On Mondays, you can make an appointment to meet with Pete Yavner, who will bring a grinding stone to Flavors From Afar. Not only will he sharpen your knives, he'll show you how to do it. The first knife is $5, which you may apply to any of Pete's Products; these include cutting boards, knives and more. Each subsequent knife is $4.
But Pete cautions that if you bring in what he calls a "gardening tool" that has to be ground down, he may have to have a little talk with you. Flavors From Afar is at 6712 Snider Plaza; phone is 214-696-2327. No excuses for dull knives now. Where'd I put my Band-Aids?
