Rates
The rates for sharpening are $2.00 per inch for kitchen knives plus a $5.00 per total order service charge for shipped orders, whether you're shipping three or thirty knives.
Broken tips can be reground and repaired for an additional cost of $10.00. If the tip is bent, I will attempt to straighten it. If it breaks in the course of straightening, I will repair it at an additional cost of $10.00. Only about 1 out of 20 knives break while straightening, so the odds are good that it won't need an additional repair.
There is no charge for straightening a bent tip, unless, of course, it breaks. Please call or email me with any questions you may have.
60 days after notification that knives are done, knives still at the shop will begin to incur a storage fee of 50 cents per knife, per day.

Repair/Maintenance
When a knife has been sharpened many times, sharpening is concentrated only at the edge. Eventually, the blade edge will become "chunky" and will need to be "thinned out."
This process entails bringing the edge bevel up the side of the knife much further than is typical, essentially thinning the whole blade so that it can perform at optimal efficiency. The process is time-consuming and takes considerable knowledge and skill to perform correctly.
If I feel that it is necessary for your knife, I will call you in advance of this procedure to be sure you are comfortable with the added cost. If thinning is recommended, the cost will be substantially less than the cost of replacing the knife, and it will be well worth the investment.
