    Actually you can ask for hand sharpened as well (which I typically do)

    Its a super high end culinary knife store.

    (They only ever charge me $3 for the hand sharpening thou, and I watch them do it.)

    This looks pretty cool, I'm thinking of trying it out.

    My Shun's get sharpened by the factory for free, but I've gone to a WorkSharp Ken Onion Edition which does a great job on those Japanese grinds. I also have a Sharpmaker which is a good, cost-effective tool.

    I like the Lansky knife sharpener. Simple and easy, not too expensive.

    Ditto on the worksharp. It's really the best thing going for convex grinds.

    Flat grinds I can do by hand with a good stone and use simple diamond V hones too.

    I still use diamond stones or wet stones on my better knives. On my EDC and such I use a cheapo Smith's pocket sharpener (carbide and ceramic).

    Is that for any Shun owner. I have one Shun. I keep it in the gun safe because my retard wife can actually ruin a knife by looking at it across the room.

    Roll your window down half way and use the sand-blasted edge for a tune-up. You can get nice long strokes, works well for me.

    Next step, for the final edge, the side of a sweaty Corona bottle. No I'm not kidding.

    Don't do them in sequence while sitting at a stoplight with a squad car next to you.
