Owner

KnifePro Knife Sharpening And Sales
07.2004 - 10.2009

Knife Pro, a mobile knife sharpening service that sharpened your knives at your kitchen door. It was not an exchange service. With an imported Italian factory-quality knife sharpening machine, I sharpened, honed and repaired chef knives right outside your door. This was a unique service and because of the high-quality sharpening machine, I was able to sharpen all grades of knives. From cheaper, exchange knives to high-quality German, Swiss, American and Japanese knives.

I also sold all kinds of smallwares and kept hundreds of items stocked inside my van. Everyday kitchen items such as turners, spatulas, tongs, mandolins, peelers, etc. Knives ranging from paring knives to chef knives including: boning knives, carving knives, bread knives, fillet knives and more. I represented 21 knife manufacturers including: Wusthof, Dexter Russell, Victorinox, Mac Knife, Global, Kyocera, Mundial, Tramontina, Kuhn Rikon, and more. I addition, I took your orders and delivered your purchases right to your doorstep while saving you shipping charges. I sold my company to Hub Grinding of Walpole in 2010.
