  • Is there anywhere recommended in East for knife sharpening (appreciate they likely wont be open right now)? I have a whetstone but I'm a bit crap at it and it doesnt really spark much joy.

  • How bad are you? I bought a whetstone last year after using a shit sharpener for ages and found it didn't take too much practice to get a decent edge on a knife. I'm definitely not an expert at all but can get a kitchen knife sharp enough to be useful which is all I really need.

  • Get a Lansky - for the price you'll pay to get a knife sharpened it will be about the same price. its dead easy, bit artless but you'll get a good edge every time

  • Kataba are open for drop off/pick up sharpening, they're in central though (endell street) so maybe not ideal if you're far east.

    I bought a whetstone a couple of months ago - I haven't risked my good knives on it yet but it is kind of nice to use once you get into it! Maybe give it another go, I think you can do it much worse than you'd expect and still be able to rescue the knives!
