OK, HERE is a History lesson.
Here is a shot I took before showing the 4 major types of buttonhole cutters.
(L-R Chisel, Scissor, Adjustable Punch, Professional Adjustable punch)

Do any of you know how to sharpen scissors or know where one could take their scissors to be sharpened? I have a few pair that belonged to my mom and she always kept them sharp, but I don't know where people go today to have them done right.

My local sewing shop has someone who'll sharpen them, and all other sewing shops I've been to have a guy come by every week or two. There are scissor sharpening services listed in the yellow pages. I Googled a couple of months ago and got some guy local in Melbourne who works from home. As yet another possibility, you could ask any shop that sells kitchen knives. They always have a sharpening service for their knives. I would only use the sewing shop guys to sharpen pinking shears though.
