susanschwaiger Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 .... not for murder ))) Just kitchen knives Is there any place that they use special stone for sharpening knives? Thanks in advance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have always used the old Thai guys that walk around villiges that do this for a living. Unbelievable job they do and cheap. Depends where you live and you kinda gotta luck out on when they are around or if you have a Thai partner that can understandn their chants about it like most of the other village/street carts etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Why don't you buy a Knife sharpener in any Supermarket? Don't think this is rocket science! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradenroger Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Why don't you buy a Knife sharpener in any Supermarket? Don't think this is rocket science! This is what I was going to suggest. I've yet to see the ambulatory knife sharpeners pass through our condo (alas). My sister gifted me one Christmas an electric knife sharpener and I love it! You might consider investing in the same. Good luck and happy new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcardave Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The best and cheapest way to sharpen knifes is on the back of another knife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD13 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Look for a "Farang" who has been stabbed in the back by their Thai staff.....or others.......and help yourself to it only kidding........... The knife grinder would be good, if you can ever see one......I have garden shears that need sharpening.....but rarely see the man Edited January 5, 2014 by DD13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanschwaiger Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 We have a knife sharpener (a stick) when we bought this whole set of knives in Index. But the stick doesn't help much. Maybe it't time to buy a new set if I can't get the professional sharpener with stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaaSaparot Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just listen out for the sound of two bits of wood being knocked together. That means the knife sharpener is passing through the Soi, on his bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it't time to buy a new set if I can't get the professional sharpener with stones. Just recently learned from the cooking show that the stick is only for keeping the edge of the knife straight which makes it cut better between sharpenings. In addition to the electric sharpener I also use the square sharpening stone that comes in a box (made in China, I think) and is sold in many places. It is especially good for larger knives/cleavers/hatchets as well as the normal kitchen knives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I tried the stone, the mortar edge, back of another knife, no avail. Had years ago a pull through type sharpener that made a saw pattern on the blade... Now who can teach me how to do this right. Oh, and also watched YouTube videos on this topic.

susanschwaiger Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks for all the input !!! Now I will raise up my ears for the wooden sound and also keep my eyes wide open for the stone in shops Back in my country, there are pedlars wandering in communities and sharpening knives/scissors for people. Good old sweet memories ....... PS: another possible place is the open air vegetable markets where also sell raw meat. Will keep an eye on that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotsira Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I always see the locals sharpening there own, using an abrasive block with some 3 in 1 oil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoli Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 After all of the sarcastic replies, I hope this one actually helps. At the Nuklua market, the small one, not the large commercial one, you will find a gentleman that sharpens knives for all of the vendors working there. He will be glad to do yours as well, and really does a great job. He is just inside the fence of the park, 50 feet north of the restroom, along side the driveway that passes the stalls where they cook your fish for you. He uses many stones from coarse to eventually fine. No automatic knife sharpener will even come close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure I'll find him next time. Thanks a great deal )) PS: Maybe they also sell these in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaiyapoon Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Learnt how to sharpen knives over a period of time Now I wouldn't let anyone else near my knives.Main thing is to wash knives seperately one at a time to stop dulling the edges in the first place.I use three different grade stones.Its not that difficult to do.

susanschwaiger Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 No, should be the one (has strong sea food smell) next to the park, near the big clock tower. Inside the park , there is a small shop and a restroom too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oink Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Go to cook shop next to Foodland or in 2nd Rd. Get a silicone carbide sharpening stone. Will last a lifetime for about Baht 200. You will need to put a little oil on it to hone the knifes properly and get a cut throat type edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
