Our local farm shop will sharpen knives. Worth trying any nearby.




I have always thought that 70% of good pruning, carpentry, or any skill
that needs a tool that is sharpened, lies in the ability to sharpen
correctly. I must admit I a not good, I have files, stones and leather
strops, but cannot get a professional edge. :-(

Probably the quality of the knives' steel.

I find that a softer steel knife is easier to sharpen, although it may
need doing more often.
I buy quite a few kitchen knives in Spain for example. They are
cheap, fairly soft material, but take a lovely edge quickly, even if
they need touching up fairly frequently, not a problem,
