2 years ago today we accepted money for sharpening a valued customer's knives for the first time. That started a great adventure that is still going strong and I have our community and all our customers to thank for that. I had just retired from a big corporate career and I knew my 40+ years of sharpening could be a success. Dad, the Sam in our name, I think would be proud of where we've taken it. Many pop up markets, house calls, SamSharp Goods selling our own line of sharpening accessories and created a mail order service that has served 17 states catering to the shaved ice and boat/auto upholstery industries. Those industries are not related but it's a great story, ask me sometime. Why do we do what we do? Check out our story at https://www.samsharpsharpening.com/aboutus.htm . I have learned a lot about sharpening along the way, running a small business and what it means to be a community oriented business. HUGE shout out to my friends at G FIVE Feed & Outdoor . They define community business supporting community business and I am so appreciative of the platform they afford me any time I ask. Customer service has been pretty easy with a simple philosophy of treating people like I would like to be treated and if you're not happy with the service you don't pay, that's it, it works. Now, where do we go from here? We don't want to grow into some big company with multiple stores and franchises and all that but within our size we would love to reach more dull knives! You can help us by telling about the experience you have had with us. Google reviews are HUGE for our type of business, if you have a moment we would love to see our number of reviews grow at https://g.co/kgs/B2wix9m . Not to feed our ego but to harness the power of the internet to serve more people. Thank you for considering a review but even more, THANK YOU! for being along with us for a great ride. Bob and Emma
