Need to send a nice J knife to the spa -- recommendations?

[gyutorific]

Ugh. I unpacked a nice Japanese gyuto from storage only to find it to have suffered some pitting -- must not have been properly oiled before I put it away for a big move. I tried what I could but my best is just not good enough and at this point I'd just like to send it off to a pro to deal with.

It's been some years since I was on this site (and spending way too much $$$ on Japanese chef knives!) so I'm out of the loop on where to send it -- back in the day it was a guy named Dave and a guy named Ken, but I can't seem to find them online now.

Recommendations? I'm on the far north coast of California, but obviously can ship wherever.

Thanks!

What kind of knife?

Japanese Knife Imports and Bernal Cutlery are in your area.

Bernal is probably the closest, yeah -- about a 3.5-hour drive down to the SF Bay Area from me, but I'll see if they do it by mail. JKI is in LA -- about an 11-hour drive -- looks like they sometimes do it by mail. Thanks for the tips!

If you don't mind shipping across the country, District Cutlery in Washington, DC does great work.
