| 5/13/26 | The Real Tools Behind a Successful Sharpening Business | Send us Fan Mail What tools do you REALLY need to start a sharpening business? In this episode of Tool Talk, Matt sits down with Grant Lauinger of Custom Edge Sharpening to discuss sharpening systems, tool philosophy, guided vs freehand sharpening, business growth, and the reality of building a sharpening business part-time. Grant shares how he started with a simple 1x30 setup and gradually expanded into clipper blades, salon shears, garden tools, mower blades, and professional belt systems i... | 48m 34s | |
| 4/15/26 | From Swiss Army Knives to a Sharpening Business | Ken Lunder’s Journey | Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Knife and Tool Sharpening Podcast, Matt sits down with Ken Lunders of Maritime Sharpening in Halifax to talk about his lifelong journey with knives and sharpening. Ken’s story starts the way many sharpeners do — fascinated with his father’s Swiss Army knife as a kid. From sharpening on oil stones and concrete as a teenager, to learning metallurgy as a diesel mechanic, to eventually building a sharpening business in Canada, Ken’s path shows how curiosity... | 35m 07s | |
| 4/8/26 | Inside the Guild: How Sharpeners Are Growing Faster Together | Send us Fan Mail What’s actually working in a sharpening business right now?

We cover: How sharpeners are increasing their rates A “spa treatment” upsell that customers love What’s happening inside our weekly Guild calls Lesson... | 16m 12s | |
| 3/18/26 | Designing a Sharpening Business That Serves Your Life (Not the Other Way Around) | Send us Fan Mail James and I go way back—he was one of the early guys I taught in-person, and his story is a big part of why the Guild exists today. In this episode, James shares how he built (and rebuilt) his sharpening business in a way that supports his life instead of consuming it. We talk about the early days, learning the fundamentals (yes—the burr), why Google Business can be the difference between “crickets” and instant customers, and what changed when he restarted after a multi-year ... | 47m 24s | |
| 2/18/26 | Off the Slopes to On the Stones: Building a Knife Shop + Sharpening Business in Breckenridge | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Harris of Breckenridge Knife & Tool Sharpening, recorded live from his shop in Breckenridge, Colorado. Steve shares how his retail store, Off the Slopes, naturally led him into professional knife and tool sharpening after customers kept asking a simple question: “Can you sharpen my knife?” What started as a value-add quickly turned into a thriving sharpening business serving homeowners, professional chefs, flower shops, groomers, and m... | 49m 30s | |
| 1/23/26 | Serve First, Sharpen Well: A Conversation with Phil "Buck" Van Lanen | Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Knife and Tool Sharpening Podcast, I sit down with Phil Van Lanen, owner of Van Lanen Sharpening, for a thoughtful, honest conversation about craft, service, and building a sharpening business the right way. Phil shares how his approach to sharpening has always been grounded in serving people first — focusing on doing good work, treating customers well, and letting the business grow naturally instead of chasing quick wins. We talk about his early days g... | 38m 17s | |
| 2/1/25 | Sharpening In Retirement | Send us Fan Mail In this session I focus the conversation on reasons to consider sharpening in retirement.
