Wow. If you don't have a grinder system, is it at all practical to do the sharpening at home or will you be looking to send them out for sharpening? And if you are sending them out for sharpening, are they something a reasonably equipped sharpening outfit could sharpen?

Don't send knives like that to my local sharpening shop- they might come back worse than they went out.

I got very frustrated, very fast sending knives and router bits out to be sharpened, I bought a Marunaka Grinder/ lapper that did all of my straight knives, and i bought a huge tool and cutter grinder for router bits etc.
I dont know if any grinding shops grind and lap straight knives, The rough grind from the Marunaka was better than any grind from a commercial sharpening shop that I had used. You can of course do the finish lap yourself with a handheld stone.
I never found anyone that could/ would sharpen the Kanefusa router bit, micro-grain carbide with a mirror finish. That was decades ago, maybe different these days..
