These Global knives show the before and after of cutting edges. They both looked sharp when I took them in, but look closely at the before, you can see a burr, micro chips and an uneven edge of the blade, where the after is perfectly apexed, and an even cutting edge throughout. #Sharpening #EastKent

Christmas can be such a busy time, why not make your food preparation quicker and easier, and get your knives sharpened. #Christmas #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

I ground out a knife blade, and today finished it off. Not sure about it's temper, just wanted to see if it would work. #STiRWoodcraft #SpoonHippy #SpoonPunk #CarvedWithLoveAndCare #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay #KnifeMaking

My personal kitchen knives, are looking nice, and definitely cutting well. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Conversations with customers are important, on items like these, make the cutting edge more ergonomic or leave charm and historical value. We went for the latter, wicked sharp. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Hey folks, I'm going to be at Wye near Ashford on Wednesday, if you want kitchen knives, garden tool, or household scissors sharpened drop by and see me, I can do chisels and other tools but they will have to be towards the end of my session. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #Ashford #Wye

Sunday the 12th I'll be at Herne Bay Market #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

A customer brought in these wonderful knives, they are Pallarès Solsona Inox knives, they have a lovely convex taper along not only the length of the blade, but also from the spine to the cutting edge. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef

When I received these shears they were seized up, and after they made the beautiful cutting noise of properly working shears. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Tickled one of these gorgeous Niwaki Hori Hori tools yesterday, sharpened the serrated teeth, reset the cutting edge and tip, and thinned out the width of the handle. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Two gorgeous pair of shears. The one on the left is how I took them in. The one on the right is how they went back. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Really nice post about these scissors I sharpened earlier today. #Scissors #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

New tools that I modded to be carving axes. Tidied up the grind from the forging, re-ground the cutting edge to 30°, and lightly faceted the handles. Now, it's time to test edge retention. #STiRWoodcraft #SpoonHippy #SpoonPunk #SpoonDisruptor #CarvedWithLoveAndCare #SeansSharpening #Sharpening

Today I shall mostly be restoring choppers. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Beautiful Drop Forged Shears that I worked on today. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Lovely Elwell billhook, this took a lot to clean, serious amount of rust, a blown out spine (probably from hammering), chips removed and tidied up the convex edge. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Gorgeous pair of hand shears, from 1920s, freshly sharpened even got the original tin closure tap, to help protect the edges when in storage. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #Chef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

32cm cooking spoons from poplar. I have started selling my spoons ( @stir-woocraft.bsky.social ) from my sharpening van, and as people purchase more cooking spoons than eating spoons, I have decided that to prioritise making cooking spoons, teaspoons and utensils for the rest of the year.

Cleaned up this beautiful cleaver, tidied up the spine, removed the rust from the body, and sharpened with a convex grind. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

It's always useful to have a Multi-Tool in this game, I purchased this for my youngest son, who is honing his sharpening skills. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Lovely morning at Minster Abbey Ramsgate , sharpening tools for the nuns. And what a delightful building and grounds, some parts have been their over 1350 years 😲. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Went to Tilmanstone Boot Fair yesterday. Picked up these items to restore and sell on. #STiRWoodcraft #SpoonHippy #SpoonPunk #SpoonDisruptor #SpoonAndTreen #SpoonCarving #CarvedWithLoveAndCare #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Next weekends markets #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Started the day off, sharpening this set of Global knives and a lovely Japanese paper steel blade. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

This week, I have three days in set places. If you need your kitchen knives, garden tools, scissors, or almost anything else, bring them along to me. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

This style of knife is often considered (by many) to be too cheap to sharpen. Let me assure you these blades take a superb edge, and you won't be disappointed getting them done. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Had these lovely secateurs brought to me this weekend, they needed a rub down and a shiatsu, and now they're shiny and slicey. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

As a mobile sharpener, I'm always looking out for items related to my craft. This plate was purchased years ago. From a series called "Cries of London" titled "Knives, Scissors, and Razors to Grind." #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

I'm at Deal Saturday Market this week. Then next week its time with my Spoon Family at Spoontown. So I won't be at Deal on the 26th or Cliftonville on the 27th. Normal service should return next month. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

I have some pre-owned garden tools that I have sharpened, cleaned, and oiled. Secateurs from £7.50 Lawn edgers for £15 Loppers for £15 Garden Claw for £15 #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

It's not often I get photos of myself working, but yesterday Thomas dropped over with a few greenwood oddities for me to sharpen. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

I will be at Spoontown to sharpen your tools. Whether it's reground, rust removal, or just a little work, see me and I can get them back into working shape. Greenwood or general woodworking, gardening tools, or just kitchen knives. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #SharpenedWithLoveAndCare

As some of you know, I had an accident a few weeks back, and needed some time off recovering. This weekend just gone was my first days back, and I'm glad to say they went well. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Sorry folks, due to a personal incident, I won't be sharpening for at least a week maybe two. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

I love curios and oddities. In it's former life, this firefighters tool was probably used to save people, now the owner uses it as a gardening tool, and I can imagine how useful something like this would be. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

At Deal Saturday Market this morning, sharpened the knives for Heatonomy, in exchange I got these. Looking forward to trying them out tonight. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Was over sharpening tools for Canterbury Archaeological Trust yesterday. If you use tools for digging, trust me, they could probably be made better by sharpening them. #Archeology #History #Dig #Archeologist #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #Allotmemt #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Blean

Business as usual for me at @deal_town Saturday Market today, just not in my usual spot. I'm on the same side, just further up. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Love these tiny old shears. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Had a couple more recommendations from customers. This kind of feedback is truly appreciated and heartwarming. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Allotmemt #CommunityGarden #Gardening #Thanet #Canterbury #Dover #Deal #Ashford #HerneBay

Had a call from Mrs Nam at the Thai Village Restaurant in Westwood Cross to sharpen their knives I arrived to an epic amount (this is just over half), took me just under 4 hours. #SeansSharpening #Sharpening #EastKent #ProfessionalKitchen #YesChef #Thanet
