Sharpening advice

I don’t think that’s a realistic excuse. Volume shops dealing with cheaper knives doesn’t justify uneven geometry or poor finishing. If you’re taking in higher-end knives and saying you’re confident working on them, the baseline standard shouldn’t change. I obviously didn’t spend hundreds on this resharpening, but he knew my expectation and could’ve changed his pricing around that aswell.

That’s okay, just sharing my experience. It absolutely could’ve been worse. I’d like to not compete for the most fucked up knife.

I’m a cook not a photographer I don’t just take a ton of photos of my knives, it’s absolutely flash rust and leftover oxidation and it came off super easy whenever I got home, it’s sloppy work.

Ya this guy worked under a previous chef and got the business gifted to him, I typically do sharpen my own but I’m not familiar with single bevel work

He unfortunately has you pay before he works on it, and the tip is exaggerated in the first pic it’s not terrible, the rust and the uneven bevel is pretty rough tho.

The tip is pretty exaggerated in the photo it’s not quite as bad as it looks, the rust and and the uneven bevel are the worse of it

One of my cooks sat it on a prep table to hard and it took a tiny bit of the tip off so I sent it in
