Thank you all for these suggestions! I'll check them out and try to stay hopeful. The problem is that options I checked in the past didn't do the 12 to 15 degree angles that Japanese knives require. Most do the 20 to 22 degree angles that German knives have. But maybe more people have Japanese knives now and the local services are more available. Fingers crossed.
