knife sharpening in pierce county ??

Read the reviews on the "work sharp" electric sharpener.  LOTS of people say its the best at a good price.

I'll give it

For me, I don't possess the skill nor the patience to learn the art of sharpening knives.  I can touch one up with a steel pretty well but that's really only straightening an already sharp blade and isn't the same as taking a knife from truly dull to sharp.

The WorkSharp is perfect for people like myself that want to make things sharp but don't have the skills to do it with a stone.  It takes me longer to walk from my house to the shop then it does to make a knife sharp with my WorkSharp and there is nothing to clean up when I'm done.

Is using a stone/s "better"?  For somebody that truly knows what they're doing, probably so.  But like I said earlier, I'm NOT one of those "somebody's" and with the WorkSharp I can make and edge very sharp and it'll stay sharp for quite some time and do it with ease in just a few minutes.  I can't ask for much more than that.

Get a WorkSharp.  I found some old kitchen knives we had that couldn't cut through pudding.  The WorkSharp made them like razors.  One caution, if you sharpen all your kitchen knives that your wife uses, make sure you have a lot of BandAids around.

Another caution about the worksharp. Be careful not to round off the point by dragging completely through the belt. It will take the tip off pretty quick.
