Tom Blodgett aka, jendeindustries here.
I’m 36, and owner of Jende Industries, LLC. I started my entry in to reed knives when I moved to Taiwan as Principal Clarinet of the Kaohsiung City Symphony Orchestra in 1999, and within a few years, I stumbled into sharpening in an effort to stop the rust from forming on my reed knives. In 2004, I opened shop, and it’s been all downhill from there… B) Now I’m into razors, knives, scissors, dental instruments, and whatever can be sharpened.
So there is no confusion about my role here on this forum, my company is working with Wicked Edge – and I am proud to say that. We supply some of the accessory stones. Some may view me as a salesman here, and that is inherently true, but I am personally involved with the forum as an [strike]obsessed[/strike] avid student of sharpening. Those who know me from other forums know that I am on my own sharpening journey, and am very interested and dedicated in the sharing of knowledge.
Now let’s have some fun! B)
