Quality Knife Sharpening Since 2018
STAY SHARP...
Welcome to TackSharp Knife Sharpening
I started out a number of years ago forging and making my own knives for fun using hammer, forge and anvil. It was a hobby I enjoyed and I would give the knives to friends and family. As time went on, word spread that I was a "knife guy" and friends and neighbors would regularly ask if I could sharpen their personal knives. And so, TackSharp was born!
I provide knife and tool sharpening and repair services throughout Putnam and surrounding counties of New York and Connecticut. The most common items I receive are chef knives, serrated knives, Japanese knives, pocket knives, axes, machetes, garden tools and even pizza cutting wheels... TackSharp can sharpen them all!
Since everyone has busy lives, I make it as convenient as possible by offering 24 hour drop-off and pick-up. Simply drop your items off in the drop off box with your contact information, and once they have received the TackSharp treatment, I will notify you and set up a pick-up time. Of course, I'd also be happy to meet you in person and answer any questions you may have. It's that easy! Turnaround time is typically 48 hours. Gift certificates also available.
​
I am conveniently located near Interstates 684 and 84.

HOW IT WORKS
24 Hour Drop-Off and Pick-Up By Appointment
Mail-in orders welcome!
If you're not local, feel free to mail your knives to me. Simply put them in a standard shipping box and put them in the mail. Once they're ready, I'll reach out to you with pricing plus shipping.
Simply call, text, or email me to let me know what day and time you'd like to drop off your items. Feel free to ask me any questions!
​​
Let me know if there are any issues or special instructions such as damage, warped or bent blades, etc. Note: Bent tips run the risk of snapping when repairing. If this happens, I will give it a new pointy tip.
​
Most Japanese knives and santoku knives have a right- or left-handed bevel, so please indicate if you'd like to leave the bevel as-is, or change it at no additional charge.
​
Put your items in a paper bag or a box, wrap them in a kitchen towel or newspaper, or just bring them as-is. Don’t stress! I wrap all of your items in brown paper myself when they’re done.
​​
Drop off your items in the clearly marked, large drop-off box conveniently located in our driveway, or hand them to me in person.
​​
Whether it's your first time or 100th time dropping items off, please be sure to leave your name and contact info with your items so that I can contact you when they're done. Multiple people may drop items off each day so labeling them avoids confusion.
​​
Once your items are ready, I will contact you. You tell me what day and time you will be picking up, and I put them out in the drop-off box for you. It’s that easy!
​​
There is no rush on when to pick up, but items left for over 6 months will incur a fee of $10/week.
​​
Payment: Cash is preferred, but I also accept credit cards and Venmo, which adds a 3% fee.
