I was raised in Three Hills, Alberta and came to Edmonton to attend the University of Alberta’s chemical engineering program in 2016. In 2021 I graduated from the Co-op program and worked for 3 years in engineering sales before being laid-off. This experience, combined with an interest in and exposure to multiple family members with small businesses inspired me to take up sharpening with the intent of starting my own business. I am extremely passionate about sharpening a variety of tools and equipment and am always researching and learning new things to better serve my customers. Hard work doesn’t intimidate me, especially if it means providing a great customer experience. Please give me a shout or refer family or friends to me for all your sharpening needs!
A dull blade isn’t just inefficient—it changes how you work, compromises safety, and forces you to work twice as hard. We approach blade & edged tool maintenance differently, treating sharpening as an art, with dedication to our craft. From setting the correct edge angle on a premium culinary knife to completely changing the edge geometry and performance of a hard-working axe head, we ensure every tool leaves our shop in peak condition.
We only resort to quick, aggressive grinding techniques when an edge is damaged with chips and nics so a uniform edge profile can be re-established. Instead, we carefully evaluate the condition of your equipment, using precise techniques to restore structural balance and edge integrity to maximize your equipment’s lifespan. Whether you are a professional relying on your equipment to maintain your livelihood, a homeowner caring for your property, a prolific cook looking for a pristine cutting edge, or an outdoor enthusiast who expects the best from their gear, we give your equipment the high performance, lasting edge they deserve.
