A Master Sharpener of almost 20 years, Wright was looking for a successor.

While Tony had some sharpening experience on his own equipment, it took mentoring and training from Jim, for Tony to learn the craft.

These two still maintain a friendship and often work together on projects.

PS most recently purchased Hurt’s Sharpening. Roger Hurt has a background in tool and die making prior to his 15 years of sharpening experience.

Tony and Roger collaborate regularly, particularly for larger industrial clients like meat processors.
