Your neighbourhood sharpener

Clifford running on a dirt path beside a vineyard.

Hi! I'm Clifford, a recovering lawyer, local dad, avid ultramarathoner and lifelong craftsperson.

I've welded custom bicycle frames, built fine furniture, remodeled houses, soldered electronics, and installed steel roofs. I've also won court cases, taught hundreds of legal professionals, and built technology for Canada's largest tribunal.

Even as the work has differed, my approach has always been the same: care deeply about the details, make ordinary things beautiful, and obsess over how the next person will experience the work.

That's the approach I bring to your knives and tools. I'd love to be able to work on them for you!
