The Sharp Pro at the mall sharpened it for her, then made the comment to her that the steel wasn't any...

    restaurant knife sharpening business

    I do have a question on "polished" vs "Grippy" edges. I sharpened a set of knives for a Restaurant owner/Chef as a favor. No charge. While he liked the fact that the knives were sharper than he had ever had them. He did complain that his medium chef (8" Shun) had trouble biting the skin on a...

    Fred I have never bought from them but they seem to sell a lot of blacksmith equipment. Just my $0.02 they seem a bit high on the price. Might look local to you. I see quite a few in my area on craigslist. Might give them a look. God Bless Mike

    Stone or Belt of Surface Grinder

    As I just got a surface grinder and don't really know its capabilities yet, I shouldn't be thinking of modifying it. BUT. I have seen many of you convert from stone to 2x72 belt. Just curious on a couple of things. First and foremost, how accurate is a belt compared to a stone? Is spring...

The surface grinder has a 18" magnetic chuck, and 11 assorted wheels. Will give a full report after I pick them up...
