Consider a sharpening subscription. This plan allows up to $36 worth of service for each visit, no limit on visits.
$29 automatically charged every 6 months, cancel or pause anytime.
Normally, Four Chef Knives over 5" blade length costs $36 to sharpen, so based on these 4 knives:
Come Twice per year, save $14
Come four times per year, save $115
Come Five times per year, save $151
Come every other month, save $187
*Wait is first come first serve or by appt.
If your service exceeds $36 on a visit, you pay the difference.
This plan was designed around getting just a few knives sharpened because usually you only have a few "go-to knives" you use every day, so those need sharpening more often. Also the smaller order allows us to sharpen quickly without an appointment. Even if you only brought in just 2 chef knives 4 times per year, you would save $14.
