BR / LP Knife sharpening

Anyone have a recommendation for someone I can drop off a couple of kitchen knives to for them to put a like-new edge on? Spare me the self-help advice.....my sharpening skills are proven to be far from sharp. Preference on the I-12 side of town or LP.

Buy a Work Sharp. Super easy.

I asked this question a while back. I bought mine to Sur La Table in Perkins Rowe and they did a great job for about $5/knife.

The pros use belt sanders to sharpen. The Work Sharp is a mini belt sander and it's super easy to use and can be had for $70. Downvote if you wish.

If you go the work sharp route, be careful. That sucker will round a knife tip with the quickness if you’re not careful.

You only learn by doing.
And you only do by thinking you can.

Brother's Ace Hardware on Millerville between I-12 and S. Harrell's Ferry does sharpening.

I was told that a work sharp is no Bueno for higher end knives. No idea if there's any truth to that or not.

Whomever does it needs to pay close attention to the manufs original bevel. Most German knives are 22°, most Japanese are 15-18°. To get an idea of the bevel, take a piece of paper and fold diagonally. That gives you 45°. Fold again and you have a 22.5° bevel. Close enough for government work. Fold the 45 into equal thirds and you have 15°. Keep in mind that a steel doesn't hone a knife it only straightens the blade.
