Where to get Kitchen Knives sharpened

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

A long time ago there was a mobile sharpener who rode a scooter though this was in a neighboring city to mine, Oak Park, which was Ferndale...

Surely he was only open to residents there (& expected to pay for his parking at the meters there, as I saw the scooter parked in a municipal lot, when not roving ti and from his appointments), so over all these years I don't much know what became of him and his services, except for that great era long ago...

Mobile knife guy;

I remember too Dave! An egg truck also came around the neighborhood. Today an Oberweise dairy truck came through. Schwan's is about the only other you see, except the occasional one selling meat and half sides of beef.
 
Bought one of these kits .........

a Chinese knockoff kit for half the price about 8 years ago and use this to sharpen my own knives. Most of my old knives needed the edge reshaped from years of hard use and this thing works great. After a 10 minute pass with this kit your blades will be factory fresh and can shave with them. Once you get an old knife back up to par after using this the first time, each resharpening only takes a minute or two, where you only have to use the finest #3 stone to maintain the edge.  Well worth the $30 bucks for the knockoff brand and works just as well as the Lansky brand.

 

 
We have a place called New England Sharpening Service. I imagine they are a franchise and should be around different areas. They will sharpen anything that cuts, scissors, knives, axes, chain saws, mower blades etc. Maybe check around your area to see if they are any located near you. Have used them a number of times for different items and they all come back better than new.

Thanks for everybody's input

So... I took the coward's way out... for now.

I went to Walmart and bought a few knives for about $1.50 each.

I have a high-end butcher's shop and they say they'll sharpen them for free, so that comes later in the week.
