Post #2 - December 9th, 2010, 3:29 pmI know it's too late for this season, but the Morton Grove Farmers Market had a guy doing knife sharpening every Saturday morning during the spring/summer/fall.
Saturday morning trip down to Northwestern Cutlery only takes 15 minutes from Dempster on Edens/Kennedy....

Post #3 - December 9th, 2010, 3:36 pmUnder any other circumstances I would do that, but I'm working Saturday morning in Long Grove, and I'd rather not risk the commute taking longer than I think it will.

Post #4 - December 9th, 2010, 4:17 pmI just got this thing through the LTH Amazon link, and for the price (under $30), it does a pretty good job. I ran some of my knives which I thought were pretty sharp already, and the difference afterwards was impressive. It's a lot easier than going to a pro knife sharpener.
Let me know if the link doesn't work.

Post #8 - June 24th, 2011, 11:00 amHi- I am not sure if he is still there, but there used to be somebody at the Skokie Farmer's Market on Sunday morning's on Oakton, right next to the public library. I believe he charged $3 a knife, but it has been a while since I had one sharpened. I think that there is somebody that comes to the Evanston market on Saturday mornings too. I don't know how much he charges though. Finally Field's used to have free knife sharpening a couple of times a year at their Old Orchard store. Since Macy's took over the store, I am not sure if they still offers this service. If Macy's still offers this service, please let me know. Thanks, Nancy
