Where are you located? We do a lot of blades but I'm not sure how much shipping we want to get into. I will check for you.

MVP Sharpeners here in Houston does a lot of mail order business. If you have 3 or more sets of blades, then having one or two in the mail should be no problem. Get a mailing tube and ship by US Post Office Priority Mail, or use UPS. I use them a lot and always get outstanding results. I hand deliver as they are only about 5 miles from me. They sharpen about all types of woodworking blades and cutters. While most manufacturers use 400 grit for the final cut, they go down to 600 grit. Their sharpening is better than original.

Check with your local tool rental shops. Usually they have someone in house, or around the community who does thier work. My local rental shop lets me drop blades for pick up, and they handle the payment for the sharpening guy.
Good luck.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. It has been an extremly busy week. I checked with the boss and he said he would gladly do planer and jointer knives where shipping is involved. I am sure you would be well pleased with the quality of work. If you are interested please contact me by e-mail and I will give you all the details. I don't think I should give them here as it might be considered advertising.
