Intriguing. My Dad says that when he was young, the saw-sharpener used to make the rounds of the villages every few months, sharpening everyone's saws (and possibly scissors etc.) Nice to know that that industry still exists in these throwaway days.
Googling, it looks like I'll have to pay about £5 plus p+p to get my blades sharpened. They've lasted me about four years so far, and I think I can stand to pay £1/year for haircuts :-)
Scissor sharpeners: good call, I should get some of those. Knife sharpeners tend to mess up the shape of the edge, I've found.
