A fantastic edge sharpen by Ellis Brigham today
Called in about 11:30 on my way to Cairngorm on the off chance that they might not be too busy and able to do it while I waited. I knew that after the thaw and refreeze that I'd struggle with my edges as they were but EB were the only place that I phoned who said they might be able to do them there and then. I'd have needed to leave them for up to a week at the other places.
They have a really knowledgeable technician, Anthony, who not only did a totally brilliant job but also explained base and side angles and the pros and cons of different ones.I now understand the theory and science behind sharpening !
Was on the snow just after 12:30 and for some reason the see through boiler plate outside the top station wasn't least bit slippy today
Very confidence boosting
Picked up my ancient Scott Mayas on the way home that have had probably well over 400 days use but are now looking very respectable having had a grind, wax and sharpen and hopefully will be good for future snow patches !
