Are your knives so dull they'll hardly dice an onion, much less shave thin slices off a tomato? If so, you need to meet Woody, pronto. He'll lovingly fix up your knives using the Bob Kramer (official American knife god) method, and he'll give you a really thorough lesson in how to maintain those lovely edges once they're restored - one that actually is practical and does not refer to magical angles you'll never achieve. You will go home and find things to chop up even if you did eat dinner out somewhere, because he'll have you totally excited about knives. He works at the Oregon Culinary Institute, is a wonderful guy, and seriously, what he does to your sorry old knives will make you sad you didn't meet him sooner. He is mobile, so if you have enough knives to be whipped back into shape, he will come to you in the Portland metro area, or he does in-store shindigs at Kitchen Kaboodle sometimes on weekends, or you can go visit him at OCI. Stop reading. Wrap up those knives, throw out that nasty electric knife sharpener, and make an appointment with Woody!

I have been looking for knife sharpening better than William Sonoma since we moved back to Portland and have had a hard time finding a spot. I saw there was another location in Washington Square to sharpen knives and I decided I'd check it out. I read a lot of bad reviews but thought I'd give it a go. Stopped by on a Sunday and said "do you sharpen kitchen knives / repair?" (I have a shun 8 inch that had a large chunk out of it that multiple places refused to repair). The response I got was "Yes but let us follow up in regards to the repair / write your contact on this post it and we will follow up." Two weeks went by and I didn't have a message or note / call regarding an update. I decided to go stop in and lo and behold they were done including the major knife repair. This was a thin Japanese knife completely shaved down to perfection. The other knives - precise. Cost was insanely reasonable but the care was over the top. In my experience working with small businesses, the passion is in the craft. Yes everyone likes Amazon up to the date updates but I appreciate the quality and Highlander provides quality / craft.

Never ever purchased a knife. Well, aside from Henckels kitchen and steak knives, the last knife I…read morehad was a pocket Cub Scout knife. I'm found myself cutting boxes down for moving and recycling. I started with using a house key to cut the tape, progressing to scissors and a then box cutter. Damn near cut myself opening and closing razor. I did a bit of research and found a 3-1/2" pocket blade manufactured by Kai USA. It's a Japanese based company. Slim, relatively safe, and easy to use. Purchased it on Amazon. With a little clip on the handle, I'm really finding a pocket knife handy. I carry it all the time. Just need to remember not to bring when I can travel by aircraft again.
