Subject: Sharpening board shears
The Book Arts Press has a 40" Minco board shears with a blade that needs sharpening. I've been unable to find a tool-sharpening firm in central Virginia willing to take on the Minco's long, curved blade. In this day of FedEx, I suppose it doesn't much matter where I send the thing off to be sharpened (I have a good wood sheath for it): does anyone have a sharpening firm to suggest to us and, if possible, the name of a contact person there that I could check with on the feasibility of sending our blade to be sharpened?
