Knife sharpener van man and his other crimes against cutlery
People here seem to find it hard to believe so I've assembled all of his past victims from other chefs around the kitchen.

So who is the van man? Is it a literal man, in a van, sharpening y’all’s knives to death?

Dude got a grinder and thought “this is how I can pay for my drugs”. Looks like a meth head did that.

Those are all trash now.

I kinda feel this a trade he learned in prison.

Idk why or at all how… but somehow he makes them look like video game knives. Or at best like Halloween costume store plastic knives.

Yeah, I’ve “fired” many a van man in my time coming into new restaurants….

Did he use an angle grinder and strop on a cinder block?:

We had one of those! Luckily I saw everyone else’s get mutilated before he got around to mine.

Are some of those genuinely honesuki style knives or chef knives that have been sent to conversion camp?

handles or stitches is a crazy game to play

Did he serve time? Cause those look like some nice shivs😇

Bro… are you in the south. An old man in a white van once ground the teeth of of a beautiful olive wood handled bread knife for crusty bread. It was only sharpened on one side and he said fuck that and ground those big sharp teeth right off. I came back from my day off to find my baby had been mutilated. He fucked up a few others that I had hand sharpened on my stone for years, figured they would cut better with a different angle I guess.
One time he shit his pants too lol

So throw every one of those knives in the cardboard box,wrap with duct tape and throw them into a dumpster. Or just throw them off a bridge. Your call

Choil shots please, or it didn’t happen.
Also that white handle is growing black mold, throw it out and bleach your kitchen.
I do love in that to him every knife needs to be a combat knife. Bro has seen some shit.

Brought back memories of the seventies when a guy would go door to door every year to sharpen knives with a grinder in back of his station wagon

I feel like I’m watching a zombie apocalypse movie and these are the only weapons the survivors have.

I was worried that this was the knife sharpening guy I know who operates out of a van, but he’s way better than this. Sometimes he will add an edge to something by request like a spatula, but these pics and description rule him out.

You need to lead your sous chef to this post. They need to learn.
SnakeIsUrza
Someone need to stop sharpening knives while they are driving

While the sharpening of those knives is definitely sub par. Can we take a moment to appreciate the interesting shape of the knife that’s 5th from the left on the first pic

Ban the van man. Anybody who’s been working in commercial kitchens for more than a few years should know that only house knives meet the man with a van. You wouldn’t send your kids with a van man, don’t send your tools either.

This is the second worse thing that has ever happened in a van.
