Profile bio

About Sam Bentham

Sam’s Sharpening is a modern take on the traditional micro business. The idea was born during the lockdown and realised over the following few months. Sharpening and servicing of knives and hand tools is an environmentally friendly process, it reduces waste and encourages renewal rather than replacement. The equipment runs on solar power and most work is carried out locally to help reduce emissions.

Listed skills include Product Development, Engineering, Cad, Sheet Metal, and 24 others.

Sam’S Sharpening Www.Samssharpening.Co.Uk

Canterbury, England, United Kingdom

I created Sam’s Sharpening as an interesting lockdown project, the business set up process was very interesting and I love to get around and meet people in their own environment. I now provide a low cost, high quality and environmentally sustainable mobile knife and garden tool sharpening service across East Kent. My client base consists of roughly 50% pubs, restaurants, butchers, upholsterers, professional gardeners etc and 50% household/general public. Every day is different, some days are fascinating, most of my customers are ecstatic at having sharp tools again and I’m making a difference in terms of ‘renewing’ instead of ‘replacing’ equipment.I love my job!

This was a temp role while the Sharpening business was building up. It was a ‘great experience’ and I met some amazing colleagues who I’m still in touch with, but I have to say, Public Sector politics, delivery and thinking is definitely not for me!
