Axe and machete sharpening
A sharp axe is the safer axe.
A dull axe glances off the wood. A dull machete takes three swings where one should do.
Each blade is checked for chips and dents, the bevel is reshaped if needed and the edge finished clean.
Gulf Coast storms leave limbs and brush behind, and that is when these tools need to bite.
Firewood, fence lines, trails and storm cleanup all go faster and safer with a true edge.

Splitting and felling axes
Full-size axes for firewood and clearing, set to the right bevel for the job.
Hatchets
Camp and yard hatchets sharpened for clean, controlled cuts.
Machetes and brush blades
Machetes for brush, cane and trails, with bite and control restored.
Storm cleanup tools
Get the axe and machete ready before hurricane season, not after.
How it is done
Every edge, coarse to polished.
The same careful steps on a paring knife or a mower blade. Coarse to fine, every time.
Look it over
Every blade is checked first for chips, broken tips, rolled edges and its factory angle.
Set the angle
The bevel is corrected only where it needs it, so the blade keeps its shape.
Sharpen
A controlled grind brings back a clean, even edge without overheating the steel.
Polish
The edge is refined and polished so it cuts smoothly and holds up longer.
Test and return
Each edge is checked by hand before it goes back. Not happy? The job is free.

Fishing knives, done while he waited
Called Eric and he told me to come on over. Sharpened my six fishing knives while I waited. Took maybe 15 minutes max. To say they are razor sharp would be an understatement. Plus…he is a very nice and personable guy. Highly recommend.
Kitchen and serrated knives
Great service and incredibly fast! Even sharpened my serrated knife for me. Couldn't have asked for a higher quality job on my kitchen knives. The whole process was simple, easy, and I'll be going back when I need them done again.
Benchmade and fillet knives
Eric with Sharpening Services of Alabama was top rate. My benchmade pocket knife and several filet knives are now razor sharp and finished in a very timely manner. Definitely recommend his services and I will be using him again.
Knives sharpened on the spot
Eric was prompt to respond and sharpened my knives on the spot!!!! He was a wealth of knowledge as I had many questions!!!! Can’t wait to chop some onions with my razor sharp benchmade. Thanks Eric
Four knives cleaned and sharpened

They ,my knives came out beautifully! I would highly recommend Sharpening services of Alabama for any of your sharpening/ cleaning needs when it comes to knives or anything else. He gets 5 stars from me and his great customer service!
Can you fix a chipped axe?
Yes. Chips, dents and rolled edges are evaluated and corrected as part of the sharpening.
Do you sharpen chainsaws?
No, chainsaw chains are not a service we perform. Call and we can point you in the right direction.
How sharp should an axe be?
Sharp enough to bite and hold, with a bevel strong enough for its job. Splitting and felling axes differ.
Is it worth sharpening an old machete?
Usually, yes. Most old machetes have plenty of steel left once the damage is ground out.
Ready when you are
Bring it in dull. Take it home sharp.
