Meet the Host

My name is Matt and I started The American Edge in 2016 after beginning to learn to sharpen while deployed to Djibouti. My goal when I started was to generate $5000 over five years to install a Permaculture project on my homestead. Through years of grinding it out, I finally discovered the potential that lies in sharpening businesses. My goal now is to help make more sharpeners than anyone before and to restore the local artisanal sharpener in every town and city.

Why You Should Join Us

Results and Transformation

Nowhere else in the world is there a community with built-in programs that will train you not just in the skills, but also in the ways to build a business and monetize those skills.

It is not impossible to build or grow a sharpening business on your own, but by becoming an active member in the Guild you’ll accomplish your own goals on a timeline you’d otherwise never imagine.

As your host, my goal for you is to add $500 of revenue per month to your business every year you’re active in the Guild. That’s whether you’re just starting, or whether you’re established and growing. 

Your investment in the Guild, combined with your hard work, will pay for itself and the tools to get started in the first year. Every month or year you keep your business active after that is all gravy. 

Or, for many of us, the revenue is at a good place and we want the community of people to learn from, to share with and to support. Sharpening and Business are both never-ending pursuits of knowledge and skill.

"I am just realizing that between the big order of knives and my buddy that had 4 chisels and 7 planes I have been paid about $200 this week. My best yet." -Doug Agee Owner of Bonneville Sharpening Service, Salt Lake City UT in month 3 of implementing the Foundations for Success Course
