"You need not go anyway else for your sharpening needs. Scott is the best in his business and you can't beat the price. Best part of it is he comes to you."

"Scott & Sharp-N-It is highly recommended for all your sharpening needs. I have used many knife services in my 35 years as a Chef and Scott is as good as they come and definitely the most reasonable at $2 per knife."


Dave:


"My highest recommendation to those that appreciate a professional edge. Customer service, integrity, knowledge, all at value pricing. I have cut thousands of steaks for restaurants and only trust Scott to care for knives."


Henry:


"I called Scott from Sharpnit after a great experience about a year ago. We coordinated our schedules, after some phone tag, Scott was very accomodating, and he came to my house on a Saturday, we had him sharpen several knives, lawnmower blade, edger blade, prunning shears, and then my neighbors came out, and had knives and shears to be sharpened, Scott had cut himself earlier in the day, and rather than cancel, he kept his committment to his business! The job he did is not only quick, but incredibly good, as the blades are super-sharp! One of my neighbors cut his finger trying out one of the knife blades! I only have great things to say about Scott and his service he offers. You will be VERY pleased with his services for any sharpening needs you have!"

All knives lose their edge over time, even if you use a sharpening steel on a regular basis. Periodic sharpening by professionals will ensure that your knives have the proper angle and will help the blades maintain their edge longer.


Sharpening Facts


Knives are sharpened by grinding against a hard rough surface, typically stone, or a soft surface with hard particles, such as sandpaper. Sandpaper is a form of paper where an abrasive material has been fixed to its surface.Sandpaper is part of the "coated abrasives" family of abrasive products. It is used to remove small amounts of material from surfaces, either to make them smoother , to remove a layer of material.

For finer sharpening, a leather razor strop, or strop, is often used. The smaller the angle between the blade and stone, the sharper the knife will be, but the less side force is needed to bend the edge over or chip it off. Very sharp knives sharpen at about 10 degrees (which implies that the knife's edge is a 20-degree angle). Typical knives are sharpened at 15 degrees. Knives that require a tough edge (such as those that chop) sharpen at 20 degrees or more. For an extremely durable edge (such as a chisel or drawknife), blades can be sharpened to 30 degrees. In general, but not always, the harder the material to be cut the higher the angle of the edge.

The composition of the stone affects the sharpness of the blade (finer grain produces sharper blades), as does the composition of the blade (some metals take and keep an edge better than others).
