Get your knives sharpen by Marcus before your Xmas parties begin

CK from Johnsonville

Why not get your knives sharpen by my son, Marcus, before this stressful Christmas break. You can then dice, slice or cut your meat/vegetables with ease and in even thickness. It will make preparing food more enjoyable.

Marcus charges are below market rates.
$5 per knife
$7 for cleaver

He had lots of good feedback. Neighbourly members who had their knives sharpen are pleased with Marcus' sharpening skills. Remember, all knives have to pass the carrot test.
