Get A Knife Sharpened For Free

If you're not sure your carving knife is up to getting through that turkey or roast, MHOTC is reporting that Sur La Table will sharpen one knife for free through Monday, subsequent knives a good price at $5 each.  There's a Sur La Table in the 29th Street mall.  Here are the details from MHOTC:

With Christmas and all that food prep coming up, a sharp knife is a cook’s best friend. Bring your neediest knife to any Sur La Table store by December 24, and they’ll sharpen the first one for FREE and subsequent ones for $5 while you shop. No scissors, ceramic knives or damaged knives, please. There are three Front Range Sur la Table retail stores: 121 Clayton Ln. (Cherry Creek North), Denver, 303-780-7800; 1850-29th Street, Boulder, 303-952-7080, and 343 S. Teller St. (Belmar), Lakewood, 303-936-4677.

Prep Those Knives For Thanksgiving

It's time to get those knives ready for all the holiday cooking to come. The cooking store What's Cooking at 2770 Arapahoe in Lafayette offers monthly knife sharpening, and the next one is tomorrow. If you get your knives in by noon, you'll have them back by 4 with a nice, newly sharp blade. Their prices are reasonable at $5 for a blade under 6 inches, and $6 for blades 6 inches and up. I've had my knives done there in the past, and they did an excellent job. (Unlike the German knife rep at a Boulder store that shall go unnamed who decimated one of my Wusthof Trident knives at a "free" sharpening. Not a deal.) If you miss this sharpening, the next one at What's Cooking will be November 9th.

Sharpen Those Knives

Many thanks to a friend for passing along news of a knife-sharpening event on Wednesday, January 13th, at the kitchen and cooking store What's Cooking (no relation to my writing) in Lafayette, at 2770 Arapahoe Road. Per the announcement she received, you can bring in knives before the 13th, or between 10 and noon on the 13th, and they'll be ready for pickup after 4. Price per knife is $5 or $6, depending on blade size, and they'll take scissors, too.
