What knives do you have. Reason I ask is that I have Shun's and I was told that my knives should not get dull and need and sharpening. I find that odd but that what they said. And If I need any sharpen that I can send it to them for Free to either replace it or have them sharpen it. I am way to scared to sharpen them myself. They cost me way too much money to screw them up. So I would suggest in calling the manufacture and see if they would sharpen the knives.
Well I started out with Case knives, which shortly became the lead junk in the pile, I'll never buy another Case knife, between fast dulling blades and blades snapping off at the handles, they are good for hanging on the wall, but, not skinning. Right now I have a Schrade Old Timer 1420T, which I have skinned a lot of deer with in the past 5 years that I've had it, and have never had it sharpened, only this year with the last deer I felt it was that time. I can buy a brand new one for about $20.00 now... a lot cheaper than what I paid for mine, but, this knife has acquired a lot of memories and I'd just as soon have it resharpened and keep gettin' up. The engraved notches on the blade have some meaning these days.
However, this does have a factory laser sharpened edge, and I have compared the laser re-sharpening on friends knives and know that's the only way I'd have it done if I were gonna pay someone for it, I've seen and used knives sharpened with chop sticks and bricks and the edges are not pretty, too much like a saw blade for my taste, I like a hot knife through melted butter.
