GetSharpNelson is a sharpening service at 3 Waterdale Way, listed under Golden Bay in the Tasman district, with a Google rating of 5.0. The name suggests it serves the Nelson area, so check the location before you travel.
A good sharpening service restores a clean, even edge, so tools cut better and more safely. A sharp knife is safer than a blunt one, since it needs less force and slips less often. Typical items include kitchen knives, garden tools such as secateurs and shears, chisels, scissors and blades for wood or metal, and each needs its own angle, so tell the sharpener what the tool is used for. Ask whether they sharpen serrated or ceramic knives, since not every service does. Clean tools before you drop them off, and wrap blades safely for transport. Regulars sharpen before the busy season, such as pruning time, and use a honing steel at home to keep an edge between sharpenings.
For cooks, gardeners and tradespeople around Nelson and the Tasman district, GetSharpNelson is worth contacting about sharpening.
