How to maintain a knife!

We get a lot of questions about how to maintain a blade after sharpening. Here is Alton Brown with a quick one minute tutorial. We suggest sharpening every six months, but with care, you can make your edge last for a year. BTW, When he says to leave the sharpening to professionals, HE MEANS US!! Death to pull through sharpeners!!!

Keeping It Sharp

Hey,

Welcome to our first Blogger entry.  I wanted to introduce ourselves to you, and let you know a little about us.  We are a professional knife and tool sharpening business here in Wichita, KS, but we serve the outlying counties as well.  We can professionally sharpen knives, scissors, mower/edger blades, Chainsaws, and most farm/lawn/and garden tools. (including Eco-friendly reel mowers)  We also sharpen woodworking hand tools such as planes, chisels, and hand saws.  We can handle commercial accounts (restaraunts, prof. tree and lawn services, farmers) with multiple items, and our turnaround time is 24-48 hours.  Our quality is second to none, and our quality statement for our knives is simple, "If it doesn't shave, it doesn't leave!"  Meaning, if the knife isn't sharp enough to shave the hair on your arm, it doesn't leave the shop!"
We can also sharpen other things, like fishing hooks and gaffs, metal tipped darts, and industrial and household paper cutters.

Hunting/Skinning Knives

Hey. 
Deer Season is here. Make sure your hunting/Skinning knife is up to the job.  These knives have a different grind than a kitchen knife, and can be ruined by using a "pull through" sharpener on them! We have over 35 years of experience sharpening these knives.  Call us today.
