Default pinking shears sharpening? (US)

I have tried to get my Wiss pinking shears sharpened locally. No good.
No one does it anymore around here anymore (Sacramento CA).

Does anyone have a contact for some place in the US where I can send my
pinking shears for sharpening?

liz young (in cloudy california)



btw, I would just like to follow up in saying that the nice people at
COOPER (who puchased Wiss), have recommended my services for folks
calling their plant looking for sharpeners.

I worked in 2 different cutlery shops and was trained as a professional
cutler, working on Scissors, Shears and Knives exclusively.

Have other references, including government subcontractors.

That's not to say I only do large orders, but I recommend that sewing
clubs get together and send a few to save on shipping costs.

Thanks,
