Rocky Mountain Sharp Shop
Sharpening Northern Colorado
“We sharpen anything but pencils and wits!”
For more than 50 years, Northern Colorado has trusted one shop with its knives, blades, and tools. Bring in anything with an edge — it leaves here sharper than the day it was made.
Top-of-the-line machinery, decades of hands-on skill, and the kind of service that built a 50-year reputation. Commercial and residential.
Chef knives, cleavers, and full kitchen sets — home cooks and working kitchens alike.
Hunting knives, fillet knives, and field gear brought back to a true working edge before the season.
Household, sewing, and garden shears sharpened to cut clean again.
Salon shears and clipper blades, sharpened so every cut is clean and quiet.
Mower blades, pruners, loppers, axes, and shovels — everything your yard runs on.
Circular saw blades and chainsaw chain sharpened for straight, fast cuts — and blades sold off the shelf. The backbone of the shop ›
Chisels, planer blades, jointer knives, and shop tooling sharpened to spec.
Veterans, first responders, law enforcement, paramedics, and doctors: 15% off every sharpening. Just let us know at the counter.
We price by what it is and how long it is — not by the steel. A Damascus blade costs the same as any other blade its size.
Tell us what you've got and we'll quote it on the phone, same as we always have.
Ceramic is the one that costs more — it takes a diamond wheel, and most shops won't touch it. A block price moves with what kind of knives, how many, and how long they are.
Salon, barber and pet-grooming shears are all the same job to us, so they're all the same price.
Bring it on the mower or off it — either way works. Every blade that leaves here is balanced.
Priced by bar length. Anything over 36 inches is a six-foot bunk chain. While it's here we clean up the bar and check the drive links — a burned drive link will ruin both the chain and the bar.
Up to 16 inches we price by tooth count; at 16 inches and over it goes by diameter and how thick the blade is. Tip replacement is in addition to the sharpening.
Mild steel, stainless, aluminum, heavy wall — we sharpen the blades that cut all of it. If you don't see your tool on this list, that usually means it's a job we quote by the piece, not that we won't do it.
There are a handful of things we don't take — ice skates and ice augers among them; we don't have the equipment for those. If you're not sure about yours, call and ask.
“Saw blades. Saw blades by far. The backbone of my company.”
Circular blades, industrial metal-cutting blades, bandsaw, bunk chain — sharpened on machinery built for it, by people who have been doing it for fifty years.
A customer came in with a run of heavy-duty beveled blades — four, five hundred dollars apiece, the kind that live inside a machine. They said, “can you sharpen these? We can't find anybody to sharpen them.”
We told them to give us a couple of weeks to work out how we'd do it. “And we sharpened them.” They picked up the whole batch, brought in more, and then started bringing us other things nobody else could sharpen either.
Circular saw blades — priced by tooth count up to 16 inches, by diameter and thickness above that. Heavy-duty and industrial metal-cutting blades for mild steel, stainless, aluminum and heavy wall. Bandsaw and bunk chain too.
Chipped or missing teeth get new carbide — wood, metal-cutting, or nail-cutting tips, priced by how many the blade needs. Blanks and inserts on request. Tip replacement is in addition to sharpening.
We stock blades in a range of tooth counts and sell them off the shelf, Freud among them. Higher-end Tenryu and Forrest on request. We build custom chainsaw chain here too.
Commercial pickup and delivery twice a week. Most accounts run net 30 — thirty days to pay, nobody making a counter trip, no invoice surprises.
You don't have to be in Colorado to use this shop. Blades come to us from across the country — Denver, Pennsylvania, Wyoming — get sharpened, and go straight back out. Box them up and give us a call.
“Whether it's somebody's kitchen knife that isn't working right — that when they try and cut a tomato it gushes the tomato versus goes cleanly through — or the pallet company cutting 700,000 linear square feet a month of wood. It's all the same in my world.”

Paul and the team go the extra mile every time. Top-of-the-line equipment and honest prices.
Fifty years in business tells you everything. Quality work from people who take pride in it.
Three of us in the shop: Paul, his oldest son, and a friend of thirty-six years — a veteran — who has worked beside him longer than most businesses stay open.
It's been passed along from owner to owner, from father to son, since the mid-60s.
We shut the lot down for the afternoon and the neighborhood turned out — kids, neighbors, and plenty of folks we normally only see across the counter. Thanks to everyone who came by.
This is an American shop — pride in the work, and a handshake that still means something. Fifty years of neighbors trusting neighbors, one edge at a time.

“If you'll bring it over, let us take a peek at it.”
Half the things that come through this door don't have a name anybody agrees on. Snap a photo, tell us what you call it, and we'll tell you what it takes.
Rather just talk it through? A real person answers this phone — that's not going to change.
