Business Summary
Located in the leafy village of Hall, Better Blades has been sharpening blades in Canberra and surrounding NSW since 1997 – and many of our customers wouldn’t go anywhere else. Owner Ian Brodrick started the business when he discovered that the majority of friends and colleagues had knives that weren’t receiving the tender loving care they required. After all, it’s a well-known fact that a sharp knife is a chef’s best friend. It wasn’t long until word of Ian’s blade sharpening grew. Better Blades is now a specialist in sharpening and supply of pet clippers, scissors and garden tools.
