Join me on the journey of discovery

An engineer by trade, I started sharpening in 2015 and was quickly enamored by all there is to learn and implement in this fascinating space. I started a sharpening business to serve my local community with sharp edges and began coaching other people around the globe on how to start and operate sharpening businesses. Artisinal sharpening is a never-ending pursuit of knowledge and experience and my hope with this course is to help you move past that daunting feeling when just getting started.
