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?

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 sharpened a dull machete to where it could shave arm hair in about 5 minutes with mine.

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.

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.
