Knife Sharpening Service

I can sharpen your kitchen knives, however I cannot sharpen serrated blades.

A dull blade is actually more dangerous to use than one that is sharp. Here's why: A dull blade requires more pressure to cut, increasing the chance that the knife will slip with great force behind it. A sharp knife "bites" the surface more readily. 

Lawn Mower blades can also be sharpened and balanced.

It’s recommended that you sharpen the blade of your lawnmower at least once a year.

Dull blades will roughly rip through grass, leaving behind raggedly torn tips on the ends of the individual grass blades. And that can cause the grass to turn brown and leave your lawn more susceptible to disease and pests. Sharp blades, on the other hand, cut grass quickly and cleanly, resulting in a neatly trimmed, healthier lawn.
