   Sounds good.   
      
   I just had my carry knife sharpened today at a restaurant supply place.   
   I'd normally do it myself, but my wheel is out of true and just ruins   
   stuff at this point.   
      
   They had the largest shife sharpening operation I've ever seen. That's   
   another place where there were some serious knives being being carried in   
   and out with nobody freaking out or caring.   
      
   Microtech had some passes on the water cooled belt sander, then was   
   rubbed some sort of stone (was hard to see with the person's back in the   
   way) then off to the stopping wheel, and a few more passes on another   
   stone on the counter.   
      
   One guy came in with a bundle of knives about 2 feet long. There wasn't a   
   chance to ask him what they used for. They looked very utilitarian.
