Send Ginghers back to the company. They'll come back like new. Most local sharpeners are wonderful, but before I would trust my Ginghers to them, I would have them sharpen scissors I didn't value so much.

I ALWAYS send my Ginger's back to the factory. Some of the others just butcher them. I send my Cutco kitchen knives back to the factory, also. Have a whole set and they are 47 years old and perfect. 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.
