DROP OFF POINTS
NOTE: There is no extra charge from me for using a drop off point. The only difference is that you will pay tax for the sharpening service when using one of them.
The drop off spots in Nova Scotia are:
My home and workplace, in Middle Sackville at 8 Highrigger Crescent
Getaway Farms Butcher Shop (North End)
Larch Wood Wolfville (Every two weeks, weather permitting)
The Paderno Store in Bayer’s Lake closed down and Big Erics will likely no longer be a drop off point due to logistical issues.
I make pick ups and drop offs on Tuesdays and Fridays at the drop off spots listed and my home address. I am usually at the points by 11 and out by 2pm at the latest.
Restaurants: I do not do pickup and drop off services . If the knives can be sharpened on site that may work. However, with the absence of parking and gas prices it’s not feasible for me to pick up a few knives then bring them back . Another issue that frequently occurs is that the owner of the knife or knives is not there when I return the knives which means another trip to get paid. I’ve got several drop off points that I established just for this purpose, to make it easy for me and potential customers . If there are no options, a $40.00 charge will be added for pickup and delivery. (Please note that I really value your business, I’m just to busy sharpening to make extra trips into town)
I do not do pickups at private residences. If you just don’t want to bother dropping off the knives and you would prefer me to pick them up it’s a $40.00 fee depending on where you live. I highly recommend using a drop off location.
Instructions for Drop-Off
Knives must be dropped off in a container for safety reasons. This can be wrapped in paper, in a grocery bag, bubble wrap, or a knife sheath. Your knife will be re-wrapped after it has been sharpened, so your container needn’t be anything fancy.
NOTE: If you drop knives off to me directly at my home/workplace in Middle Sackville, you will have to pick them up there as well.
