I'm pretty sure you can, the trick is finding someone to do it! We used to drop off shears at the sewing store (could possibly have been a singer store years ago) and a guy picked them up there, sharpened them, and dropped them back off. I still have my mom's old ones (Weiss?) and a pair of Fiskars. Never needed to sharpen either, although I'm sure mom's have been sharpened before (>30 years ago!). Good luck.
