Knife Sharpening Biz

I’m working on a plan to start a knife sharpening business catered towards restaurants, retirement homes, culinary school students, etc. I used to work in kitchens, and once I worked at a place where a knife sharpener came by every 3-4 weeks to sharpen knives ($5 a piece, I think). I’ve googled similar services in my area, and they do exist, which means to me that it’s a viable idea, but mostly they seem to be mail-order type deals (you send a bundle of knives, they sharpen and mail them back). I’m more interested in going out and aggressively seeking out establishments that could use my services, and less interested in services to individuals.

    So did that idea about mobile knife sharpening get off the ground? I started a mobile knife sharpening business as a hobby 4 1/2 years ago and it has grown into a very profitable enterprise which is now for sale.
