Nick the Knife 7/18
Nick the Knife will be back this coming Saturday for all your sharpening needs !
Below his ponderings , prices and such :
I spent a few days asking friends about what they think is a good way...and it's basically what I thought too.
It's to sharpen while customers wait. Ican put a wood carton near my table...folks put their stuff in the box...I'll take it out(masked of course...perhaps with a paint respirator)....and sharpen it...then disinfect with alcohol spray...and put it back in the box for their pick up..and I'll leave a can for their money or check. Ill use hand sanitizer between batches..every time I start a new customer...
Prices are still $1.25 per blade inch...i.e...an 8" blade is $10...$6 minimum on knives. I do serrated knives, japanese knives (expertly) and garden tools. Scissors are $6 to $12...most at the low end fancier ones more. Garden tools: Clippers, loppers, shears 10-$12 Snips-felcos $6-$8 Mower blades (thick double ended steel $15 each. Rotary push mowers...$30 (they are tricky and time consuming-require complex sharpening of multi blades) Shovels, trowels $10, scythes.....mmm well $12 - $20...Grim Reaper gets a discount. I'm thinking the weekend after this upcoming weekend..in 9 days on saturday...If you think that's good...fine. If you want me to do it later Ok too..I ain't exactly booked (my MY markets are happening but NY state guidelines don't permit artisans! I will also have some of those great asian carbon steel knives...my Sheng Fuiee all purpose razor sharp Chef's Slave Helper knives at $75 each...and perhaps a small version 5" long too. Talk soon...sorry for my slow response I think I have an OK method worked out...stay safe you two (wont even get into our horrible national insanity)....look forward to being at the market, fond regards, Nick (the knife!)....Bring you dull and tired knives and tools to NICK THE KNIFE for the Kindest Cut Of All !!!
