Cleaning restaurant floor for $1000 per night

My dad pays a guy to come to his house in a van and sharpen his fishing knives in the driveway. He fishes a few times a week and has quite a few knives. I was surprised at the price he paid (although I forget exactly what it was), but he only does it a couple of times a year (I assume due to his large knife collection).

The guy has all the equipment in his van and does everything on site, and it's his full time job. We're a coastal town with year-round fishing, and the guy apparently makes a decent living because of that.

I cook a lot and I like having sharp knives (makes keeping all of my fingers easier). I get mine sharpened every few months and pay about $5/knife at a mom-and-pop sharpening shop. I could learn to sharpen them, but it's not very much fun, and for $5/knife, there's really no reason other than having an extra bit of knowledge.
