Sharp Edge in Sandton is gone :(
To my dismay Sharp Edge Sharp Shooter has been sold to B&T.
I had a lot of fond memories of that store, I used to sneak out of St David's and go drool over the knives and talk crap to Mr Gordon.
How times changes, and not always for the best.

That sucks!! I use to go there as a kid when my mother went shopping, I would spend the whole day in that store!
The owner literally wouldn’t mind a 10 year old kid in the shop for 3 straight hours just drooling over everything! Especially the swords

Half the fun of shopping at Sandton City was visiting sharp edge, even if just to browse.

The store was not sold.
The lease on the Sandton store was due for renewal along with a clause requiring a major refurb of the store. Stan crunched the numbers and was still undecided before the lockdown. Once that hit it was a no brainer to move out of the centre and concentrate on on-line sales.
But the retail store is still there. Sharp Edge have built a beautiful destination store at their wholesale office in Waverley, it's really worth a visit. It's a 5 minute drive from Melrose Arch.
