Russ started sharpening knives in the late 70's. He takes his time and does not burn the blades. He also uses a belt sander as they do in the factories, hand finishing on a steel. He does not use the "MORON MACHINE" as used by most gourmet shops. 

It is all done free hand so he can change the angle on the blade if needed but tries to maintain what is there. A standard non-buffed edge last the longest and this is the edge he puts on most knives. Shun and knives with a buffed edge that feel like a razor edge he can do also, just ask.

Straight razors are done by hand and do take longer so the cost is more. Starting price is $30 and they go up to $45. 

He can also do reed knives also, contact him for pricing as he does a fair amount for the preforming arts members.

Food processor blades and other unusual items contact him first.
