Starting Knife Sharpening Business

[keo]

Hello. Looking to the community for thoughts and comments on using my T1 to start a small knife sharpening table at a local farmer's market. What would you charge per knife? Do you think it worth it. Goal is to keep it small. No interest in growing big. Thank you.

The T1 is an excellent choice for sharpening your standard kitchen knife. The diamond wheel and composite hone will give you more than satisfactory knives of any hardness.

On the down side it will not handle specialty knives. You are pretty much limited to standard shape knives. You may find you loose custom to sharpeners who offer a wider range of services. You will also not be able to repair chips or breaks. These take additional equipment.

If simply sharpening your standard kitchen knife is what you are after then the T1 is ideal.

As for price google knife sharpeners in your area and see what the going rate is.
