Jacques Couteaux

September already?
Since May/June we were kept busy mostly sharpening garden tools, lawnmower blades and, of course, knives.
Returning customers as well as tens of new people prised our sharpening service in the past few months and made us proud in doing what we do.
Yes, you can drop off your items at anytime here at home - 53 Petersfield Crt in Westmount.. Pick up is usually possible within the following 24 hours or even less.
See you soon!

A warm welcome to the new "followers" of Jacques Couteaux.

Spring has been busy sharpening an assortment of garden tools such as lawnmower blades, loppers, edge shears, pruners and such along with the regular items, knives, circular saw blades and scissors.

Through word-of-mouth, the clientele is building up steadily which leaves me time to enjoy a lively retirement to the best.

Today, Saturday May 23rd, I'm at the Variety Market in Glace Bay held at the Undercurrent Youth Centre on 224 York St, Glace Bay.
I will be sharpening knives only but taking all other items to be done at home where all my equipment is set up.
Hope to see you there!
