Sharpening Shun Knives
Mr. Brown,
Has the sharpening of cutlery ever been discussed on Good Eats? If so what episode was it and if not what do you use to sharpen yours?
Thank you,
Mike

They'll sharpen them and send them back to you within 48 hours for free.

You can also buy Shun shaprening stones at Williams-Sonoma and Sur le Table if its something you'd prefer to do yourself.

Ummm, I think tchaike took care of it all with the whole sharpening for free thing.
Got anything for Wusthof?

BTW.... the episode Alton Brown did a sharpening tutorial was season 2 episode 11 called "Pantry Raid II: Seeing Red". If memory serves me correctly, he had a man stop by with a mobile sharpening truck, but AB did discuss the process in depth.

there's a great website at www.goodeatsfanpage.com that has lists of all the good eats episodes by title, subject, and date aired. also transcripts of all the shows and links to recipes. betcha can find what you're looking for on there!

Just following up on tchaike's comment - when I sent my knives in for sharpening, they actually replaced them. (They were in terrible condition, having been unable to sharpen them for a couple of years). If you have Shuns, I definitely recommend shipping them back.
