The Sharp Brothers

We invited the Sharp Brothers to our neighborhood picnic, and Nate sharpened knives for a bunch of people. The service was fantastic. I would highly recommend inviting them to your next gathering!

This is one of the best services in Milwaukee. I drop my dull things off and a day later I have wickedly sharp implements! I do all my gardening loppers and clippers every fall as well as my kitchen knives. I have been a customer for a couple of years now, and would (and do) recommend the Sharp Brothers very highly.

Taking form in 2004, The Sharp Brothers started as a father and son duo. Lee has been sharpening for over 50 years. He began as a young boy growing up on a farm in southern Illinois and now sharpens the knives of top chefs, frivolous home cooks, and unusual yokels. He possesses a certain finesse and wisdom which can only be accumulated with decades of care and respect towards maintaining the functionality of our favorite edged tools. Austin, his son, with fine eyes and nimble hands has been sharpening since he was 14.
Over the years they have trained other sharpeners and placed them under their wings on an apprentice program. They work under taut and tame supervision to become master sharpeners. You will meet the sharpeners at farmers markets, knife sharpening parties, at your house or a myriad of other places
The Sharp Brothers use state-​of-​the-​art equipment. Their 320 gritted, one-​inch belt sander lays a fine burr and a high-​speed paper wheel removes it making the perfect edge without taking much steel off. They have sharpened over 100,000 knives and counting in the Milwaukee area.
