ABOUT US

HMS Enterprises has been in business since 1998

Harrelson "Hap" Stanley started off his dream selling woodworking tools from Japan. Hap started selling Shapton-Stones in 2002.

He began traveling around the entirety of the United States by motor home, selling Shapton Stones to a new market that had almost forgotten whet-stones.

Since reigniting the Sharpening Stone market in the United States, Hap has created his own woodworking Honing jig known as the Sharp Skate. A revolution in the world of woodworking, Hap Stanley has become known far and wide for his skill and knowledge in the world of Sharpening.

Today HMS Enterprises continues to work in the Sharpening and woodworking community of the world through Hap's new company Nano Hone
