About Bay Sharpening

For over 30 years, we have been in the sharpening business. During this time we have satisfied a very demanding clientele wanting long lasting and very sharp tools. From the woodworker to the hunter, fisherman and trapper, groommer and machinist, we pride ourselves on great service and our knowledge for sharpening and customer satisfaction.  As we like to say, "why buy new when sharpening your tools will more than do!!".  

For nearly the same number of years, we have carried the Wusthoff Trident line of knives for the discerning buyer, as our product of choice.  Considered one of the best brand of knives in the world, Wusthoff have been making knives for over 200 years.  More telling is that they are still family owned.  Visit their product line.

For some time now, we have been listening to a large and frustrated niche in the food industry on the knife rental services available to them. We have been listening and feel confident that we are ready to supply Sudbury with an  affordable knife program providing long lasting sharp knives with the best
customer service available.

Why us?

EDUCATION
We will take the time to educate staff on the proper care of our knives and maintenance of blades in between regular visits.

SUPERIOR QUALITY - SUPERIOR PRODUCT

The knives will stay sharper longer increasing productivity and reducing potential injuries.
Your establishment will need to carry fewer knives, reducing costs. With fewer knives the frequency of sharpening could increase with little change in the overall costs for the service.
CONVENIENCE & CUSTOMER SERVICE

We are Sudbury based and no more than 20 minutes should you need us. Tailored times, days and frequency of sharpening are available to you. We will work around your schedule, not ours. If your restaurant is open, we are always available to you.

REDUCED COST

Fewer knives – reduced sharpening costs
Better knives – higher productivity, less injuries
Better moral – higher productivity
Affordable cost – knives needing to be replaced due to being lost or stolen will be charged back
at our costs plus 20% across the board

Finding Treasures 
in the Family Shed

There was a time not too long ago, that most house and garden tools such as knives, scissors, axes, shovels, and spades were rugged, well made, sharpened regularly, and lasted for years, if not a lifetime. In the era of physical labour, these tools were coveted and taken care of.

With the advent of modern technology, we now have an endless selection and supply of products and price points. Regrettably however, access to poor quality implements appears to be the biggest buying trend. These tools are most often made of poor quality steel, poorly designed and so cheaply made that replacing them annually or when dull, is a common practice. Today, stores shelves are stacked and stocked with plastic packaging of disposable products. These products generally don’t work very well, or last very long, before being thrown out.

With another growing season around the corner, we wanted to share our thoughts with maybe a little wisdom. After 30 years of sharpening, I think we are qualified to offer our opinions:
  • Sharp tools are safer, make the task easier, which usually means finishing the job sooner, not injured, and a little less tired. Quality steel has better metal characteristics, meaning sharper edges with better and longer lasting edge retention.
  • Better steel means your tools stay sharper longer, with longer intervals between sharpening.
  • Sharpening is extremely beneficial and affordable compared to throwing away and buying new time after time. Sharpening is a fraction of the cost of replacing. Knowing that you can sharpen your tools and save money, allows for buying higher quality tools.

Every day, we hear of the environmental crisis we face. From global warming, plastics in our oceans, and so many pollution issues. Consider all of the above when making your next purchase or throwing something else away.

We titled our little rant today, as Finding Treasures in the Family Shed, as garden sheds, garages, cottages, basements and yard sales may yet be hiding some of the old tools from the past. Most of these treasures are now covered in rust and may not have been used in years, or considered their value until now. Not only do we sharpen, but we also refurbish and restore when possible! Most if not all of these gardening tools can be cleaned up, oiled and sharpened to once again work like new. Most will even outperform other tools available today.

See you soon!
