Not to be picky, but sending them back to Gingher is the best way to have them sharpened back to new. There are lots of people,who sharpen scissors just fine, but not Gingher ones. I've heard of quilters having their expensive scissors, big and small, ruined. And thanks for the address - I live about 1-1/2 hours from Greensboro and wonder if I can take them over myself. Hmmmm....
