Combined Saw & Knife, Deception Bay, QLD

Combined Saw and Knife is a proudly family owned and operated saw sharpening business, located in the northern suburbs of outer Brisbane. Originally Stott's Saws until mid 2001, CSK evolved when it was decided the company required an update and name change. From the 1st July 2006 the business name changed from MCA & The Saw Doctor Co to Combined Saw & Knife Pty Ltd ATF The CSK Trust. Part owner and highly experienced Saw Doctor Jim Flanjak, completed his apprenticeship in 1991 and has been working in the industry ever since. Liz Flanjak, also part owner, has had many years experience in the administration sector, specifically in Management of Office Administration. The couples passion for quality work and excellent customer service has no doubt been a contributing factor to the rapid growth of the company. In April 2008, due to rapid growth and the businesses need to expand, they relocated to it's purpose built factory in Kabi Cct, Deception Bay. In November 2008 CSK purchased the sharpening division of Ravinvic Enterprises, enabling the company to offer Computerised Water Based High Speed Steel sharpening and re-toothing of blades. CSK considers their staff to be their most valuable resource and encourage innovative and original ideas that come with staff contribution. The employment of each individual is an important factor in the growth of the company and endeavor to supply all their employees with optimal working conditions, ongoing support and focused direction. CSK currently has 7 floor staff working hard servicing their client's products, 3 delivery drivers ensuring clients products are picked up and returned as quickly as possible and 3 administration staff tending to front of house, answering enquiries and dealing with all that paperwork! Over the years CSK has found 'Saw Doctors' are a very scarce breed! As a result they are proud to offer a 3 year apprenticeship on a yearly basis to those interested in the industry.
