Hi!

My name is Mozi, and I started Philly Sharp in 2020.  I have always been enthusiastic about making things, mainly with wood.  When I started woodworking, it quickly became clear that to use the hand tools I loved, I needed to be able to sharpen them effectively and efficiently.  I became frustrated with the throwaway culture that we have here in the United States – and this applies to tools and their history.  

I soon found that this was a greater need/want for my family and for the community.  I have sharpened hundreds of knives and implements since then.  In 2025, I rebranded the business, changing the name from Mozi's Sharpening and Tool Restoration to Philly Sharp.  

While sharpening tools is the main thing I do here, I have embarked on a variety of tool restoration projects.  Bringing old tools, especially quality old tools into working order is my passion.  I also love to teach people about how to maintain tools for themselves.  My overall goal is to teach, not to profit from people's lack of knowledge.  This is why I offer both services – an easy drop off service, and consultations for those wanting to invest the time to learn the trade.
