a friend of mine sent me some knives to sharpen, since he can't send them back to Shun again. holy crap. there is 10 years+ of normal use and sharpening removed from some of them, and they all have an erratic curve from heel to tip, with no straight spots at all. they look like they were nibbled, instead of normal grinding, so i'm guessing that some kind of electric knife mangler was used. it's the kind of thing that really needs a belt grinder to fix in any kind of reasonable time frame, i think, so i'm going to suggest he send them to Dave, as i don't have time to fix them by hand.
i had never seen the Shun resharpening and while i would never expect them to be great, i was shocked. i figured they would at least get them close to the factory edge, which isn't completely worthless. i'm not even going to talk about the "refinishing" that was done to the flats of the blades, other than to say it makes me feel very good about my own refinishing work.
