Knife Sharpening

11/19/96

Sometimes there are threads that you should have saved, but just didn't.

Someone called me the other day looking for a place to send her metal

knives (LM wax sectioning) for sharpening. I recall that there was a

discussion of this on the listserve not too long ago. If anyone has

saved the thread or has a list of places that provide this service I

would appreciate it very much if you would forward it to me. TIA.

We send our cryostat knives to Otto Anklam Co., 4824 East 42nd

Street, Minneapolis, Minn. 55406 for resharpening. Don't have his number

handy, but I'm sure information can supply it for you. I'd call for

pricing, and to discuss the use of the resharpened knife. He changes the

sharpening angle to suit the application.
