So, in the body piercing world (of which I used to work), there is a saying that goes something like "you wouldn't take your car to a tattoo artist to get it fixed, so why would you go to a tattoo artist for a piercing?".
Well, in the knife world, I think the same probably holds true to taking a knife to a gun show to get it sharpened. I sold this knife to a friend about a year or so ago with one condition: Bring it back to me when it needs sharpened. He didn't listen. Here's what he ended up with:
That's the same knife that had this gorgeous edge on it:
Those "professionals" are idiots. You should have seen a serrated knife we had a "pro" sharpen in the kitchen years ago. Horribly horrible, and it snagged and wouldn't cut.
At first when I read the title I thought to myself, why would Evil D get someone to sharpen one of his knives???? It makes sense now though. That's brutal. Nobody sharpens my knives but me :)

When I read the title and saw your name as the op my first thought was "you're the last person I thought would get a knife sharpened by someone else" haha. Ya they definitely butchered that knife, be interesting to see it after you fix it

looks like a machine did that with a very shaky operator that did not know exactly what he was going for. Sharpening is always better by hand to check progress and test sharpness, that quick sharpening can ruin a blade fast.

You're not kidding. I'm a nice guy

More like he started out with serrations and ground them off lol. He lost a lot of steel. It's gotta be pretty thick behind the edge. Probably due for a regrind.
