Knife Sharpening at Lunardi's Walnut Creek

I have begun sharpening knives at Lunardi's Walnut Creek!

Mobile Knife Sharpening at Lunardi's Walnut Creek

Here I am set up in the parking lot next to the market. Lunardi's Walnut Creek is is a rather large open air mall — Palos Verdes Mall.

Yesterday — Saturday — was the first day. I will be there every Saturday 10am to 5pm.

It was fairly busy out of the gate, I talked knives with a lot of people — had a good time.

I saw a few unusual knives here yesterday:

Cutco 1769 Hunting Knife, White Handle 1769, Cutco Bullwhip Folding Pocket Knife

I don't see these Cutco hunting knives everyday. Especially a white handled Cutco model 1769. I don't think I have ever seen a white handled one.

For sure I have never seen a Cutco folding pocket knife! It is marked 'Bullwhip' on the blade. I really liked this knife, it was slim, nice styling, beautiful.

Handmade Philippine Machete with Wooden Sheath

On the other hand — this knife is a BEAST! It is a hand made machete that a guy in the Air Force bought when he was sent down to the Philippines, Subic Bay. 

The blade is made from a leaf spring of a truck, the handle is water buffalo horn, and the sheath is carved wood. Really cool knife.

Grohmann Chef's Knife

This knife was bought as a souvenir when he was on vacation in British Columbia in Canada. I really liked his idea. Before the vacation he thought about what he needed, and then while on vacation he shopped for it, trying to by as close to a locally made product as he could. He tells me that then the souvenir — such as this knife — reminds him of the vacation each time he uses it.

Much better idea than buying a knickknack that just sits and gathers dust.

Tattered Knife Sharpening Sign

On another note — I took my stop at Lunardi's Walnut Creek to retire my mobile knife sharpening sign. It became quite tattered and ugly. Time to design and print some signage!
