About Us

Our Background

At TMR Sharpening, we specialize in giving your tools a second life – with edges that perform better, last longer, and make your work easier. Based in North Franklin, Connecticut, we’re a small, owner-operated business with a big focus on craftsmanship, reliability, and local service.

We sharpen everything from kitchen knives and grooming shears to sawmill blades, axes, and chipper knives. Our diverse customer base includes home chefs, pet groomers, barbers, landscapers, contractors, and even woodworkers – people who depend on precision every day. No matter the tool, we understand how important it is to keep your edge sharp and your workflow smooth.

TMR was founded on a simple idea: tools deserve better care. What started as a garage-based operation quickly gained a reputation for quality work and fair pricing. Over the years, we’ve invested in industrial-grade sharpening equipment, built a process that balances speed with accuracy, and developed long-standing relationships with local customers who trust us to deliver every time.

We don’t just “run it through a machine.” Every item is inspected by hand before and after sharpening, with attention to edge geometry, material type, and use case. We’re not satisfied until it’s just right – and if something doesn’t need sharpening yet, we’ll tell you straight.

At TMR Sharpening, we take pride in old-school values:

  • Honest Work
  • Fast Turnaround
  • Clear Communication

…and doing right by our customers. Whether you’re dropping off a single blade or managing a large batch of tools, we’ll treat your gear like it’s our own.
