Sometimes you need the pros

This is a shout out to the fellows at District Cutlery, who made my damaged Kagekiyo 240 like new again, kept it super thin and took off a minimal amount of metal. Somehow I even managed to walk away without buying a new knife, not sure how I managed that.

What they fixed:

That does beg for an 'after' shot

Still 50mm height at the heel.

They have really come into their own the last few years -- it's great to see. Hopefully we'll see at least one of them at the ECG.

They are also in a really cool spot, it is one of those great halls filled with many small food stalls and kiosks. I was able to take them my damaged knife, grab a bowl of gumbo, and pick up the knife after lunch was over. I was expecting them to ship it back to me, so this was a pleasant surprise as I was only in DC a short time.

They really do great work. I bought a knife that came with a chipped heel and they fixed it perfectly. Can't even tell it was ever chipped.

That's not a chip. That's a chip.

A friend's knife that their partner messed up trying to karate chop frozen ground beef. I don't have an after shot yet. But I dropped it off with DC yesterday. We'll see what they come up with.

That was amazing work, nice 'afterlife' suji.
