Where do you get your good knives sharpened? The yellow pages or google is finding me nothing (and since Chesseapeke closed their MA locations I don't know where to go).

sometimes if a knife has never been sharpened, or abused, removing more steel than just a touchup and/or maintainance might be required...

i have everything from ceramic flats, sticks, diamond enhanced doo dads, and stuff, and i agree that a well maintained knife takes mere minutes, but then sometimes the ritual takes hours when you have a *few* working knives. enter the machine - on of the common 3 stage deals, the rough stage is almost never needed, nor hte medium. the fine buffing stage pretty much does the job, except on friend's horribly mutilated knives, or sometimes camping knives that get a lot of tree chopping done to.

plus i figured with kitchen/etc going out of biz sale, the machine was on super markdown anyway. seems to do a nice enough job.
