Default Competent mini tool sharpener needed
Does anyone know where I could send my Two Cherries mini tool set to have them sharpened properly? Recently I had a tool sharpener at a show try to sharpen them and he nearly ruined them; grinding the very small v's clear away leaving only the wings! Now they look like miniature two pronged forks! Thankfully, there is quite a lot of tool left, but I don't want this to happen again.

I understand Rick at http://www.littleshavers.com/Index.html does a very good job at sharpening & is very reasonable.

i have broke off 2 small v tools 5/64 & 3/64
there was just enough left to sharpen so i set about it today and after 1 hour of tediously slow cold grinding and honing i got one of them to preform nearly properly the other one is not going to make it its too short,,

you got to respect someone that can sharpen them properly...

If there is anyone better than Rick at Little Shavers I've never found them. I'll bet he can fix your tools.
