Quality craftsmanship ~ Modern processes ~ Environmentally friendly

Welcome to Sean’s Sharpening, the professional mobile sharpening service serving East Kent.

Quality knives and tools are expensive and with a little regular maintenance they will last a lifetime, but they become blunt with regular use. What do you do when they’ve lost their edge?

You call Sean

I’ll have your knives and tools beautifully sharp again in no time, just contact me, get your quote and I’ll come to you.

It’s very simple!

Sean’s Sharpening Journey...?

I sharpened my first pocket knife aged 8 under the tutelage of my father.

In the early 90s I worked as a cabinet maker, building furniture and maintaining the workshops tools.

Since then I have worked in many industries where tool maintenance is key, such as a chef in kitchens, woodland management, bushcraft and survival instructor.

For the last decade I have taught green woodworking, woodland management and spoon carving.

All these jobs have their own sharp tools with specific requirements on edge maintenance, giving me experience with then all.

What can I do for you…?

I run a mobile sharpening service in East Kent, I have regular rounds in the area so I am usually available inside a day or so.

My vehicle is a fully equipped sharpening workshop and my equipment runs on solar power so it’s very environmentally friendly.

I use a Sorby Pro Edge belt linisher, grinding wheels, polishing wheels, diamond, oil and traditional water stones, leather strops, cleaners and lubricants to ensure your knives and tools are perfectly prepared, sharpened, cleaned and oiled.
