My Mom just got me the book and it is INCREDIBLE! I am disabled and unfortunately my medical issues have me currently unable to work most regular jobs. I enjoy sharpening and have been learning to use my Wicked Edge from Kyle’s UA-cam channel and this book is incredibly comprehensive! Thank you for writing this book!!!!
Just finished your book. Really well written and very comprehensive. Really appreciate it.
Great video!! I’ve been self employed now for 30 years as a contractor doing a variety of traders over the years. As I move into my years mid 60’s and my body is showing signs of wear I am researching sharpening . I have been sharping my knives, chisels, planes, chainsaws, drill bits etc...for many years however I see that I will need to up my game in order to do sharpening for money. My gut tells me that this is a possible means to pad our budget without the full blown commitment 12 months a year to my business that I’ve been living with for 30 years, for myself and many retirement is not a paid experience and living is costly. I don’t want to drive a school bus, or work retail....sharpening could be the ticket.
$1,000 a month doesn’t even scratch the surface of this fantastic simple business. I’ve made that in a single day. Not every day but one day I did (over 70 knives.) I regularly make it per week and often more than that in a week. Sometimes much more.
Congrats Kyle! Super stoked for you.
I hear you man, my day job covers the bills but doesn't leave anything left over. My sharpening business has changed our lives. Plenty of opportunity out there too. Congrats on publishing your book!
Bought the Ebook last night boss, I’m very happy this popped up on my YT feed last night. Been talking to some buddies on sharpening their work knives.
Thanks Kyle for writing this book and laying out the basics for starting up a sharpening business. I had been thinking about a business that I could do going into retirement. I like knives and had been looking at different sharpening systems on the internet. I happen to see your 4 minute sharpening test video. That video led me to this video and your book. I am so glad it did. The different aspects of a sharpening service start up are touched upon but it was the quality of care for the knife and customer service that stood out to me.
This would be cool to fox out of the back of one of those newer vans with the stand up area . I know a locksmith who makes all his stuff in the back of his van . Makes a good buck as a locksmith
Thanks for this information!
just found your channel, thanks! I've had a wicked edge just sitting on my shelf, waiting for only my knives....
Bought the book, Kindle version. Good read, game me some ideas.
Kyle,
Just ordered at Amazon. It's gotta be easier and cheaper than opening a restaurant.
How Do get your book?
I've made it most of the way through the book. You've presented a lot of very helpful information. Do I understand correctly that you don't sharpen serrated knives? If so, how often does this present an obstacle for your customers? Most kitchen knife sets seem to have at least a bread knife, if not also a set of steak knives.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. I have a passion for knives and have been learning how to sharpen. I have a KME and a Worksharp Ken Onion with the blade grinding attachment. Coworkers have been asking me to sharpen their knives and I am getting better and more confident. I will order your book when available. Is your method Wicked Edge based? Or does it work with and do you talk about other sharpening systems in your book? Thank you
Can it become a full time job? What are your thoughts on scaling it?
Kyle, I'm in Australia, my Wicked Edge Gen 3 is on the way, how can I get hold of your book?
I see your book is sold out. Is there a timeframe on getting new stock in?
