itinerant knife grinders
Having seen a great photograph of an itinerant knife grinder, who wheels his gear around the streets, it made me think how easy it was for Jack to keep his knives sharp. Knieves were made of mild steel and needed constant sharpening. Butchers, and others in the meat trades constantly needed sharp knives so an itinerant grinder would have had a good domestic and professional trade and probably would not remember their casual customers.
