I highly recommend this course for anyone wishing to become a professional sharpener.
Matt is a great communicator and teaches the correct way to sharpen everything on several machines. He is extremely knowledgeable and makes the course interesting while explaining everything clearly and in great detail. There was lots of opportunity for hands on practice and he patiently offers helpful support when needed.
I attended training with Robin at UK sharpening school in September 2019. They were able to supply all of the equipment needed as well as comprehensive training.
3 Months later I needed to iron out a few little wrinkles I was having. Robin kindly allowed me to go back and he gave me a couple of hours advice and guidance.
Thank you, Robin. I would recommend you to anyone who is serious about learning the craft of sharpening.
You can buy everything you need for a complete sharpening solution direct from us, there is no requirement to attend training, although it is considered a key element for creating a successful business.
We use all the machines at the training school, so you can see them in action before you decide to buy. When you have decided to buy from us, then you will get an extra layer of protection as we will sort out any warranty issues you may have. We are the sole UK and European warranty centre for both Wolff Industries and Edge Pro products. When you buy from us it’s the same as buying direct from the US, but without the hassle of international postage and import duties.
If you would like us to deliver, install and test your sharpening machines onsite at your location, that can also be arranged.
This is an example list of a good sharpening set up, but that doesn’t mean that you need everything – you can just buy one or two items at a time. If in any doubt please give us a call on 07919 00 6766 or wait until the course and we will answer all your questions.
All of the items are held in stock in limited numbers, if there is anything that you would definitely like, please let us know and we can put it aside for you.
