Thank you all for your business and support in 2024, and for helping me get through a tough year healthwise.

A couple of days back from hols and I'm already inventing new things.

Introducing the FURMINATOR. Borne out of necessity, but mostly after being hounded by Mrs. Simply Sharp to do something about the vast amounts of pink fur I take into the house on my clothes every time I'm in the workshop.

And after we spent a whole 9 hours deep cleaning the workshop in our holidays last week, I came up with this. A Test cutting booth. So far so good, or shoukd that be so FUR so good 😄.

A wee reminder the workshop will be closed from Saturday 27th July and opening as normal on Monday 12th August. Some much needed R &R is required.

Had to create another of my hi-tech tools as the original has”disappeared”.

All hail the new Tensionometer.

A simple but effective tool.

Saturday morning in the workshop sharpening blades while listening to old school rock. Some days are just plain good.

How many of your enjoy music while working ?

I’ve got a lovely bunch of … knives to sharpen this afternoon.

A rather unusual job today. I had these endgrain carving chisels in for a sharpen. Tricky do to but rewarding when done.

There is art in everything we do. Here’s some “Clip Art” from my workbench today.

Dog groomer or sharpeners should be able to identify these.

Pop along to Deveron Projects Winter Warmer on Saturday. I'll be hosting a wee workshop demonstrating sharpening garden tools as well as offering gardening tool sharpening as part of the event. So bring those secatuers and garden shears along.

It’s that time again. Plate flip day.

I was starting to get a few inconsistencies and the number of blades sharpened on this wheel was very similar to last time. So it’s time to flip. This is to ensure a consistent quality.

Now if only I could do the same with myself when I’m getting rundown and worn out !

I saw this beautiful autumnal arrangement today and just had to take a photo. It was part of the salon wide decor created by Alan at The Loft, Inverness. I love theses additional creative outlets that people have.

You may have noticed that I’ve been a little quite recently. This is due to undergoing medical treatment in July which has left me very fatigued and I’m only just starting to get back to things now.

I’ve had to postpone and reschedule quite a lot of customer visits in July and August. I’ve contacted the majority of you, and should be in touch with my remaining customers within the next 2 -3 weeks with rescheduled dates.

If you haven’t heard from me , or you'd like confirmation of new dates , please get in touch and I'll advise.

Thank you for your patience, I really appreciate all the support you give me.

Even when I’m not sharpening, sharpening surrounds me. At Inverness tonight.

It’s a very rare occasion when you can sharpen outside in the sunshine in Scotland. So I’m making the most of it.

I've only a few clients who use these Aescaulap blades, and those who do absolutely love them.

As a sharpener I can see why. They glide through any coat much smoother that most A5 blades, they are easy to clean and they are relatively straightforward to sharpen (once you figure them out).

The only downside is that the clipper is a single speed so may not suit those who clip very quickly.

If you need yours sharpened, get in touch.

I do like a splurge of colour and these newly arrived fluro pink blade guides are definitely colourful.

Behind the scenes.

These are some of the parts we sharpeners need to make your clipper blades cut cleanly and smoothly. It all looks nice and clean, but can get real messy when in full workflow.

Two of the best ways to destroy the edge on your knives are to use a pull through sharpening device, and to put them in the dishwasher. I recently received a set of knives which had been treated like this for several years. I was able to repair the damage and my customer was absolutely over the moon. Checkout the before and after in the video below. Dave @ Simply Sharp

It’s always good to get this type of reaction when a customer tries out their newly sharpened scissors.

Don’t often see these in the Uk. A scissors and thinners combined. Specialist skills to use and specialist skills to sharpen.

Get your wood chipper and garden shredder blades sharpened to as good as new. Message or phone Dave@Simply Sharp. Mobile 07 57 27 11 543
