I was lucky enough to run into an Afilador while I was in Mexico City. They only show up about once per month so they are pretty hard to come by. I fear that the Afilador will go the way of the milkman some day soon, so I was very excited to catch Porfilio el Afilador.
Afiladores blow a unique whistle that lets everybody inside of their houses or businesses know that he is in the street. When they hear his unique whistle, they come running out to have him sharpen their knives.
