Sharpening/polishing services wanted.

[Hellion_1]

I have an old school SOG SogWinder. This blade has seen some heavy **** over the years. I took it to the 1500 and the older couple up there tried to sharpen/polish it, but it ended up not that sharp, and they hit the brass thumb studs with their power tools and removed metal from them.

I am a "function over form" kind of guy, but I want this blade restored to it's former glory if possible. I know there is someone here that puts a razor sharp/mirror smooth edge on knives. I am looking to get the blade and other metal cleaned up, and a wicked edge put back on it. Who can guide me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your time. Here is what I have:

If you are wanting to do it yourself, I have yet to find a knife that my Spyderco Sharpmaker won't sharpen. All my knives are razor sharp, and will shave paper laying flat on a table. Polishing however... You may need someone else's opinion

This got me curious, so I Googled it and tried it on one of my cheap kitchen knives. It actually worked!

Not sure I would do it to one of my Kershaws, but for a kitchen knife it works easily enough.

I do not mean to be disrespectful,or to damage anyone in any way,but let me say,DO NOT allow the belt grinder people at the 1500 sharpen anything that is valuable to you...

This.

I let them handle a few cheap knives and they did fine... then I let them handle a Busse with a convex edge, and they ****ed it all up.

I mean, how do you **** up a convex edge with a BELT SANDER? That's what you use to grind one in the first damned place.

They turned it into a v grind.
