Stevec427 Â Â 10 #1 Posted June 8, 2013 Does anyone know somewhere in Sheffield that still does sharpening of garden shears... mine are so blunt it would be more effective to cut the grass with the kids knife and fork! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
badgemush   10 #2 Posted June 8, 2013 Try Gunstons at Bradfield Road, Hillsborough. They service lawnmowers and garden equipment so I think they will do sharpening aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

carosio   186 #6 Posted June 8, 2013 I used to sharpen ours up with a file. It doesn't take very long to do.  You can, but the file needs to be broad, flat with a "fine cut" and preferably with the blade clamped in a vice for accuracy. The cutting edge only needs to be filed and at the right angle, not the back of the blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
