>I confess: I’m one of those supposedly gourmet cooks who doesn’t sharpen her knives often enough.
My excuse: I used to subscribe to a mobile knife-sharpening service that came every six months and did my knives, scissors, and garden tools. When that guy retired, I was at a loss. Those grocery store programs where, one day a month you can bring in three knives, just didn’t, well cut it for me. Boxing up my knives and sending them through the mail to a sharpening service made me feel like a serial killer.
So today, as we were walking back from a quick shopping trip in downtown Ballard, I was delighted to see a leather-clad character standing in the door of a small shop at 2419 NW Market St. The new store is called Vulcan Knife, and it’s open weekdays 10-6. I predict the place will be crazy busy even if all they do is service the proliferation of new restaurants within a 10-block radius. But they also do garden tools, axes, hatchets, and swords — many of which were on intimidating display on the premises.
Anyway, there’s no more excuse for hacking or sawing away at the cutting board. Take the knives over to Vulcan.
