I recently had a customer drop off some leather working tools. First time doing leather working tools. It was a fun challenge.

I had the opportunity to give this beautiful racing axe a new mirrored edge. It came out sharp enough to shave your arm hairs! What a beautiful axe!

Phillip always drops off the coolest custom knives to be sharpened! These 2 got their edges cleaned up and sharpened to a mirror edge.

Drop off your knives to the Sharp Shack to get them ready for the summer time cookouts!

Risharpening is back open and ready to help you with all your sharpening needs!

Risharpening will be implementing new business hours moving forward. This change is being made to create a healthier work-life balance for myself and my family.
In addition to running this business, I work over 40+ hours a week at Electric Boat. I’m also a husband, a father to a 2-year-old, and we’re excited to be welcoming another baby boy soon. As life continues to get busier, it’s important for me to make sure I’m present for my family while still providing quality service to my customers.

New Business Hours:
Tuesdays: 3:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Focused on completing smaller orders.
Saturdays: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Primary sharpening day, allowing for a higher volume of orders to be completed.

Customers are welcome to drop off items at the Sharp Shack throughout the week. However, please note that all orders will only be worked on during the scheduled business hours listed above. Once your order is completed, it will be placed in the drop box, and you will be notified when it is ready for pickup.

I truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. Risharpening remains committed to delivering the same level of care and craftsmanship you’ve come to expect—just within an updated schedule.

Dear Valued Customers,
I wanted to personally share an update regarding RIsharpening.
RIsharpening will be taking the remainder of the winter season off from sharpening services. This decision wasn’t made lightly, but a few important factors have come together at the same time.

Most importantly, my 2-year-old son recently experienced a medical incident that requires more of my time and attention. Family always comes first, and I truly appreciate your understanding as I focus on supporting him during this period.

Please note that any orders I currently have will be fully completed and fulfilled before the winter closure. No existing orders will be left unfinished.

Additionally, working out of the sharpening trailer in colder winter temperatures—without heat—has proven to be challenging and not ideal for maintaining the level of service quality you expect and deserve.

This pause also gives me the opportunity to step back, reflect, and make improvements to RIsharpening as we prepare for the upcoming spring season. After an amazing 2025, I’ve learned so much through this adventure of building the business, and I’m excited to come back even stronger.

Thank you sincerely for your continued support, trust, and encouragement. I look forward to serving you again this spring and sharing what’s next for RIsharpening.
Wishing you a safe and wonderful rest of the winter.
Can't wait to see you all in the Spring and at the Farmers Market!

Warm regards,
Brandon Skuce

“Had an incredible experience at the farmer’s market! I sharpened a pair of scissors for a talented silhouette artist, and she amazed me by creating my silhouette right there on the spot! The precision and artistry were mind-blowing. Such a unique and inspiring moment!
