Project description
I run a busy home kitchen and cook for my family almost every day, and over the last year my knives have gotten noticeably dull — chopping vegetables and slicing meat has become slower and more dangerous than it should be. I'm looking for an experienced mobile knife sharpening technician who can come to my location with their own equipment and put a full set of kitchen knives back into proper working condition.
The set includes a chef's knife, a paring knife, a bread knife, a boning knife, and a couple of utility knives, plus one heavier cleaver that I use for poultry. I don't have any sharpening tools of my own beyond a basic honing rod, so the technician should bring whatever stones, belts, or machines they normally use, along with anything needed to protect my countertops and floor from metal shavings. I'd like the blades brought to a consistent, safe edge appropriate for each knife type rather than a single generic angle for everything.
I'm flexible on scheduling during weekday afternoons or weekend mornings, and I can provide a well-lit space with access to water and an electrical outlet if needed. Please quote a price for the full set and let me know roughly how long the visit will take.
What I need done:
— Inspect each knife and recommend the right edge angle and finish
— Sharpen and hone the full set, including the cleaver
— Remove any nicks, rust spots, or handle wobble if minor repair is possible
— Test each blade for sharpness before leaving and give basic care tips
— Clean up any metal dust or residue from the work area
