Has anybody used somebody like
Blade And Butler? and sent their knives away to be sharpened?
I have a set of knives that are Japanese VG10 Damascus steel with a Rockwell Hardness of 59-60. They are sharpened to a double bevel 15 degree angle and I would be reluctant to use a pull through sharpener that would compromise this. I can’t help but wonder whether it would be better to get them professionally sharpened when they reach the point that it needs doing. It would cost almost £50 to get 5 knives sharpened but,to me,that seems a reasonable price versus potentially buggering them up.
Am I being overly cautious or does this seem a reasonable position to take?
