SHARPENING

PROEDGE Sharpening Service

is run by myself Robert Gibson

​

I am a professionally trained sharpener and

have been working as a chef for the past 30 years.

​

During my time as a chef I started getting interested in sharpening skills and

I travelled to England, Japan and USA to develop my skills.

​

Being married to a Japanese person I had a great chance to visit Sakai in Osaka,

where is very famous for its craftsmanship of quality knives.

​

In Sakai I had a great opportunity to be taught by wet stone sharpening master

Mr. Tanaka and learn the beauty of Japanese knives.

​

My journey continued to New Jersey and here I met my another teacher Warren

who taught me a lot in depth about sharpening skills.

​

In 2018 my dream came true when we converted our Ford van

into a mobile sharpening service.
