East Coast Eater visits Hammond River Sharpening

Follow: Hammond River Sharpening🙏🙏

Bryan AKA the knife guy did something that I thought wasn’t possible…

This knife was bought in memory of my aunt who passed away in the summer of 2023. She was someone very important to me, she was such a positive influence in my life, and I wanted to buy something that I could use and remind me of her.

Accidents happen…the knife had been knocked off the counter and subsequently broke the tip. I was devastated…

I felt like I had betrayed this the memory of my aunt by not being more careful; that I would have to live with the consequences of my carelessness and that this would be a blemish of her memory.

I didn’t think anyone could fix this…

Honestly I didn’t expect Bryan to even repair it, I thought he would just sharpen it. Bryan sent it back and when I opened it, I was speechless… seeing the tip being repaired and the former edge be brought back…

It felt like relief, joy and elation. I wanted to cry 😭

Give this man your business. It is worth every penny. The care and the attention to detail was spot on.

Thank you again @hammondriversharpening for this beautiful work. Shoutout to @knifewear (not sponsored, just love their stuff) and @ryusen.japan for this beautiful piece of art.
