The Keenhask bench
Useful things deserve
another turn.
A favorite knife does not have to be a fancy knife. It just has to work for the person holding it.
Start with the tool in front of us.
Keenhask is a small sharpening bench for the things that do everyday work. We look at the edge, listen to what has changed and explain what sharpening can do.
We work a piece at a time. If a bent blade, loose pivot or deep chip changes the job, we stop and agree on the work with you first. Sometimes the right answer is to leave a tool as it is.
If something about our workmanship feels off, bring the piece back so we can take a look together.
