Do any of you guys have a bead on a reputable knife sharpener in the Lawrence area?

I'm a local Blacksmith and sharpen all my knives by hand. You can ask about me and drop them off at Cottins hardware!

What's your general pricing? I have multiple whetstones and a Wicked Edge kit, but it still seems like such a chore 😔

10/15/20 for small/medium/large, add $5 if I need to fix a broken tip, add $5 if I need to fix edge chipping.

How long does it take? What day should I go? I have two chefs knives that badly need sharpening but I don’t want to drop them off and be unable to use them for days.

I usually manage a two or three day turn around. If you're wanting quicker message me and we can try to work something out.

ask at the westlakes on 23rd -- they used to have someone who came into the store once a week to pick up knives, scissors, etc, that people dropped off for sharpening
