Old Ways Sharpening

Old Ways Sharpening Knife and Tool Sharpening Our belief
We believe in the Old Ways of looking after the things around us that make our lives easier. What we do.
(1)

There used to be an ethos of "built to last" and trusting in the instruments to do the hard work
This is being lost in the modern day of throw away culture. We spend a fortune on wasted time and replacing tired objects when all that is needed is a smaller investment in maintaining. This is where the Old Ways come in. We will take great effort to ensure your tools and blades are brought back to an

incredible level, most often - better than the original condition. We will take your tired, blunt, and worn tools and give them new life. We sharpen and hone to better than factory standard which in turn will allow you to use them with less effort and greater precision. We use highly engineered equipment whilst honouring the Old Way of doing everything by hand to give your tools and equipment a better edge than you imagined.

Well! its been a while!

Lots of Axes, Knives, Garden and Woodworking Tools all reconditioned for good use.

Plenty of investments made into new Naniwa Chosera whetstones for the fixed angle KO3 enabling the perfect precision sharpening of knives and gentlemens folders

A new Robert Sorby pro-edge for that British Made quality and ease of bringing new life into chisels and gouges. Some extra time into the web page with some cheeky merch. www.theoldways.co.uk for a better look!

Some fun to do by hand Japanese knives, a little reprofiling to 'speed up' a few axes and some much needed love for some Marples chisels ... are Just a few examples of whats been keeping me busy since the start of the new year!

Thought I'd treat myself to a new set of stones.

Sharpening by hand is always recommended for high end knives where a machine is likely to ruin an edge geometry and take too much life out of the blade.

Japanese Ceramic stones all the way up to a mirror polishing grit for those choppers that cost more than your average dinner!

Starting at £15 a knife, this only for those serious about their blades.
