Just a reminder to get your Turkey Knife sharp for Xmas Day.
I bet there will be more than just one meat on the table, and don’t forget to use a wooden block if possible to prolong a sharp edge. Call me to arrange a service I am nearly full with one weekend to go before Santa slides down your chimney.
All comments from social media FB & local advertising, Thank you to all my customers who have commented on my work.
Great Service, really happy with my scissors.

I was searching for somewhere locally to get my dressmakers scissors sharpened, but everywhere seems to send them off and they take a few weeks to be returned. Luckily I came across Stone Sharp who was very accommodating – I was able to drop my scissors off in the evening and pick them up in the morning, and all for the same price as the other places I’d looked at. I can’t fault the work, my scissors were perfect first time and I didn’t have to wait for them.
Thank you very much!

Rob has been doing scissors and blades for my job for ages, but I decided to do a review after he sharpened my kitchen knives. I got them off my sister years ago second hand and I have just been doing them myself but it got to a point I was going to throw them especially as one even had a broken tip. But im thrilled. They are all super sharp and they now just glide through everything. You wouldn’t even know that one was broken beforehand.
Ashlie, Tidworth, 18 June 17.*****
First time I have used Rob, first class job, 2 pairs shears and mower blade. Super fast service and communication. Unhesitatingly recommend.

Just to clarify any confusion on using a steel on your knives I have added this for information as I tend to get asked this on frequent occasions, I will sharpen your blade by removing some of the steel to create a bevelled edge.
The naming (“honing” or “sharpening”) is often a misnomer, because the traditional “honing steel” neither hones nor sharpens a blade. Instead, its function is to realign a curled edge rather than remove metal from the edge. The term “hone” is associated with light maintenance performed on a blade without the effort and precision normally associated with sharpening, so the name “hone” was loaned. In the 1980s, ceramic abrasives became increasingly popular, and proved an equal, if not superior, method for accomplishing the same daily maintenance tasks; manufacturers replaced steels with ceramic (and later, manufactured diamond abrasive) sharpening “steels” that were, in fact, hones.
Lets do laymans terms:
Hone with a steel will straighten the edge (micro effect) to effectively feel sharp again but will eventually dull (round off the edge) with time and use.
Only a professional sharpen will remove some of the metal (slow wet grind) to create bevelled edges to become sharp again.

If you use knives or scissors on a daily basis you are vulnerable to R. S. I. (repetitive strain injuries) and C. P. S. (carpel tunnel syndrome).
Keeping your knives and scissors sharp will greatly reduce your chances of developing these conditions and generally make your job a whole lot easier, a blunt knife is far more dangerous than a sharp one as you unnecessarily need to force the tool to cut!
