Our Story:

My dad was an accomplished sharpener of tools. He taught me from a young age to take care of those things you worked hard to own. Take care of your tools and your tools will take care of you was his often heard quote. My dad expanded his edge empire with a little sign by the road at his country residence that simply said: KNIFE SHARPENING. I made that sign for him out of wood and wish I still had it. People in the neighborhood would know where to leave their dull knives on the porch and the next day they would come back and find a fresh new super sharp edge. The known fee was $1.00 per blade and a jar served as the cash register, all honor system. My dad never counted it. He even sharpened the knives of the Letter Carrier and the parcel carriers that delivered in the area. Dad would take most of the jar money and buy these inexpensive replacement knives in bulk from a wholesaler. If a knife blade was too far damaged or worn out the customer would find a new knife taped to their old knife and a note from dad explaining why the old knife had reached the end of the road as a faithful cutting servant. That explanation was usually way more detailed then they needed but that was our dad, always the teacher. Nobody ever took advantage of it. A different era for sure that we're going to try and recreate some of it with SamSharp Sharpening Service. My daughter Emma-Grace is eager to help as I bring her up in the trade so you may talk to me or Emma-Grace. We hope you will give us a try. Hit us up here on Facebook or call anytime 813-404-2511.

I was in to see my friends at G FIVE Feed & Outdoor to pick up a Case knife for a gift. They have the best selection around. While I was there I also saw some Benchmades on closeout so if you're looking to add to your Benchmade or Case selection and want to see and handle the actual knife you will get in person. Go see'um!

We sharpened the blade from a guillotine style paper cutter today. The blade was not overly dull or beat up but this style cutter requires EXTRA sharp to cut clean stacks of paper and not letting the paper roll over. This cutter is from a local church to make their bulletins each week. The initial BESS testing score when it came in was a 260, that is about the same as a sharp kitchen knife. Final inspection, after I was done, yielded 3 tests on three different parts of the blade that BESS scored a 121, 125 and a 129. Now we have 19" razor and extreme care putting it back together. Tomorrow those chruch bulletins are in for a real treat. You have a challenge for us to sharpen?
