Remember how punk rock you used to be? Staying out past curfew, sneaking smokes in the bathroom, skipping math to make out to The Ramones in Sandy’s Jeep Wrangler.
These days, your most extreme act of rebellion is bailing on Pilates.
Well, there is hope. At least for your cutlery. Drop off your dull blades at Drewes Bros. Meat Market in Noe Valley (free pickup and delivery if you live in Bernal Heights), and let Josh Donald return your desperately needed razor-sharp edge.
Using diamond and Japanese whetstones, Donald’s two-part hand-sharpening method will prolong the life of your knives and give you a new lease on slicing and dicing. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly decide to take up the ancient art of Asian watermelon carving. Green thumbs, tap into your inner Edward Scissorhands and bring in your pruners and shears for a honing.
Donald’s sharpening skills are so inspiring that you may get the urge to bust out your old motorcycle jacket. Though it’s best to stop short of putting safety pins in your ears.
That would be putting too fine a point on it.
Bernal Cutlery, Drewes Bros. Meat Market, 1706 Church Street, at 29th Street (415-902-6531).
