NC Local Sharpeners

[whitey529]

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone knew of local gun/knife retail stores in the Triangle area that offer sharpening services and have high reguard and positive feedback from bladeforum members or other knife communitys. I recently had a job done at Davi's and was not too impressed. Thanks again!

Just a quick tip... virtually nobody here will recommend a commercial knife sharpening service; instead, they'll tell you to get a kit and do it yourself.

The common recommendations, in no particular order, are Lansky/Gatco, Spyderco Sharpmaker, and Edge Pro.

The Jan. 2008 "Blade" magazine had an article on the longer "Jewelstik 1-2-3", and the shorter "Flipstik 1-2-3". They have 3 grades of diamond material in each tube shape sharpener,......and i'm planning on picking up the shorter version soon.

I would be using it on a Spec Bump and ZT 200 mostly,......and according to the article these are the kinds of blades these sharpeners are meant for. (article shows it used on a Kershaw Offset)

Anyway,.....wondered if anyone has used these yet,......and are they happy with it?

I've never known anyone who paid someone to sharpen his knife. Sounds like this might be a good time for you to buy a 2 x 6 or a 2 x 8 DMT (brand) bench stone with a diamond dust impregnated surface, and then start learning how to sharpen a knife freehand. It takes a little practice and attention to detail, but it isn't rocket science.

Beck's Cutlery in Cary at McGregor Downs shopping center off of Tryon Rd/64.
They do nice work, nice shop as well.
