Mobile Sharpening Service
To book the mobile sharpening service, email me with your contact information to schedule the time and day for the sharpening.
There is a minimum charge for the mobile sharpening service($60). If the number of blades do not meet minimum charge, I would recommend coordinating with neighbors to have their blades sharpened at the same time.
The mobile sharpening service is not available for the city of Pontiac because of the additional tax paperwork involved. The good news for those living in Pontiac is that the farmers market is within a short driving distance.
