Recommendation? Mirror edge sharpening service in Canada

[Forcite]

I was hoping someone could recommend a sharpening service to me in Canada. I'm looking for someone who works with tough steels (e.g. ZDP), does mirror polishes, and preferably uses a guided system.

I've done a bit of searching and most of the recommendations I found were no longer active. I did find Peter Nowlan, but he does his sharpening freehand.

Apologies if I'm just poor at searching and this has been posted a ton of times.

Thanks!

It's easy enough to get a guided system and the appropriate hones and do it yourself. As for freehand, an angle guide that clamps onto the spine of the blade accomplishes the same thing as a guided system and is a lot more versatile, IMHO. You can find several makes of clamps online -- I use an ancient BuckMaster (no longer in production) but there are newer ones available.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually am pretty decent with my KME and waterstones. This is more a matter of being short on time

It takes me about 2 hours to get this finnish on my KME with Lapping films and if the knife is already sharp it cuts the time down to an hour. Just sayin

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

I normally do my own edges. Here is the edge I put on my Small Sebenza yesterday.

I'm outsourcing a Caly 3 in ZDP I want brought down from 22 DPS to 15. I suspect that will take a little longer... but hey, different strokes for different folks.
