Buy a work sharp system and never look back.
I've sent my knives off quite a few times and it gets old. |

I've been using a Lansky sharpening kit for years... Always produces a great edge and you can choose the edge angle depending on your needs...

I have two 3" folders that need a good sharpening. Any recos where I can send for a fair price? Actual business or member who does this on the side is fine? Are you opposed to learning to sharpen your own knives? It's not hard, it's just (usually) time consuming. And dull: you must pay attention to what you're doing. You have to spend some quality time with your blades to keep them sharp. Here's a link to an Arfcom archived thread about sharpening. I provided some Paint pics to illustrate what you need to do. |

Get a decent strop. Finishing your blade with a steel is good, too. I like the Buck sharpening steel; it's no longer manufactured, but you can find it online. 
I've seen them for as low as $40 up to $115. |
