Local Tool and Knife Sharpening in Bath
Your Tools, Blades and Knives returned “Better Than New”
About A1 Shapeners
My name is Martin Prior and I am based in the Batheaston (a few miles to the east of Bath). I’ve been sharpening Knives and all types of saws and tools for the last 4 years. It’s all I do and I love it.
I specialize in all types of Clipper Blade sharpening (Horse, Dog and Barbers) and everything else from Kitchen knives to Chainsaws. I can sharpen anything that’s blunt!
Working from my local workshop in Batheaston I offer a while-you-wait service by appointment, or you can drop off your items and pick them up later.
I take great pride in my work and I strive to return your item in a condition that is better than new. Some items I can even take from new and make sharper and better.

I messaged A1 regards sharpening some kitchen knives. They were of reasonable quality and I have looked after them and sharpened them myself.
I must say I have never had knives so sharp – I could not believe how sharp they are.
I would recommend anyone to use this rather unique service… Highly recommended and very knowledgeable information regards looking after your sharp knives.
Thank you Martin for a fantastic, efficient service!
The same-day turnaround was brilliant and at a very reasonable price. My blades are now cutting like new!
I will definitely recommend A1 Sharpeners and be using you again.
I contacted Martin to ask about clipper sharpening. Sharpened 3 sets while I waited.
What a service – no hassle with driving a distance or having to send them away.
