Kitchen and butcher knife pricing ranges from $4.50 for a paring knife to $10 for a 10" butcher knife. I generally charge $1 and inch for 5" and up knives. Pocket knives and hunting knives $6.00 - $8.00. Scallop edged and serrated knives may be $1-$2 additional if the scallops need to be deepened which requires a special wheel and more time to do. Broken tips can usually be restored. I do not carry pocket knife parts.
Machine knives like planer, joiner and paper are $1.00 / inch. Extra grinding for badly damaged edges extra. I generally avoid chipper knives due to the excessive damage these usually have and the wear on my very expensive grinding wheels.
Regular knives are sharpened on 3 belt machines the last being a polishing belt step. Machine knives such as planer, joiner and paper knives are ground using a CBN wheel bed knife grinder. Most kitchen and butcher knives are returned in knife sleeves.
