$25 for knife sharpening by Bernal Cutlery!

Bernal Cutlery specializes in creating razor sharp edges using wet grinding techniques and finishing by hand, using Japanese whetstonesand a modified version of the old fashioned barber’s strop. We can adjust the bevel or pitch of the blade to suit your particular needs. Not only are edges produced in this fashion extremely sharp, they are much longer lasting. Dry grinders and belts take away much more metal than necessary; and if done in a hurry will quickly produce enough heat to ruin the blade. In addition, Bernal Cutlery uses no wire wheels that create unnecessary scratches. Using high-powered machines with coarse abrasives to sharpen is like using sandpaper to brush your teeth. Sharpening by hand is an investment in a longer life for your knives and tools.
