Frequently Asked Questions

Native Phoenicians, we have both been involved in the horse and tool industries for most of our careers. Fred's love of tools and passion for being meticulous marries perfectly with Sara's need for sharp tools as a Certified Journeyman Farrier (horseshoer / blacksmith).

Sharpening seems like a lost trade these days. It’s easy to get used to struggling with dull knives and tools. At The Stone and Strop in Scottsdale, knife and tool sharpening is a labor of love, not a quick-turn, high-volume operation. Fred spends focused time on each piece, working by hand with specialized equipment to deliver a polished, consistent edge.
