Kershaw factory edge...

[jackstraw42]

I've heard that Kershaw will resharpen your knives to the factory edge for the cost of postage. I have two questions regarding this service:

1) Do they offer the same service for Kitchen knives(9900, Wasabi, etc...)?

2) Will they still sharpen a folder if it was re-profiled at some point?

The only postage cost is you sending it to them. They cover it coming back. :thumbup:

1) Do they offer the same service for Kitchen knives(9900, Wasabi, etc...)?

Yes, they do.

There are three basic options for sharpening your Shun knives. First, your best option is to send the knives back to the Kai USA facility in Portland, Oregon. At the Portland facility, we can restore the factory edge to your blade for the life of the knife, at no cost to you aside from mailing the knife to us. Just make sure you include a return address and telephone number so we can contact you if needed.

To have your knives sharpened, send them to:

Kai USA
Attention warranty
18600 SW Teton
Tualatin, OR 97062

The other 2 options are buying an electric sharpener and doing it yourself or take them to a professional to have them done.
I recommend doing the 1st option.

2) Will they still sharpen a folder if it was re-profiled at some point?

Not sure about that one. You could contact them and ask.
