Video: Knife Sharpening in Morningside, East Atlanta

Troy Von Kutzleben, bladesmith extraordinare, graces Atlanta neighborhoods with his years of knife sharpening experience. Patch was there for a demo.

Von Kutzleben sets up shop at the Morningside Farmers Market in Virginia-Highland and the East Atlanta Village Farmers Market on Flat Shoals Avenue on the third week of the month—the third Thursday in EAV and the third Saturday in VaHi.

The stay-at-home dad quit the corporate world to spend time with his children but needed a way to make that financially viable, so he turned to a well-loved hobby to pay the bills.

Prices vary as does the length of time a sharpening will last.

He recommends people come in once a quarter, or every three or four months.

"Unless you're a chef," he said. "Some chefs have knives sharpened once a week. They like a super keen edge."
