There are two places in the Central Texas area:

    The Cutter's Edge in Bastrop, Texas sharpens all manner of
    blades, and some of their customers do ship blades needing
    sharpening via UPS, USMail, FedEx etc. Give them a call at
    512-321-7812.

    Clyde L Rackley & Co. is a hardware store in downtown Austin,
    and Rackley's also sharpens all types of blades (even large
    cutting shears), and will accept shipped goods. Call them at
    512-477-5337 to set things up.
