Continuing a Trusted Tradition

In 2012, we took over Ralph Lee’s business, The Scissorman, to continue the tradition of quality and service he established with his customers. Ralph has personally endorsed On The Edge Sharpening, and we honor to carry his legacy.

Meet Jim:

On The Edge Sharpening was started by Jim O’Donnell in 1991. Jim has spent the past 30+ years sharpening and helping sharpeners grow and expand their businesses both independently as a professional sharpener and was the sharpener trainer at Wolff Industries, Inc from 1997 to 2016 where he trained hundreds of sharpeners around the world and spoke at industry events. Since leaving, Jim still trains and speaks as he continues to help improve this industry he loves. Jim also publishes two media tools to help his fellow sharpeners, On The Edge Newsletter (www.otenewsletter.com) and his YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/user/JimSharpBlog). As a marketer and branding professional Jim has helped numerous sharpeners and cutting professionals increase their market share in their local towns and cities both through sharpening and through the industry leading lines of shears and tools he carries.

Jim has been in sharpening, sales, training ,and marketing all his life and specializes in networking, public relations and speaking both locally and at sharpening and industry conventions and meetings all over the United States. He’s driven to help his customers find answers to their needs! Marketing and networking is about helping others, not them helping you! Jim tries to exemplify this in both his work life and personal life!
