It usually about $3.00. I have taken them to the Houston Show and they have several guys there, but usually don't take my Gingers.

Shequilts - big hugs to you for starting this thread! I have a pair of Gingher shears that I can't use because they are so dull, and I never used them on anything but fabric, so don't know how it happened. Now, I look forward to having them perform like new. Thank you so much. Thanks to you and the others who responded, I also plan to have my Cutco knives sharpened for the fist time in about 25 years. I'm so excited! Thank you, Thank you.

Please get a "pro" to do it and DO NOT, I repeat - DO NOT mention it to your (well actually, my) husband! He dragged out the knife sharpener and proceeded to sharpen my sewing shears and my kitchen shears. I know he was trying to be helpful (being retired and all), but I am now in the market for new kitchen and sewing shears as neither pair will even cut a piece of paper......sigh
Thank goodnessI love to shop - lol!

Brenda, they will resharpen and if anything is wrong that that does not help, they will replace it at no charge. Get on the web and find their address. I just wrap them well in newspaper and pick in box or take to one of the wrapping mailing places and let them box. They will be as good as new.

As you can see, I'm very protective about my toys.
