Central Market does it for 50 cents per inch

Before sending your knives out, you might want to take a look at our very own eGullet Culinary Institute class on Knife Maintenance and Sharpening. Even if after reading you still decide to have a pro do it, at least you'll have a better idea what you want.

Take care,

Thanks all, it looks like pete's is $1 per knife so it should end up being cheaper than CM.

I'll try them this weekend.

Years ago I tried a knife sharpening shop for my nice Wuesthof and Henckels knives. Won't do that again. One place really "butchered" the knives.

Get one of the Chef's Choice machines. I think the may cost about $100. They work very nicely, and they're safe for the knives.
