Well shucks! So glad you like them. Was really nice to meet you! Those MAC knives are really a joy to sharpen :) I've noticed it's really hard to find sharpening services that don't involve someone putting a mediocre edge on your knife using a machine. Manual sharpening with water stones creates an amazing edge. Most places won't do it, because it takes much much more time and care than a machine.

If there are any other folks who want to give my services a go, shoot me a DM. Will give same deal as I gave OP. Suggested fee is $10/knife/pair of kitchen shears. If the knife needs tip repair, major chips, etc., a few bucks more would be appreciated!

You can shoot me a Venmo after you bring them home and decide whether or not my services met/exceeded expectations. If you find yourself unimpressed, no payment necessary and no hard feelings!

Very cool! I have heard rave reviews about their edge retention.

Totally understand! I have a couple hand forged Japanese knives that are really hard to come by that I wouldn’t trust with anybody (including myself) except a master sharpener. I’m no master, but I think I’m pretty darn good haha. Most of the knives I sharpen are Shun/Wustof-grade or below.

Send me a DM if you decide you want to drop them off!

Hey there. I make and sharpen knives as a hobby. The problem you run into is that most places use machines so they can crank through lots of knives. They do a decent job but they will not get your knives “scary sharp”. I’ve been toying with the idea of selling my services.

I use a pretty expensive manual sharpening system that puts a precise angle and a mirror edge on your knife using high-end Japanese water stones. Happy to sharpen your knives for you this weekend if you’d like. You can Venmo me what it’s worth to you after you get home and try them out. Not happy? Don’t pay a cent :)
