If cooking is feeling a little dull, you might need to get a handle on your tools. Let’s cut to the chase — your knives might need a good sharpening.

Larry McFadden and Southern Home & Kitchen can help. McFadden is the owner of Chef Sharp, a mobile knife sharpening business based in Winston-Salem. Every Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., he sets up at the boutique kitchen supply store at 200 S. Stratford Rd., Ste. 110.

You can bring any knife — even serrated ones — and garden tools to be sharpened. There’s no limit to how many knives you can bring, but there is a small fee per knife:

  • Four-inch blades or smaller: $5
  • Blades over four inches: $7

Knives are sharpened on a first-come, first-serve basis, which means you can shop while you wait. You can also drop your knives off at the store anytime and pick them up later.
