Knife sharpening service in Carrboro/Chapel Hill area
I got a rocker knife from Amazon and while I had some inkling I was going to need to sharpen it, it doesn't just need to be sharpened - it's not just dull, it's totally BLUNT.
This is going to take somebody with a vise grip and a file. I've bought shovels off the rack that were sharper than this. In fact taking it to a tool sharpening service may actually be the better choice.
Once upon a time I could have done this myself but I no longer have the tools or the manual dexterity.
Does anyone know of sharpening services in the area?

I can recommend Kitchenworks too. I take my knife sets over there about twice a year.

Unless they have to service several other customers they will do it while you wait. Unlike Southern Season who sends the knives out for sharpening, they do the sharpening themselves so even if you have to leave it they will be ready for pick up the next day. They also charge 50 cents per inch for sharpening rather than a set price per knife, which is much more fair pricing. Lastly, judging by eye it looks like they take off very little of the blade when sharpening. Even though I have a high end Chefs Choice sharpener I still like to take my knives there at least once a year for a "tune up,"
