With all my gratitude, I am thankful for having people like you creating a service. I'm still practicing how to sharpening knives, serrated blades, and scissors. Soon I hope to make knife sharpening business/service a part time job very soon. My story behind on how I got into knife sharpening. It was during the weekend few months back when my brother due to his erratic somber behavior started to destroy my beloved santoku knife until it became dull. My mom noticed how dull my knives were and she taught me how to sharpen a kitchen knife I really got into it. Also my dad was a chief before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease nine years back. It was convenient for us to have assortment of sharpening stones for me to practice my knife sharpening skills. Then few days passed, I had Haganezuka-san a protagonist from the anime "Demon Slayer" popped up into my dream and said I should start running a knife sharpening business. So that's how I got into knife sharpening overall, but with finger's crossed I hope to make it into a real job very soon.

I'm the guy that helped Steve get started in April. Super cool to see how wells he's doing! I'm sharpening in Tulsa OK

Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. They are a big help.

Thanks for sharing these stories and systems PG. Got me thinking bigger.

I hope you enjoyed your holiday, I have been waiting for you you to re-turn and post this installment,...the wait was 100% worth it GREAT vid

Excellent series. I was a chef in Aspen, and I miss the knife sharpening guy and his van coming around once a month. Not only did the restaurant pay him the the business knives, but the whole staff would bring knives from home. Where I live now, there's no one!

Great video, my new Ken Onion sharpener should arrive tomorrow.

steve has such a unique voice, I instantly recognized him lol

Wondering what the belt sander is, that Steve is using?

good video

Thank you for your most informative channel. What is the brand of the belt sander used in the second of you starting a business video? Is it a modified Kalamazoo?

You sharpened a couple of my knives at the farmers market years back you did a great job where are you located during this period?

How did you power your sharpeners? What did you use when you were at farmers markets?

So when starting can I just use freehand wet stones seams cheaper then all the powered stuff I was told by the chef who I worked for only sharpen your knife on a machine.this is a skill I would like to do but not a good time to be start a business

I just got contacted by my local farmers market. I am very interested in the trailer build. Can you by chance show a build breakdown? I am currently looking into a trailer.

Can you please tell us what make/model of belt sander that Steve has on his table?

I’m a little surprised. I thought a tormek or something similar like the wen would be what enables sharpening but none of your videos highlighted use of the tormek at all in deference to sanding and polishing wheels. Is the tormek of no use in a sharpening business? I had no idea sanding was preferred method.

Lol. You retire comfortably then decide to spend 20K on show designs…just to unseat young sharpeners who are trying to make a living and raise a family. Same story in my town too. Feel good about greed, I say.
