I know sirraco (sp?) via tags does both knives and yard tools. At the union square farmer's market they do knives while you wait but it's only once a month.
Yes, although you can also drop them off at any of a number of spots around town: http://www.siracosharpening.com/
We've used Local Root in the past: http://localroot.com/
And of course there's Stoddard's over in Newton: http://www.stoddards.com/ -- when we got an antique carving knife as a wedding present we took it there to be restored.
I needed to get mine sharpened and kept missing the Union Square window, so (having learned about it from this post) yesterday I took my primary knife to Local Root. The guy who does the sharpening happened to be there, so (after asking if I minded waiting) he did it right then while I drooled over the merchandise.
They did a great job. I feel like it's better than the last couple of times with Siraco, and I do actually appreciate having the plastic guard now (they included it with the sharpening). The folks there were also very nice.
Siraco's actually does the Tags sharpening, in addition to their own direct work in Union Square and elsewhere. They do a great job and have been at it for years. Give them a try!
Stoddard's and On the Edge if you can line up with a place they'll be at the right time are my top picks for nice kitchen knives that are as much as possible hand-sharpened and not machine-ground.
