Prices on sharpening supplies have gone up over the past few years. This is partly due to entry of companies with large staffs (payrolls) to support, increasingly high shipping costs, and higher prices from the manufacturers of whetstones and other sharpening products. We’re going the other way here. We’ve cut operations costs to the bone, we’re leveraging relationships with suppliers that we’ve been with for over 20 years, and are taking other cost cutting measures. The result is that you’ll get the best prices on excellent sharpening equipment! We’ll also be offering FREE SHIPPING in the US until Dec. 31, 2024.
We test abrasives all the time and if we find it wanting and wouldn’t use it, we don’t think you’d be pleased to use it either. We won’t sell what we won’t use.
We’ve been innovating in this field and have created a number of products and abrasives to get tools sharpened faster and better.
We’ve also been teaching sharpening for over 16 years and have had many private clients as well as classes we’ve taught at prestigious crafts schools like the New England School for Metalwork, The Ashokan Center, The Adirondack Folk School, and the Guilford Art Center.
