I’ve posted a photo of this knife grinder at Blois market before but his stall looked so much like an amateur stage set today that I couldn’t resist.
J’ai déjà posté une photo de ce rémouleur au marché de Blois déjà mais son stand faisait tellement décor de théâtre amateur aujourd’hui que je n’ai pas pu résister.

Totally agree.
Yes, it does evoke that.
We have a knife sharpener come to the market in Preuilly, but he just works out of the back of a grey van. I’ve had my knives sharpened by him, and he does a good job, so I’m happy 🙂
One chap knocked on the door to offer his sharpening skills but we could not give any employment as we have a really good DIY thing suckered on the kitchen tiles next to the magnetic knife rack. I don’t think we could go a year plus between getting an edge. Your man has a very fancy folding up fronted shed/trailer.
