A Cut above the rest
A motor-cycle-mounted-at-your-door knife sharpening service.
Throughout my life, I've harbored a passion for craftsmanship and manual labor. While a career in woodworking didn't materialise, my leisure hours have been enriched by pursuits such as motorcycle and bicycle maintenance and riding. Approximately two decades ago, an individual who operated a mobile knife and tool sharpening service, stationed at the rear of his motorcycle, approached me with an offer to collaborate. Initially hesitant, I eventually embraced the opportunity, undergoing apprenticeship under his guidance.
After a period of joint work, I ventured out independently and formalised my enterprise as Barney's Sharpening Service in 2010, marking the inception of a fulfilling journey. Despite maintaining my interests in woodworking and cycling as hobbies, I actively engage in community service by participating in volunteer efforts focused on environmental conservation along the Cooks River.
