Knife Sharpening

[Pale Rider]

Been some time since I needed outside help with this, but a man has to know his limitations. I have two custom fixed blades that need some love. Any recommendations for who can do the work?

Thanks

There's a guy at Profire on some Saturdays that sharpens on a Wicked Edge. He does outstanding work and is quite reasonably priced. I'd call them and see when he'll be there next.

I do most my of my own sharpening on a Spyderco Sharpmaker, but if I need a custom angle or have an edge that's beyond my capabilities I'll pay someone.

chez speaks of INGO member nova512. He is my go to for knife sharpening. If I could post a pic of the ~mirror~ finish edge on my CRKT M16-13z I would. People talk about their knives having a "Rob sharp" edge, they're not kidding. You have to be careful with knives he works on.

Highly recommended.

There used to be a member named Tyler who did awesome work sharpening. I haven't seen him on here forever but if he's still doing it I'd recomend him.
does nova 512 set up anywhere other than profire?

INGO'r "7.62" is the guy Brad and Sheila recommend. I think he's out in Greenfield near them though.

I don't believe nova512 is affiliated with profire other than the let him set up there to draw in business. For some reason, I think he has set up at USDS before as well. You might check with them.

I need to take my Japanese kitchen knives to him soon.

He was setting up at Parabellum second Saturday of the month when the Profire guys were there along with Mike the molded earplug guy. Personally I give both of them for outstanding work. The knife edge looks like it's been chromed when he gets done and I never thought I would say this but the ear plugs with the filters that Mike makes seem to work even better than electronic muffs..

What's the best way to get the knives to you and so you mind sharing your rates?

I have a Wustof 7" Santuko and 9" slicer (straight edge) along with a couple of fixed blade hunting knives and few folders that need more skill than I.

Thank you,

I take all mine to nova512 as well. I've never had a knife sharper than when he is done with it. A mirror edge and a blade that will make air bleed.

If you are up north, Looking Sharp in Auburn, IN is a great guy and does a great job. Travels within about 50 miles of Auburn with his mobile sharpening business.

I can meet on the west side anytime, directly after work I can meet a little further east , I work near downtown. You can drop them off at profire any day you like.turn around 95% of the time is next day.unless other work is needed , I fix moderately broke off blade tips as well. Kitchen knives up to 10" is $5 every sharpening. All other knives 1- 4" no I dont use a tape measure lol if its close its 5. $1 dollar refresh unless you try to sharpen it or damage the blade badly. Knives over 4-10" is $10 , 2 dollar refresh. Same rules apply.Knives over that size most generally $15.this is a hobby of mine I love doing it .when I sharpen a knife I do it like I would carry it , so I stand by my work ethic. I also do the cerakote at profire. I am a trained jeweler and offer jewelry repair work.

I live in Noblesville also. I make custom kitchen cutlery and fixed blades.
If you would like more info or if I can be of service, feel free to PM me.

Knife sharpening that makes air bleed I like the sound of that!

 

[nova512]

guys , its a game to me . how sharp can i make it. some knives take up to 2 hours. i dont charge extra. when i worked for the custom jewelry stores i use to refinish antique , and busted up jewelry along with refinishing Rolex's its turning it back to new or being useful again. so its the same thing with knives i really enjoy seeing a oh $#it look on the faces when they feel the edge. (or redoing grandpas old pocket knife ) per say.

 

[Drail]

Oh yes, that look. I used to love that.

 

[xdmdude]

I can vouch for nova he put a wicked edge on my infidel and 0550.
