Knife Sharpening as a Trade Career
This Wednesday, February 26, I’ll be speaking at Patriot High School about a career in knife sharpening. Not everyone wants to take the traditional college path, and sharpening is an excellent trade that offers:
✅ Low startup costs – No expensive degrees required!
✅ High demand – Every kitchen, restaurant, and garden needs sharp tools.
✅ Flexibility & independence – Work mobile, set your hours, and build a business that fits your lifestyle.
