Why We Roam to Your Home
The culinary arts have been a passion of mine for years. My career in the industry began at 14, scrubbing dishes, and continued throughout high school as I worked my way through the stations—prep, pantry, sauté, grill, and more. By the time I reached college, I was cooking in high-end restaurants, and it was there that I first discovered the world of well-manicured cutlery. In fine dining, each cook brings their own knives. I began sampling the various knives and was astounded at how unique each blade felt. Damascus steel versus Western steel, the weight, the balance—it was fascinating, and I was hooked.
After a decade in kitchens, life took me in new directions, and I found myself drawn to metalworking. Along the way, I met some incredibly skilled craftspeople who deepened my understanding of the craft. It wasn’t long before I realized I had to find a way to combine my two passions: culinary arts and metalworking. Knives were the natural fit.
As I dove deeper into the world of knives, I quickly saw the flaws in how we take care of them. If I take my knives to the local hardware store, my Damascus steel blade gets sharpened the same way as my Western steel. Plus, I have to drop them off, be without them for a few days, and make a second trip to retrieve them.
Another option is to ship my knives to multiple manufacturers, packing and sending them off to different places, and wait a week or more until I get them back.
There had to be a better way—and there is. The Roaming Stone. Professional sharpeners, trained to expertly sharpen knives and blades to their original manufacturer specifications. All with the convenience of home delivery. That's why We Roam to Your Home.
