10
Lawn Mower Blades (pre-removed) - $20
Axes / Hatchets - $15
Loppers / Pruners - $15
At this time we cannot sharpen grooming / barber / convex shears.

New Milford residents are plagued by two questions:
"Where is sharpening near New Milford, because I'm tired of using this dull blade"
Are You Dull Minded?
The marketing for these rods must be pretty convincing, because we've noticed A LOT of people don't know these rods don't actually sharpen the edge.

Below is a perfectly sharpened edge, out of the box.
As you use the knife daily, the very tip of the edge warps, bends, or folds. It will lose performance, but doesn't mean it's "dull" yet.
To make it workable again, we can use a honing rod. The edge isn't any sharper, it's just pointing in the right direction again.
However, honing does NOT create a new edge. Therefore even with regular honing, the edge will dull out, round off, and officially need to be sharpened.
To truly sharpen a knife, the minimal ammount of material needed must be removed to form a new edge.
These sharpeners are GREAT… for people who want to feel like they're getting results, without actually getting any. There's actually four major problems that these sharpeners create.

A great edge is supposed to have a uniform, consistent angle and scratch pattern for maximum strength and performance.
Pull-through's create a burr without removing it. The burr is sharp, but it's thin and flimsy. That's why you have to re-sharpen after a few uses.
The top-down view pictured below shows you the edge after a pull through. Thick reflections of light like that indicate flat, dull, or rolled over edges.
To make it workable again, we can use a honing rod. The edge isn't any sharper, it's just pointing in the right direction again.
A pull-through's scratch pattern is sloppy and inconsistent, leading to excessive sharpening and a shorter lifespan of your knife.
Most people don't strop their blade after using a pull-through, which mean these metal shards only have one place to go; your food.
This is a mentality problem; you're putting too much focus on the tool itself, instead of the desired outcome of the tool. There's actually only one major difference between an expensive blade and a cheap blade…

Every time you pick up a knife, it's because you had some goal in mind: To cut the tomato, to open a box, to cut the tag, etc.
To reach that outcome you only need one thing: A Sharp Edge.
A sharp cheap knife, a sharp expensive knife, a sharp spoon, a sharp ANYTHING is capable of completing that goal.
Inversely, a dull cheap knife, dull expensive knife, spoon, ANYTHING will NOT cut through.
The biggest relevant difference between an expensive and cheap blade is how long that sharp edge will last.
It is equally important for you to keep your cheap knife sharp. Sharpening is not a luxury service reserved for high end knives.
Luckily, I sell "pre-fessionally" sharpened knives, ready-to-go!
We argue that sharpening is health-care. It's cheaper than insurance, faster than hospital waiting rooms, and more satisfying than seeing a shrink. Get a sharpening once, and you'll never go back to the dull life.
