A Dying Profession: Hand Crafted and Sharpened Knives

The rear wheel of the bicycle is unhooked from the gears and a belt connects the axle and the grinding wheel in front of the bike. The sharpener pedals the bike at the pace he desires for the sharpening, which varies with each blade and throughout each sharpening, much like a variable speed pedal controls the speed of an electric sewing machine.

This is a dying profession and it is not easy to find these even in some parts of India.
