Knife Sharpening in the ATL

Found a guy near Spagetti Junction that does a great job for an extremely reasonable price. Access is off of Pleasandale Rd at I-85. I had my two good knives done. They are sharp as ever.
I had to wait a short bit while he did a dozen blades for the head meat cutter at Whole Foods, but I hung out and chewed the fat ;) with him. He informed me that he doesnt call himself a butcher, in that he doesnt start with a full side of beef and work his way into chops, and that for this reason real butchers are a rarity these days.

Good guys there at.....

PS. Tell him Big Ron sent you, so maybe I can get mine for free next time. :)

    Hey Rod, its just off of the access Road by the QT at Pleasantdale and I-85. It's on McCall Dr, but I dont have the address handy. If you take a right out of Restaurant Depot, go past the QT, take a right on McCall, cross the RR tracks, its just up on the left.

    Hey Terry, hope you and the Fam are doing well.
    I don't go to Publix a whole lot, mostly Kroger but thanks for the tip.

    Mark, the cover is actually to small for the Large with mates unfortunatley. It's odd, because the packaging indicates that it should fit. I do very much appreicate you sending it to me though. That reminds me, the moving company still owes me $50 for tearing mine. I figured I would just keep the one you sent until someone else needs it, unless you want it back. Either way is fine.

    Bummer. Don't need it back Bud. Won't fit the composite shelves either. That's why you got it in the first place. Save it for someone else I guess. Mark

    If you get down my way, I can sharpen you knife(s) that it will shave the hair off your arm. FREE.

    This is what I sharpen LC's on.

    Tim, I've got the larger version of that machine, works awesome. I only sharpen once a year as long as I can keep Kim away from my knives. Was expensive but worth every penny. -RP

    again. I was thinking about you tonight when I went to the Mothership for the BBQ class. I took a friend who is brand-new to the obsession of ours and I remebered how you and Doug took me under your wings and helped me get started just like I have done with my newbie- Mark. Take care of yourself and give me a call to catch-up.
  • I still sharpen mine with a wet stone and then keep an edge touched up with a steel.
    My great aunt taught me how to put on an edge…She was a cutter at one of the big St. Louis processors all of her working life. She wasn’t really a butcher either, but she knew a lot!!
    Actually we have very few butchers left out in the market place! I only know of one (and I’m keeping him), that is now in his mid 60’s, who is still cutting and making sausage.
    The guys at the market that I frequent are all “meat cutters”.

    Hey Randy,
    I didn't know they made a bigger machine. You are right. They are pricey. I also picked up a #6000 gritt wheel from Japan Woodworker. It is made by King. King make all kinds of water stones. If you want Kim to keep her hands off your knives, buy her a set just for her. Seems to work at the Gourmet BBQ and Fish Camp.
