    Default Knife Sharpening

    I tried to DIY... ruined a knife, at least it was a cheapy... I do have a EDC that I would like sharpened though (which is why I tried the cheapy first).

    Is there a place in Fountain/Springs that will sharpen a knife for me? Expected cost? It is a half clean/half serrated edge.

    Thanks,
    T

    There is a place on West Colorado avenue, near old Colorado city called prince of blades. He does a pretty good sharpening for around 8.50 (that's what he charged me a couple years ago.

    There is also a knife store (the naked edge) (or used to anyway) in the chapel hills mall on the north side. I haven't been to this one in a few years, but their price was about the same as the other one.

    My knifes are also half serrated, and they seem to be able to do a decent job even with the serrations.

    I have a Lansky system about the size of a pocket knife that works really well.

    The Spyderco sharpeners are easy to use and will sharpen a sweated blade. Just a thought.

    Not trying to be a dick, but anyone who owns a knife but can't sharpen it might need to reconsider owning a knife.

    Thats what my wife uses. Works really well if your willing to put in the time and effort. Easy to use while watching a movie or need to pass some time.

    You probably didn't ruin the knife. Sharpening takes some practice and can be tricky to learn.

    Thanks for posting that ^^.

    I need something to potentially sharpen my work knife every day. I cut a lot of carpet and pad samples, and dragging the knife over concrete usually does a good job of blunting the blade.
