Carmona first learned about the importance of sharpening when he started woodworking five years ago. The expensive woodworking tools he bought got dull after only a short time and he was forced to look for a solution. He studied, practiced and became a student of sharpening.

Armed with his woodworking sharpening knowledge, he applied the sharpening techniques to his cooking hobby. After sharpening his chef’s knife he saw for himself the difference a sharp tool makes in the kitchen. And it only continued from there, he looked around the house for ways to improve his other hobbies. There was no shortage of items that needed to be sharpened. Now he keeps his knives, fishhooks, pruners, axes and scissors sharp and ready to use.

“There is a big difference between a tool that is sort of sharp and one that is truly sharp. I realized for myself what a difference a sharp tool makes in getting the job done well and I wanted to share my knowledge with others,” Carmona says. He aims to offer the most comprehensive place for sharpening supplies and sharpening advice on the Web.

Carmona adds that the integrity of SharpeningSupplies.com is of the utmost importance, “When you buy your sharpening products from us you can feel confident that the product is going to work. We skip the gimmicks and cheap quality products. We carry only high quality sharpening supplies.”
