File this under "completely unexpected free services," I guess... QFC stores will sharpen your knives for free in the butcher department. They don't really advertise this service, it's just kind of for people in the know. Which now includes me, and you.
"The QFC on the north end of Broadway has always been particularly helpful, and Jeff, one of my favorite butchers, does most of the sharpening at that location. He says, 'All QFC stores provide knife sharpening as a free service, but we don't do bread knives or anything with a serrated edge. You can drop off your knives three at a time and pick them up the next day.'"
Not sure how I'd feel about blithely dropping off my $100 Global santoku and hoping it'll be there the next day, but if you're feeling adventurous (and dull), maybe give it a try...
(Thanks for the tip, Brian!)
