Birmingham Serious Knife Sharpening

[armstwa]

Does anyone know anyone in the area that does a good job sharpening knives? I'm not talking running it through an electric sharpener or the like. I have a Japanese chef's knife and a waterstone, but my needs a small chip repair. I'm trying to avoid mailing it to a Murray Carter or something. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It's been a while since I spent any serious time in the Kitchen Knife forums but, you might want to check with the people here: http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/sho...

There are quit a few professional knife sharpeners who have the specialized skill to repair your knife. Be sure whoever you take it to has experience with Japanese knives.
