Thinking of starting your own sharpening business?
We run two day training courses that will teach you everything you need to know, and how to succeed.
- You will be taught how to sharpen everything from hairdressing scissors, garden shears, kitchen and hunting knives to axes. You can even tell us what you would like to sharpen, and we will show you how.
- Every student is given a FREE pair of high quality 440c hairdressing scissors. These scissors have a retail value of @ £165.
- No previous experience is required, as we will teach you everything.
No more than three people on any course.
2012 Training Days are normally the last Friday and Saturday of the month.
Other dates can be arranged to suit your requirements, with Saturday & Sunday available by request at no extra cost.
David Priaulx from Broadstairs wrote; I have just attended Robin's knife and scissor sharpening training course and found it to be an extremely beneficial and thoroughly enjoyable two days. Robin made the course interesting and he passed on his years of knowledge in the craft. He is a true expert in his field and a great teacher. Thank you very much!
Joe Gomez from Essex wrote; We had a great two days with Robin... a man who seriously knows his stuff. A great hands on course and with a very small class lots of time for practice and question.
A great teacher and I would seriously recommend this course.
Stay in touch

Rodney Mee from Bromley wrote; I attended Robin's November course and was very happy with the training. I think what is well worth the fee is that Robin has distilled his 15 years of experience into one weekend course. His support after the course has also been very helpful and I hope to see some success with my new business in the New year
Michael Gaze from Brighton; I already had a wet Tormek grinding machine and had some expertise but I was making errors and the hands-on training was invaluable: nothing written in books could ever replicate what I learned on the course.
