Driving down Michigan Ave, I wasn’t sure what kind of knife trader the Knife Trader was. It looked suspiciously like one of those places you get your switchblade. But I had heard they did knife sharpening. I went in one afternoon with 3 kitchen knives and in 15 minutes, my knives shown with a brilliant edge. The proprietor was fast and helpful, as he chatted to me about places I should visit in Michigan, being new to the state. He even recommended a good butcher. The best part was that he only charged me $ 6. I didn’t get a chance to really look at the knives that are sold there, but there were some beautiful pocket knives with artistic handles. I’ll probably be coming back around Christmas to get presents for the men in my life here.
