Question: I have a set of Cutco knives that I can send in to the company for sharpening. I've always wondered if this would be halachically problematic?

The simplest problem could be if they return someone else's knives to me...

Any ideas?

How do they sharpen the blades? Use something that gets hot? With liquid? That has belios from treif knives?

Worst case scenario you should be able to do hagola...

he makes a good point, if one brings in a microwave to sears to fix, we might have to be choshesh that they used to to'test' it out or heat up there lunch at the same time. with that being said, if anything you would have to do libun. it can be used in the fire...

i am not paskining but just saying the sides to the coin.... there is a chazon ish (and even the mechaber) who says that when yo buy new kailim you need to do hagaloa to them, bec of the shuman (and also bec of this cheshash)
If you have any questions please search and then ask. PM me for detailed help.

Not sure hagola is enough for knives.

Agree (we are machmir on knives in some occasions) ask a LOR.
Just saying that there may be a problem even if the knife sharpener came to you, as his tools get hot and are probably used on non kosher knives also.

Ask your LOR but practically hechsherim are not worried and allow commercial knife sharpening for many reasons among them knives are always cleaned before sharpening....
