My Knife Sharpening Shop Tour 2026 | Every Machine, Laser, 3D Printer & Tool I Use

Welcome to my 2026 Knife Sharpening Shop Tour! In this video I'm taking you through my entire workshop and showing you every machine, tool, and workstation I use to run Alexandria Knife Sharpening & Laser Engraving. Over the past several years my business has grown from a small one-car garage focused only on knife sharpening into a full-time shop offering professional knife sharpening, laser engraving, 3D printing, UV printing, and product design. In this video you'll see my complete knife sharpening shop, Tormek sharpening systems, belt grinders, TSProf, laser engravers, 3D printers, UV printers, polishing equipment, and the workflow I use every day in my business. Whether you're thinking about starting your own sharpening business, looking for shop ideas, or you're just curious about the equipment I use every day, I hope this tour gives you some ideas and inspiration.
