Here are a few guidelines to help you get an idea of the cost for sharpening services. Please note that this guide is a “ballpark” estimate… the amount of wear/damage to your blade can effect the final price.

Most kitchen knives follow my $0.75/inch of blade length($0.30/cm) pricing scheme. So an 8 inch long chef knife would be $6 to sharpen(8×0.75=6). Some finely/micro serrated knives are too difficult to sharpen… I need to be able to get in between the serrations. 

Hunting, fishing, tactical and pocket knives run $1.00/inch of blade length($0.40/cm) If I feel they are of simple design and geometry, I will use the kitchen knife price scheme. Axes and hatchets run about $8-$10

Gas / Electric Mowers (Blade OFF) $10
Garden Shears and Pruners $10-$15
Spades, Hoes and Edgers $8
Scythe $15-$25
Woodworking chisels $3-$5
I can also sharpen most drill bits above 1/16″(2mm) but need to see them, first
***I cannot sharpen planer, jointer or other precision machine blades***

Hair Cutting Scissors/Shears and Straight Razors can be of many different geometries and construction. I can sharpen most but these require a bit more attention. A very rough estimate would be $15-$25 for scissor and razors.
Swords and all other blades of unusual size, please inquire.
