Shun knives need more than honing at home at this point. It's been two years since a good professional sharpening. Anyone know where to take them?

Yes! There is a guy at the farmer’s market on Saturdays but that may be over now. It’s called Sky Sharpening.

Thank you all for these suggestions! I'll check them out and try to stay hopeful. The problem is that options I checked in the past didn't do the 12 to 15 degree angles that Japanese knives require. Most do the 20 to 22 degree angles that German knives have. But maybe more people have Japanese knives now and the local services are more available. Fingers crossed.

I just realized you also said they’re Shun. I have a bunch of Shun knives that came with free lifetime sharpening. You can reach out to them to make arrangements and you just have to pay the shipping. I’ve done that several times too. It’s a pretty quick turnaround.

If you want to do them you self, I know Chef's Choice makes a home sharpener that does the 12 to 15 degree angle or if you cannot find someone to take them to.

LaRocca’s market in North Stamford sharpens knives.

I think Williams Sonoma does sharpening by inch if you're headed to Westport

I don’t know if they do it but there is a Japanese grocery store downtown called Maruichi—worth a call to ask!
