Always looking for new locations to do a popup event!
I usually work right out the van and return them right away but these were for a friend. I took them home to try a couple new techniques.
A lovely summer day in 2024 right after I got the new vinyl decals on the side of the van.

Google Maps review from Andrew
John spent the extra time grinding the hilt of my chefs knife down so that it would match the level of the blade. The knife works much better now!
Thanks for the review! I'm working on updating my pricing page and I'll mention that these kind of minor profile repairs are always included in the base price.

Google Maps review from Josiah
… He accepted me as a walk-up and was happy for the challenge of taking on these knives! He did a fantastic job and now these knives are rapidly becoming my new favorites! Thanks John!!! I'll see you next time!
Thanks for the awesome review! With carbon steel I add a pass on 2000 grit silicon carbide and that seems to be just the thing. Glad to revitalize some knives!
