Go to The Sports Authority and get yourself a Lansky Diamond kit.  Anybody can be an expert with one of those.  For a service...sorry I don't know of anyone.

Yeah...was actually looking at Smiths tri-hone diamond sharpener for $80 on eBay
Haven't looked at the lansky yet. I'll check it out.
Thanks

I think the clamp is the same on all of their kits.  Just the stones that differ.  All work well.  Just the diamond stones make life much easier.  You will be happy with it.  I have never used the clamp stand.  Can't give any advise there.

Ive got an older fancy shmansy Cabelas knife that is only ground on one side.....does the Lansky handle that ???  It came with a life time resharpen thing, but that involves sending it in and god knows what that would entail.......

There is a Excalibur Knives in most of the shopping malls, if you don't feel like doing it yourself.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Golden Steer butcher sharpens.  Butcher at Duvall Family Grocer does too.  In fact talk to mostest counters and you can find a lead.

Those directions aren't the best. You shouldn't use any pressure just let the weight of the knife do that. Also 20 degrees is dependent on grinds, you lift until you hear the noise change and drag that angle. And a mousepad isn't needed, I just lay my sandpaper on the table, start with 600 grit for a real dull knife and work up to 2000 grit. I thin strop on leather although you could use stripping grit if you wanted. Good videos on youtube look for "convex sharpening".

Is golden steer in Duvall?   quick turnaround? Can I just wait while they do it?
Bought the lansky. Its more of a re shapper as opposed to sharpener. Other thwn a simple stone tgpe process its new to me. I would like  to spend some time doing research and get really good at it, unfortunately I'm on time crunch until the end of next week tell I'm out in the woods.
thanks for the info
