Mechanical - Hybrid - Manual

A sharp knife is a joy to use. We offer knife sharpening services appropriate to your cutting tool. Standard Mechanical sharpening is performed with the aid of electrically powered tools. Hybrid sharpening will use some power and some hand driven tools. Manual sharpening is performed with no electrically powered tools.

We apply the edge to meet your needs and your budget.

We produce a small number of hand crafted knives each year.

Our products will include: bushcraft, carving, EDC, hunting and kitchen knives.

Hand Crafted knives are one of our passions

We offer a variety of cutting tools which include everyday carry (EDC), neckers, kitchen cutlery and outdoor knives for hunting and bushcraft. Each knife is made of reliable materials and crafted to perform anticipated cutting tasks. Our knives are not unbreakable and will require maintenance to keep them in good working order. Our knives are designed and built to handle reasonable cutting tasks.
