    Unfortunately not. Would chefs be able to sharpen scissors correctly?

    Um. Might ask there.
    Thought there would be somewhere more specific. A butchers doesn't sound like the sort of place to have scissors sharpened, but then again, where would.

    Butchers need sharp blades and so sharpen theirs regularly.

    I don't think it's a service they offer per se but if you go in and buy a load of meat from them I'm sure they would oblige.

    Is it really worth it? Like, how much is a pair of scissors?

    why not try a barbers?
    human hair has a propensity for dulling scissors. perhaps they could point you in the right direction............

    It cost me £15. I assume that you are in the city of London, or the south east of England, if not he operates a postal service with a 3 working days turnaround. hope this helps. :)
