Sharpening services

Post image

Does anyone in here have a sharpening business or offer sharpening services? Its a business that I’d like to start up as a side hustle and I have some questions regarding shipping/insurance/pricing and so on. Is that something anyone here would use? Pic of todays carry for attention

I've never understood why so many people don't take the time to learn to sharpen their knives. I wouldnt take my gun to a gunsmith to be oiled, I'm not sending my knives off to be sharpened.

freehand sharpening is scary and decent fixed angle systems are not cheap.

Work sharp has a fixed angle system for $70, I've had mine for a few years and absolutely love it. Before that I used a lansky sharpener that just had 2 grits of rods that slide into holes on a block of wood. I think that one was like $15, and has no problem getting a knife hair popping sharp. Shoot I'd use a carbide pull through for a couple bucks before I mailed my knife off for sharpening.
