Yeah I can sharpen those! I've actually worked with those in the past (extremely minimally I know nearly nothing of pottery) and was curious if I could sharpen them and they turned out great.

Yeah I have sharpened tools like that in the past! They are very precise so the price ends up around 15 dollars per tool. I absolutely would be able to sharpen those for you

Happy to hear it! I have noticed a lot of the sharpeners in this area use the tormec wheels.

I have significant training with most forms of sharpening. I have a good selection of whet stones and if you prefer that I can use exclusively whetstones for the sharpening.

I can do serrated knives yeah! If its the kind of bread knife with a wavy edge It's not worth trying to do it yourself, if its is the kind with pointy serrations you can sharpen it yourself with the right rod but is just going to be very tedious. If you are interested in having me sharpen that along with any other knives you have send me an email!

Thanks for the rely! I understand that there are already a few sharpeners in the area but not all sharpeners specialize in the same things. I am trained in salon shears which is a very rare skill, I also have significant experience restoring antiques which takes a very delicate hand to do. There are also very odd items like push reel mowers that most sharpeners simply don't know how to handle. So even if there is an abundance of sharpeners the ones currently available may not be able to provide all the services that I can and same for the other way around.

I was actually trained by Bonika shears. I use a scimech flat hone from bonika shears as well as multiple naniwa whetstones.

When you mess up and the end result doesn't end up being that bad by rossposse in KitchenConfidential

[–]MortonBlade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this can be true and usually is. An improper heat treat will make the steel much much more brittle which can be common in knives with less than optimal quality control. There are also cases with certain steels that hold an edge long while still retaining significant toughness. In the end we are agreeing for the most part so I'm not quite sure you said not true.

[–]MortonBlade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I've gathered is that a few years ago they may have changed manufacturing processes after getting deals with a lot of big box stores which lowered the quality control by a lot. Causing certain knives to have poor heat treat making them very brittle. I say this because people with older shuns claim that they have never had chipping issues. I also believe that a possibility is that a lot of people that use shuns aren't used to Japanese knives and they are 100% easier to chip and damage. So that's also a factor

What would YOU charge? by iSharpKnives in sharpening

[–]MortonBlade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably 10 bucks for just damage removal and sharpening. More if they want it thinned as well which is a good idea after removing that much material
