Great!! We used to have a knife sharpening shop here in our town, but it went the way of most small businesses...it's a shame really, and I'm glad to see that there are parts of the world where expertise still counts, and people service what they sell!

wow, all those knives, spinning things, more knives and bare feet!!!!! lol, an accident waiting to happen, however, i guess he is an expert in knife sharpening though, but here, he would not be able to do that without protective clothes and goggles, and saftey boots, and insurance, blah blah blah.... lol, i wish our life was as simple as yours sometimes.
Reminds me of mobile knife sharpeners as well, moving from one place to another with their big sharpener resting on their shoulders. I remember having one kitchen-knife done. It was one of the unique experiences kids/people in advanced countries never have.
Great photo, Sayed! I love to see people working with their hands and I'm glad that these little shops are around. It looks like a place the men go to talk about the events of the day too. A very good human interest image and well done.
The government of tyrants cannot last long because it is hateful to the multitude, and what is against the wishes of the multitude cannot long be preserved.

Ouch!! He's really worrying me getting his foot so close to the grinding wheel like that. Are you sure he's not filing his toenails? Very nice 'slice of life' shot.
