Pinking shears

I have a pair of pinking shears... that does a zig zag cutting edge on fabric. Does anyone know where in Dublin that I could have these sharpened? I have tried shoe repair, hardware and Hickeys in vain. Years ago there was a chap on Parliament Street that I took my mothers scissors and knives to be sharpened, alas long…

An old family firm that died out.

Ask in the hairdressers where they get their scissors done, my brother in law does it but he is only in the south East.

Some sharpeners don't do pinking shears as it's hard on the stone that they use but I get about a year out of each sharpening.
