Knife Sharpening
 

Hello, I'm new here and just wanted to know if there is a professional knife sharpener locally? I have some chef knifes I need a new edge on.

Lots of times you can send them back to manufacture
For reconditioning

Check at Ace Hardware.

Lady Lake Farmers Market has a guy that sharpens knives. It's on the Southbound side of 441/27.

The Market of Marion has a knife sharpening guy. This is Saturday & Sunday only.

Sonny on CR 121 has a Sharpening business. Ace Hardware recommended him to me. Phone number 352-748-2926 and leave a message. He did all my knives and sealed my knife block, as well as my son's knives and block.

I've mentioned this in a prior thread, but it's worth restating... That guy ruined my expensive Henckels chef's knives that I've had for decades..

I wouldn't use him for chef knives. I had to send my knives off to be reconditioned. They were practically scalloped.

Thanks for the info. I've never used the guy at MOM. I've just walked by his booth. I have Wusthof Classic I sharpen myself.

I am jealous. I think I need to shop for a good knife. The ones I now have, you could ride to town and back and feel comfortable.

Henckel and Wustoff you say???

Much more than just putting on a grinding wheel. Need to make sure the edge angles are correct. Most of the local sharpeners never even look at the angle.

Good experiences with Lady Lake Farmers Mkt guy
 

1st Tuesday of the month. Each knife is $5. Had all our Henckels sharpened then 3 months later had two sharpened again because we use them frequently. Very satisfied with his work - he has different sharpening belts depending the task and is knowledgeable. He recognized our great grandmother's carbon steel knife before I laid it on the table.

We just bought ceramic knives, never need sharpening, most are over 4 years old and still very sharp. I do sharpen my own knives, scissors, saws, etc., but ceramic knives are great.

This is an interesting thread, but does anyone else not want a knife to be too sharp? I would be afraid of cutting a finger off. I have a wood block with 8 knives, but I find that the 5 inch blade will cut just about anything a need to cut. When it gets too dull, I slide it across the sharpening rod a few times.
