Most good stories start in a kitchen.
Ours started in one too  but not a fancy, stainless-steel TV kitchen. Just an ordinary one. The kind where meals happen between work shifts, where knives get used, washed, and put away without a second thought.

Then one day, a knife refused to cooperate.

It was supposed to slice through a tomato  but instead, it crushed it flat.
The sound it made wasn’t the crisp swish of a sharp blade. It was the dull, frustrated squash of a tool that had seen better days.

And that’s when I realised something simple: we all live with dull knives far longer than we should.

That single thought sparked what would eventually become DTDF Knife Sharpening  a place built to make sharpening simple, safe, and satisfying for everyday kitchens.
