Our History
In 1909 Ferrari emigrated from Italy to New York, where he lived and worked for two years before returning back to his former home in Italy to marry his wife, Margherita “Margaret” Cereghini. In 1913 he returned with his new wife to the Detroit area where they lived in an apartment near the Eastern Market. During that time, Mr. Ferrari worked under the name of Mario Binell East where all the sharpening was done on the spot. Butchers and Chefs would give the sharpener their knives and they would be sharpened in the truck while at the establishment. James literally brought his grinding wheel by backpack from Italy and that very grinding wheel is still proudly displayed in our Mt. Clemens building. James worked that way for a few years until he saved enough money to buy a home on Strasburg Street near 6 Mile and Gratiot. There he set up the grinding wheel in his basement and sharpened under the name Ferrari & Lorenseti Grinding.
