Has anyone tried him out? I'm not as ambitious about home sharpening as Ronnie, and my knives could do with a good professional sharpening.

Exact Blade is a 1-man sharpener in Northbrook that has been going many years ( and does a very good job ).
The photo shows him sharpening on a stone, but there is an electric device nearby. If the majority of the sharpening is on a stone, I suspect that a better job can be done than 100% on a spinning wheel. It will also take 15-30 minutes versus the 2-3 minutes on a spinning wheel. I would be interested to hear from anyone that has been here.

Where? I've been to NWC since the move for knife sharpening and did not notice a drop-off in quality.
