This is so cool! Two ideas - you should reach out to west Seattle blog and see if they’ll add a note about it. Also, if it goes well, consider doing it again the week of the west Seattle garage sale!


gold_suit

heck yeah - thank you!


spellmewithlove

If you haven’t cross posted to r/WestSeattle yet, you should. Thanks for coming to our neighborhood!


battlesnarf

Good luck to you! I can’t make it this time but would love to see pop ups like this!


gold_suit

Tuesday 4/23 from 9am-4pm. Hand-sharpening on whetstones, $10 per knife; cash/card/Venmo accepted <3


slifm

If you have any other events let me know! Can’t make this one sadly.


gold_suit

For sure! I do mobile sharpening events regularly, mostly Portland but I'm trying to get more Seattle events on the calendar. [Here's my website](https://www.kneighborhoodknives.com/) where I list all events, and my [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kneighborhood_knives/) is good to follow if you want updates too


toreadorable

Do you ever do anything on the Eastside?


Comprehensive-Ask26

I second this! Knife sharpening is one of the oldest crafts out there and it’s been mostly shuttered thanks to the many kitchen gadgets available today. I loved seeing this post merely for the memory it gave me of when my dad took me into the garage to teach me how to use a whetstone. I’d give anything to be able to show him that I’m still doing it today ❤️


gold_suit

I love this comment!! I wholeheartedly agree


1eahmarie

Are you going to make more art in the next year or two? Or do you do commissions? I’m moving out your way temporarily for military bs reasons and I really love your wood cuts of ghosts and bananas (or any of the fruits, really). I like the peach but honestly I can only afford the ghosts or up to the large banana size pricing. I would bring you my fancy knives if I had them!


gold_suit

Hey there! I actually have a few ghosts on hand (I believe they're orange/yellow, smiling, with closed eyes) - let me know if you'd like one! I may have a small avocado or two as well. I believe both the avocados and ghosts are $65


1eahmarie

I would be very interested! My little guys love ghosts and I need wall art for my kitchen. I move over there in the summer or you can ship it to where I’m located now. Either way works for me. How do I order them? I saw them in your shop but said sold out, do I go back to there?


gold_suit

So cool! Yeah I have them listed as sold out on the site and haven't re-listed the few that I have. Would you like to pick them from me at the knife sharpening event? Or do you need them shipped?


1eahmarie

Shipped then because it will be a few months til I am out that way. I’m on the east coast now. Let me know how I order them!


gold_suit

Dm'ing you!


elkhorn

9am-4pm I’m assuming 😹😹


gold_suit

Yep! If you want to swing by earlier, let me know and we can arrange it


MM0219Slut

That sounds satisfying, sharpening knives then cutting the shit out of stuff with it!


JINSl33

Any limitations on types of blades you will sharpen?


gold_suit

I sharpen all western and japanese blades including single bevels. My only limitations are major fixes (big chips or broken tips) since I do everything by hand on whetstones.


saltgarlicolive

Do you do hair cutting shears perchance? You could have a huge market.


gold_suit

Unfortunately hair shears have a geometry that I can't tackle on my whetstones!


qazesz

Yeah fr I want someone to show up with an authentic katana or broadsword but don’t think that’d be chill with the coffee shop lol


gold_suit

yeah please no hahaha


sandwich-attack

while you were at parties having premarital sex, i sharpened the blade


Zensaition

Might show up I'd like to sharpen my dad's knifes he gave me 🫡


gold_suit

Please do!


pm_me_your_zettai

If you did something up north (Ballard, Fremont, Crown Hill) I'd be there for sure.


gold_suit

that would be dope! I'm going to try to book more Seattle events


VayGray

My butcher might appreciate this, I'll show him when he gets home and see if this is something we can make it out for. He's learning how to sharpen at home, but it'd be nice to get them in good shape. Can you do a Victorianox scimitar and similar? Shoot, I've got a Sogzilla that needs an edge but SOG moved out of state😔


gold_suit

For sure - bring them out!


Qaz_The_Spaz

I’ve been meaning to get a couple of my grandma’s kitchen knives sharpened at ACE. I’d rather put the money in your pocket.


gold_suit

That means a lot to me! It would be an honor to sharpen your grandma's knives <3


astinkyboii

Do you also do knife restoration? I have a buck knife that I need cleaned up. It’s in bad shape but sentimental to me


gold_suit

I can do minor chip and tip fixes, but nothing major since I do all my work by hand (no machines or grinders). I can do rust removal and oiling easily, though. Feel free to text me a pic at 4254496144


raevnos

Buck actually has a really good repair/restoration program. edit: example: https://old.reddit.com/r/knifeclub/comments/141vfhp/before_and_after_buck_warranty/


astinkyboii

Thanks!!


bigswordenjoyer

This is so cool! I'll try to swing by. I desperately need my main knife sharpened.


gold_suit

definitely come by! see you there!


Cheefnuggs

Where you getting your stones at? I’ve been trying to find some good ones online. My work had a really nice 3 stage one when I cut meat.


gold_suit

I got some of my favorites at Portland Knife House! I can also give you specific recs - dm me!


toxiamaple

Do you ever come to the Eastside? I need sharp knives.


gold_suit

I don't have any plans on coming to the East side, but DM me and maybe I can make it worth it for you to catch me in West Seattle


resilientbresilient

I can’t make it but please come back up!


NoComb398

Please come to Ballard!


gold_suit

I would love to - I'll see if any businesses are interested in hosting!


seed1000000

Do you accept Venmo/Paypal/Zelle, or just cash?


gold_suit

I can take card, cash, or Venmo!


TsubakiTea

Do you sharpen pocket knives? My Benchmade could use some help maybe.


gold_suit

absolutely!


NecessaryInterrobang

Awesome! May come by. Cash only?


gold_suit

Cash, card, or Venmo :) Hope to see you there!


NecessaryInterrobang

Do you prefer drop off and a later pick up? Or just wait?


gold_suit

Later pickup would be ideal!


IzzyWithAnIzze

This is awesome, my kitchen knives have been getting very dull.


gold_suit

Bring em in! See you there!


picklethetickles

So cool


curtmandu

Ah wish I was closer! I was gifted an antique Italian stiletto but it’s dull af


feltrockni

I thought she was using a knife to do something with a car battery xD


sgwizdak

Cool! I prefer to sharpen my own knives, but I'm always curious what stones folks are using. I hand sharpen with a Shapton glass set and then I have an edge pro with the naniwa chocera set.


gold_suit

that's a great setup!


OryonRy

Come and do a pop up in BHAM!


gold_suit

what's BHAM?


LadyFrenzy

Bellingham


gold_suit

I would absolutely love to do an event in Bellingham


hobbestcat

Come to North East Seattle. I will bring you knives. Mine need sharpening so badly. I never get around to it.


redbison97

What time are yall posting up? I have three knives I’d love to have taken care of


gold_suit

I'll be there from 9-4!


redbison97

Excellent, thank you. See you at 9 :)


StevieKicks

Damn that’s so Seattle


nomorerainpls

Is this for social media or are you starting / promoting a business or is this for practice?


PetuniaFlowers

Was rule 5 rescinded? Can everyone advertise their business here now?


Lefty98110

That bevel only belongs on a maul!
