I have an awesome sharpening guy near me, and he doesn't cost me an arm and a leg, so I keep it local and give him work as I need it done. My biggest concern is he's a little older than I am, so it's that age old question like you get with good Doctors, will they go before I do? But then so many of the younger ones are so wishy washy about doing work for a living, I'm not too sure I trust the young generation to keep us afloat, once the greatest generation passes.
