Knife Sharpening

by Ken B » Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:51 pm

So I took my knives out to Heinerdinger's to have them sharpened, but they do not do it while you wait. Anyone know of a cutlery locally that will do that?

Not any more, unless you want to trust your expensive German cutlery to some guy who works at the Kroger meat counter to throw it on a grinder :roll:

If you're in a hurry, then buy one of those motorized Chef Master sharpening machines.

Having Mr. Hiemerdinger (Who I think still works one day a week) sharpen, hone and polish your blades is well worth the time, effort and expense.

I have mine done annually because; I can use a steel and a stone to sharpen my work tools but, I like to get them done at Hiemerdinger's because they hone and polish my knives and I don't know how to do it like they do.

It's also really cool to open your knives in the newspaper that they wrap them in to preserve that shine and polish! It's like Christmas to a chef!

Absolutely love Hiemerdingers! I take my knives there routinely. I almost do most of my Christmas shopping there1

How long does it take Hiemerdingers to turn around a knife?

When I drop my stuff off, it normally takes three to four days. Well worth the wait. Plus its just a neat place to look around,they have all kinds of cool stuff in there.

Heimerdinger's really do a great job. I don't know of any place, (other than Kroger) that will sharpen while you wait. Good Luck!

Took my trusty Wusthof to Heimerdinger's several months ago. The lady behind the counter asked me if I was a chef. I told her I would like to think so ! I fessed up and told her I was just your average home cook. She then proceeded to tell me that they give professional chefs a little faster turnaround. I told her no problem. They had my knife ready in about 4 days and it was sharper than the day I bought it.

Not sure I remember, but I'm thinking it was $9.00 for a 8" Chef's knife.
