The Focused Edge Sharpening

The Focused Edge Sharpening I offer fine edge sharpening of most household items such as knives, straight razors, scissors, and shears using stones by hand to preserve steel integrity

Permanently closed.

I have over 10 years of experience sharpening by hand and shaving with straight razors. In the last few years, I have entered into the industrial sharpening field as my day job. However, I am still quite passionate about the everyday household cutting tools that make our lives easier. Sharpening these items by hand yields some of the best possible results and I'm sure you will agree once experienc

I'm sure this is surprising to some and odd after posting about having a logo made, but sometimes such is life.

This has been a long time coming as running this sharpening service has become increasingly untenable for a myriad of reasons.

I was planning to operate until at least the end of October, but unfortunately it's become necessary to stop now instead.

I really appreciate everyone who has used my services over the years and I apologize for the inconvenience this may be for some of you. Please feel free to message me about finding an alternative service that might work for you.

The Instagram page will remain as a hobby page for my personal cutting tools and restorations.

Chip removal and thinned geometry on this Henckels chef. Finished just with 220 sandpaper and a 2k edge as it's not an overly expensive knife.

A tale of two Bokers. One new production; one old production. The first one came in for its second hone and the second one is one I picked up from an antique shop to restore specifically for this customer. He loved the full hollow 5/8 and wanted another that would feel similar, so why not the same company, give or take a few decades. I'm more of a functional restorer, focused more on the practical tool aspect of reviving an old piece like this. I don't do the glamorous restorations that cost hundreds to get your vintage shaver pretty, but I do think this one turned out pretty nicely. Both finished on an 1 micron stone, which so far from my testing seems to be one of the best synthetic razor finishers I've used.

**Announcement**

Due to a recent large influx of work as well as the overall stress of this year that everyone has experienced, I will be stopping sharpening service dropoff at the end of this week until the new year. It's been a rough year for everyone and this holiday season is as good an excuse as any to slow down. Thank you to everyone who has kept me busy using my services to keep your tools sharp!

The picture is of me and a quick setup I used for a trip to visit family in the Caribbean before the pandemic hit. Certainly less stressful times.

See you in the new year.

Most hair scissors come in with pivot areas like the first pic. It's just a byproduct of your hard work. No judgement, that's why I'm here. I clean every pair of hair scissors I work on and oil them to restore that glide. No point in sharp blades with a gunky clogged pivot causing resistance.
