What to expect

Instructors that agree there are many ways to sharpen

Our instructors have multiple techniques and agree their way is one of many

Best Instructors in the Business

Dennis Brooks, Jim O'Donnell, Ward Collins, Ramon Eickert, Jason Sturm, Ray Pope, Ryan Swanson, Cliff Curry, R.J. Watson, Ryan Brodbeck, Tyler Mathews, Hap Stanley, Alex Lee, Art Van Hecke, Loren Dalla Betta and the late Don Vogel - are among just a few of our skilled instructors at past events.

Sharpen What?

We specialize in Scissors, Knives and clipper blades. At a couple of events we included medical / dental equipment

The FUN is constant

The training is NOT and NEVER will be a class room setting without interaction. Lot's of machines, stones, files... for hands on training and student participation.  

How to sell

We teach how to sell, where to sell and what to sell.

Discussions on how to be better at sales, is interactive and very eye opening.

Advanced one on one training is always available

The Gathering ALWAYS has MANY instructors which allows us to answer any/all questions and give hands one support. Imagine 40 people in a room and 10 are instructors tuning your skills. 


Ohh yea - the FOOD and FUN are above any expectation you have dreamed of.

Memories are Made
