Where to get knives sharpened - CT

As per title.
Southern suburbs or cbd based places preferred.
Please don't suggest I do it myself; I do for other knives, but I want this one done properly.

A sporting goods store that sells knives should be able to put you in touch with a local knife maker who does professional knife sharpening.

Take them to your local butcher and give him the puppy-dog face.

Knives sharpened in 5 minutes for free. Make friends with him and he'll do it whenever you need.

You might not be interested in doing it yourself but I have this and I've no need to have my knives professionally sharpened. The Warthog V-Sharp. This sharpens all my knives perfectly.

That looks like a device designed to torture people.

Does circumcisions as well ... any takers. I got given one as a gift and at first I was doubtful it would work. Now I use it all the time. You can reverse the blades to polish/finish your blades. Also can set angles which is handy for my Victorinox knives.

Where might one obtain this device?
Although I would just prefer to get it done properly rather than adding another device to the shelves. Since it only needs sharpening after 2-3 years of daily use.

Any descent knife shop. iWarehouse has them as well. About R550 when I checked prices two weeks.

I got mine as a gift from my brother in law who has an obsession with knives.

Wusthof

Nice.

I wanted to originally replace ours with Wusthof but since the maid and wife use them I decided Victorianox.

Nothing beats proper knives in the kitchen.

I'm tempted to get Wusthof for when I build my outdoor man kitchen. I follow the rule of only needing one 20cm Chefs (or Cooks) knife and then paring knife in the kitchen at home. You really don't need anything more than that.

Chef's Warehouse at the top of Bree St sharpens knives. They also sell a range of high-end brands.

Yep, I do the same. 1 decent Chef's Knife (although I went for the 18cm I think - little hands) and cheaper paring knives and serrated small knives (have some Victorinox in there). And a bread knife I never use. Haven't needed anything else.

Awesome; thanks. I've been meaning to check them out, now I have a reason to go there.
