Slipat Skellefteå

Hunting season is here! Fun times for me as I get to see a lot of fine craftmanship.

It's also pruning season for many. Secateurs, loppers and hedge trimmers are also welcome 😉.

A very common problem on many knives I see.
Uneven blade profile caused by uneven maintenance and/or sharpening. Whatever tool you're using for blade maintenance/sharpening, make sure you adress the entire edge as evenly as possible.

Some knives and mandoline blades from Restaurang Mandel and Restaurang Paolos Skellefteå now sharp again.

Final week of summer before the kids go back to school and normal routines kick in. Turnaround will be a bit longer upcoming week.

Fine hunting knives with beautiful handles. These were well kept.

Next week I will take a bit of vacation, so the shop will be closed aug 1-8.

Sista chansen för vasst innan helgen: Lämna in senast kl 16 idag fredag 😉. Därefter blir det upp till en veckas väntetid.

Always fun to be entrusted edges from local chefs!
Thanks for letting me tune up your gear.
Keep up the good work at La Cena and Kork vinbar!

Paper cutters are also welcome for a dose of sharp 😉

Yearly service of mower blades from Skellefteå Discgolf. 🥏

Probably the sturdiest edges I sharpen. 6 mm steel and well used in industrial mowers = requires a healthy bit of controlled grinding to get them back into shape 😅
Of course balanced on the cone too. Unbalance in any rotating blade is something that is paramount to avoid to prevent vibrations that will be detrimental to both user and machine alike.

A quite common and decently balanced family of knives from this customer 😉.

A sturdy german chef knife for heavier tasks, accompanied by a thin Japanese dito for more delicate work. An allround Victorinox and a paring knife for smaller tasks. Finished off with an outdoor hunting knife for when one ventures into the woods.
