Knife sharpening

No, not a comment about political backstabbing. But a genuine question. Where can I get my kitchen knives sharpened locally?Nick

Next Repair Cafe at ST Mary's Church by Putney Bridge  is on Saturday 13th August from 10am to 12 noon. It is free but a small donation to the church is welcome. No need to make an appointment - just turn up.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Because I no longer have a car I wanted a sharpener nearby if at all possible. Caroline C saw this posting and emailed to say she had seen an advert on Nextdoor from Gillan Stewart in Barnes (Gillan Knives, Gillansp@googlemail.com 07889991249). He does sharpening, repair and restoration of knives as well as garden tools like secateurs. I took our eight knives over today (near Essex House) and they’re back bright, shiny and yes, sharp. Took an hour. He prefers to have a pic of your knives by email.Recommended. Thank you Caroline.Nick

Amazon sell a range of knife sharpeners. Most are around £10. We have had one for ages, and it works well.

Hello Nick,I am afraid I cannot help you because we have a wonderful Salter knife sharpening machine at home.I did Google sharpening knives and this place perhaps looks promising?  https://www.blade-sharpener.co.uk/  They are based in Hampton and have excellent reviews in Google.

I think someone does it at the Repair Stop at Queen Mary's Church but I don't know when the next one is.  Usually about once a month.  Ask at the Church or at Putney Pantry.
