Sharpening services
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please include your name & contact details with your securely packaged/wrapped blades. email bookings@glitteringedge.com
We use whetstones and diamond stones to sharpen your blades by hand. The only time where a machine may be involved is if your blade has seen heavy use or has sustained damage or is a longer or more awkwark blade type such as swords. After the initial repair on the machine, the rest of the blade is sharpened and honed by hand on various grades of stone
Turnaround time will depend on quantity of bookings and when drop-off appointments are arranged for as well as condition of your blade. We cannot guarantee a same-day turnaround but we will endeavour to do so where possible.
Double edged blades (daggers and similar) as well as tools (as opposed to domestic or EDC blades) may be priced differently
November 2024– Currently changing the sharpening service setup – this is likely now to be certain Thursdays with very limited capacity.
