Keen in getting your kitchen knives sharpen? Marcus can help

CK from Johnsonville

Even since my first posting 40 days ago, my autistic son, Marcus, had made many Neigbourly members very happy by giving their old kitchen knife a new sharp edge. His autistic nature is also his strength. He is anal in wanting to get it right. All the knives have to pass the "carrot" test.

If your knife is chipped or you have over use your only favourite knife until there is no bevel left, it is time to get it sharpen. See below the two knives - one is chipped and one has no bevel left.

The prices are below the market rate as we just want Marcus to enjoy doing what he does and also to meet the community. The money he earns will be another step for us to help him understand to manage his funds when he eventually gets a job.

$5 knife
$7 cleaver

Please PM me if you would like Marcus to sharpen your knives.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
