I am taking knives and scissors for drop-off sharpening at 89 Barre St Montpelier. Turn-around time is usually same day, or next day depending on drop-off time and quantity. Prices vary depending on dullness, type, and chips. Roughly $1.25-1.50 an inch. Minimum is $15 per order, so bring at least a couple knives. I give a discount for large batches of 8 knives or more.

Bring knives wrapped in a kitchen towel or newspaper, for safety. "Rocket Leathercraft" sign indicates you're in the right place! I sharpen on a whetstone wheel, polish on paper, and hone on leather. I also hand sharpen on a Japanese stone under special circumstances such as Japanese knives or by request. $2-$3 an inch.

Email or text me to schedule a time ensures faster turn-around time. Morning drop-off most likely results in afternoon/eve pick-up. I text or email when ready.

My summer leather shop hours are typically Wednesdays and Fridays 10-4:30 (out for lunch 1-2pm), and Sat. 10-2. But please know I can work around other days and times - I also garden for folks so when I don't have shop work, I have garden work. (I like being busy!). So if you say: "What about Monday at noon?"... I say "great! See you then!"

Vacation notice: I'll be camping and paddling to my hearts content from the 25th of August until Sept 1 - so get your knives done now or reach out again in September!
