Call some of your major hardware chains. Ace Hardware here in
Tampa sharpens knives for about $1.50 each. They have impressive
looking equipment, but I wasn't overly impressed with the results on
my steak knives. I have tried several sharpening systems particularly
stones, but including the Chef's Choice electric. I currently use just
a
(diamond) steel. My knives are cheap (Chicago Cutlery), but
extremely sharp.
