Convenient Drop-Off and Live Market Sharpening

Serving Sun Prairie, Madison, Waunakee, and all of Dane County, my sharpening service offers two easy ways to keep your knives, scissors, and garden tools in perfect working order: a secure 24-hour drop-box at my shop or quick, convenient live sharpening at your local farmers market.

Option 1: Secure Drop-Off at My Shop

Location: 215 E Main St, Sun Prairie, WI

Dropping Off:

  • Gather your knives, scissors, or tools and securely wrap them together in a kitchen towel or newspaper. Multiple items can be bundled together—no need to wrap each individually.
  • Just inside the front door, you’ll find a clearly marked black drop box.
  • Enter code 299181, press OK, then turn the square knob to the right to open. Place your bundled items inside.
  • Fill out the provided contact card with your name, phone number (please indicate text or call), and any special instructions, and leave it with your items.

Picking Up:

  • Items are typically sharpened within 24 hours. I'll text or call when your sharpening is complete.
  • You’ll receive a pickup code (also 299181). Enter the code, press OK, then turn the square knob to the right again to collect your sharpened items.
  • Pickup codes are used only at the shop drop box. Market pickups never require a code.

Option 2: Live Sharpening at Farmers Markets

Most knives and scissors qualify for live sharpening at the market and are ready for pickup in 30 minutes or less.

How It Works:

  • Bring your items bundled safely in a kitchen towel or newspaper secured with a rubber band or tape. Multiple items can be bundled together.
  • Hand the items directly to me at the booth, browse the market, and return shortly afterward to collect your professionally sharpened blades.
