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!
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.
