**Announcement** Due to a recent large influx of work as well as the overall stress of this year that everyone has experienced, I will be stopping sharpening service dropoff at the end of this week until the new year. It's been a rough year for everyone and this holiday season is as good an excuse as any to slow down. Thank you to everyone who has kept me busy using my services to keep your tools sharp! The picture is of me and a quick setup I used for a trip to visit family ...in the Caribbean before the pandemic hit. Certainly less stressful times. See you in the new year.

My name is Andrew, welcome to The Focused Edge! I have over 10 years of experience sharpening by hand and shaving with straight razors. I'm pleased to offer sharpening services utilizing my experience, skill, and knowledge.

Most hair scissors come in with pivot areas like the first pic. It's just a byproduct of your hard work. No judgement, that's why I'm here. I clean every pair of hair scissors I work on and oil them to restore that glide. No point in sharp blades with a gunky clogged pivot causing resistance. . . . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . #sharp #sharpening #scissors #hairscissors #barbertools #sharpeningservice #scissorsharpening #abbotsfordbc See more

Shun Pro Yanagi repair from last month. Customer got it back from a different service with a recurve and a bevel on the back. Just because they sell it to you doesn't mean they understand how to sharpen it properly. Fixed the profile and the uraoshi, thinned, and polished. . . . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sharp #yanagi #chefknife #chefknives #kitchenknife #kitchenknives #knifesharpening #knifesharpeningservice #japanesechefknife #japaneseknives #sushi #sashimi #kniferepair @ Abbotsford, British Columbia See more

Don't chuck that dull bread knife! Even when the serrations are basically gone like this one, I can still bring them back. Obviously, it's more involved than regular sharpening, but if you have a nice or favourite bread knife it's definitely worth it. #sharpenrepairrevive . . . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #abbotsfordbc #sharpening #baking #chefknife #sharp #breadmaking #sharpeningservice #kitchenknife @ Abbotsford, British Columbia See more

Generally, if a post here has an actually well done photo it was taken by my wife @sarabethphotos, talented photographer, deeply loyal and supportive partner, and my greatest love. Not many people would be this okay with all the stones and sharp edges all over our home. She helps me, supports me, and lifts me up everyday. Here's to sharp tools and the sharp woman who helps me make it happen.
