Northern Rivers Blade Sharpening (NRBS) is a local blade sharpening service in the Northern Rivers, built from a simple, practical decision at Ataraxis Farms - to diversify the farm in a way that aligned with our land, our skills, and our community.

Like many primary producers, we understand that farming doesn’t stop when the weather turns bad - but productivity often does. NRBS was created to reduce downtime during wet and unpredictable periods, while building a reliable, hands-on service that supports people across the region all year round.

Sharpening was a natural fit. It is essential, practical, and deeply connected to everyday work across the Northern Rivers - from farms and kitchens to salons, workshops, and backyards.

At the heart of NRBS is Chris, who brings over 30 years of carpentry trade experience and a lifetime of working with sharp tools. That background shapes everything we do - every knife, pair of scissors, and set of clippers is sharpened with care, precision, and an understanding of real-world use.

What began as a farm diversification project has grown into a trusted Northern Rivers blade sharpening service, grounded in old-school values: do the job properly, respect the tools, and look after the people who rely on them.

Northern Rivers Blade Sharpening has proudly been operating since July 2025.
