This is such a terrific idea. I think I’m gonna continue looking into starting up. I work full time already at a job I really enjoy, but I could totally see doing this on the side to make a few extra dollars.
Go for it! You can do it. I’m certain. My accelerator might be worth a look if you’re wanting to run it as a legit business: www.sharpeningaccelerator.com/ $2K/mo profit is my money-back guarantee with the accelerator due to the success I’m seeing with others (and myself lol) Happy sharpening! Hope to hear from you 👋
Ive been sharpening since i was 13, im going on 16 and am wanting to start a little business hopefully to be a big one, this really helped me so now i just gotta gear up and get to making money 😅
You're braver than me to sharpen hair salon scissors. A mediocre pair starts at 1200 bucks and simply dropping them can be disastrous both financially and in word of mouth.
It’s like tying your shoes, once you know how, you know how 🙌 There’s also not one way to do the sharpening hence the different tools out there (whetstone/flathone) You should see the prices the sharpeners I see selling them for and the shops locally 😳 way less than $1200 but you’re completely right, they can be costly and definitely expensive for the business if they are damaged. It’s also part of growing is learning, trying, failing and doing better. You can do it!
I'm about to head to literally buy practice knives eight now, I already own 800 and 1k grit as well as 8k and 11k I believe(something really smooth) and i already know how to sharpen knives in reverse, but not blade forward. Do I buy EVERYTHING here first for an entire shop set up and THEN practice or do I gradually buy more stuff throughout?
I would really like to do this. There is no sharpening business within 30 miles of where I live. I asked several people in my family what they thought about me doing this. Most said that people would either buy a new knife or they would sharpen their own. I am retired but work a full time pizza delivery driver position. Really want to be doing something else. What do you think?
Plenty of options! I would recommend introducing yourself in person & offering a free sample sharpening + a bit of pitching & competitor comparison - I will dive deeper into the strategy over on Patreon sometime very soon.
Thank you for making the video, I know how much time and effort is involved. I have no doubt that you will continue to thrive and I congratulate your success. @@SharperByMichael
Thank you for the video really appreciate it very informative! Do you think a "Work Shark Mk 2.0 " would be good to start with ?Since I already own one.
@@hormigatv5 I am glad you found it helpful 🙌 yes, I’d say 100% and wouldn’t question it. You can make a substantial income from just that one sharpener as a solopreneur. More content soon! 👌
What size belts? I just bought one with both of those attachments. I couldn't sleep last night due to losing job this week (owner sold the company). So, I bought the sharpener, guide and add-on. I'm gonna practice and hopefully be up and running here pretty quickly!
1x18 size belts! You want to purchase the from here shop.currycustomcutlery.com/collections/belts and being that you lost your job (I can understand that completely) I’d like to offer to help get you up and running, smooth & easy. Let me know when you have some time for a call ✊
Great video man, extremely appreciated. I am looking to start this kind of business myself, but i have one simpel question, where do you knife those paper/cardboard knife sheaths?

Hey Michael, I just ordered my sharpening kit and can't wait to get started. One question I have is, how often and how do you know when to replace your abrasives?
@@schuylerbrock give me a shout on Instagram! I can then figure out how I can best serve you. I’m getting ready to start posting feedback from my clients and will be offering a few discounts on services. Chat soon
I just ordered the support because i wasnt able to keep blade parralel to the reference surface. In this video, you are angling the blade from the support. Im confused.
Most post on social media but don’t know how to leverage it to get business & I’d definitely recommend an outreach strategy. Shoot me a message on Instagram or Patreon if you want some help with a strat! 👋
Hey great vid! How would you recommend running this from an apartment building? I live in an apartment building and not sure how a drop off box might work. Is the only way for me to accept knives personally?
