After thirty years on Lasalle
Finding treasures in the family shed
There was a time not long ago that most house and garden tools were rugged, well made, sharpened regularly, and lasted for years, if not a lifetime.
Today the shelves are stacked with disposable products, made of poor steel and so cheaply built that replacing them when they go dull is common practice. After thirty years of sharpening, I think we are qualified to offer an opinion: sharp tools are safer, make the task easier, and usually mean finishing sooner, not injured, and a little less tired.
Why buy new when sharpening your tools will more than do?
Sheds, garages, cottages and yard sales may yet be hiding some of the old tools from the past, most covered in rust, most not used in years. We do not only sharpen. We refurbish and restore when we can.

What customers say
“I brought a Finnish knife in yesterday. I was only expecting a sharpening and a clean-up of the nicks. The quality of the work, and the fact that you took the time to polish up the brass, was a really impressive and generous gesture.”

“Brought in my Japanese knife last minute, Marc sharpened it in front of me. It was ready in minutes and the quality was excellent. I also didn’t have to spend a fortune.”
Nicolas Lacroix
“Live in Ottawa and got a complete Wusthof set from Bays 18 years ago. I shipped them back and they were returned razor sharp. They even gave me tips on how to maintain them.”
Alex Bender
“I’m a dog groomer from Providence Bay and don’t mind traveling to Sudbury for the amazing work. Thank you so much for the great service.”
