Knife Sharpening

I have a CRKT half straight/half serrated blade that is dull as crap.

Any suggestions on who can sharpen it?

Childers Sharpening, NW of Broadway & Bellview.

Been using Randy Childers for my business for many years, excellent sharpener.

Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear, 52nd and Sheridan between I-76 and 52nd on the east side. Ask for Tom.

I finally got tired of having to take my knife to get sharpened, and it seemed like it was hit or miss getting a decent edge. A couple months ago, I purchased a Lansky Knife sharpening kit, and let me tell you, that is one of the BEST investments i've made. If you are nearby, i'd be willing to throw a nice edge on it for you. My daily carry is a CRKT, and i've got a razor sharp edge on mine, but again I highly recommend getting a Lansky kit.

EDIT: I bet there are a bunch of people here who would gladly show you how to sharpen your knife on your own. You could probably buy the stuff for the same price as taking it some where.

Oh Stuart, I can sharpen my own knife, just not a serrated edge. And I really hate sharpening the straight portion because it is such small portion of the blade.

I've been enlightened.

2-5 minute job with the proper equipment. [Tooth]

This. I got a Lansky kit some years ago myself, and added the serrated blade stone as I have several half straight/half serrated blades myself. You can put a great edge on in just a few minutes, and it isn't difficult.

Here's what the kit looks like. The serrated stone is the one at the top, it has a triangular cross-sections and is radiused to allow use on nearly all serrated blades. This place has a good price on the kit, too.

I'm not a serious knife guy, but I like 'em sharp at least, and I can't do it well to save my ass. I've seen those Lansky's before, and always wondered about them, been wondering even more lately. So they work good, huh? Can a moron like me operate one?
