I looked into sharpening services in my city a few years back and they're like dry cleaners - every one was a mix of satisfied reviews and detailed "this person completely ruined my $600 knife" reviews. It was very off putting.

It's unlikely any sharpener is going to ruin your knife; at worst, they won't put the best possible edge on it. Your knife is probably just an inert hunk of steel. :)

  Grinding too much of the edge does ruin the knife. Usually not the entire blade is hard enough to hold a good edge.

    It's a fair point, but how likely do you think it is that any knife sharpening service is actually going to do that?
