D. Martell The minimum I can do....

When someone sends in their expensive knife for sharpening the first time I'm pretty sure that they're nervous about what could happen. I get it - I'd feel the same way if the roles were reversed.

Here's a typical sharpening job that I did this afternoon, nothing special, just a clean up and sharpen - the minimum that I know how to do.

I hope this helps a potential customer to ease their mind of worries.

Nice looking blade Dave!

Thanks Danny

That speaks volumes about both your skill and your sensibilities.

Kudos, Dave :thumbsup:

Your minimum is way more than my minimum. Very nice Dave.

It actually is a little off at the curve but it was like that from the maker. I always blame the maker. :wink:

Very nice Dave!

FWIW - Sent a couple of recent B/S/T purchases to Dave ... a 240 Devin ITK AEB-L, 240 Kono ZDP-189 ... didn't feel up to the challenge of getting them 'right' not truly knowing what "right" was since this is the first time I had seen these particular gyuto's ...

From start to finish - communication, oversight and perfect screaming edges the experience was excellent! This was my first, but certainly not last, business I will do with him. I might add that he was able to turn them around in remarkable time (even though I told him there was no rush) given that he was only just recently settled in the new place.

I also needed a Masamoto Honesuki "fixed" since the grind was very poor when I received it (& not worth returning) and I can honestly say that it is now perfect!

Thanks again - TjA

It's that contaminated well water they have in PA. It slowly drives you crazy. "Here's Johnny, .... " :muahaha:
