As the holidays get closer, I figured I'd better get the kitchen
knives sharpened. I haven't sharpened knives in years!

I called a couple places and they want $6.50 per knife regardless of
size. One wants $85 min. if they come to the house.

Another shop had a price of $5.00 for large and $3.00 for small.

Both sound a little high for me. I have about 10-15 with most
considered large that I'd like sharpened. So I might end up just
getting one large sharpened and use it for the next couple months.
Should stay sharp I hope.

l know nothing of store sharpeners, such as type, price, etc.
Any other suggestions?

I'm in the San Jose area

I only know of the knife sharpening service periodically provided at
Cooking Etc. in Willow Glen (Lincoln at Minnesota). They'll be there
this weekend and next. Call 279-4631 for pricing.

As far as home use, we use a cheap, handheld Chef's Choice sharpener.
