Does anyone know if there's anywhere that does scissor sharpening in the south?

wow, you just reminded me of many years ago the bloke that used to go round Los Cristianos on his moped with his knife/scissor sharpening machine on the back... he'd blow one of those pan flutes to let you know he was in the area.... but not sure where you could go, probably a ferreteria!

LOL yeah, probably not the same man, he was getting on a bit and his moped was pretty ancient too, and i'm talking 20 years ago :D ... glad to hear someone seems to be still making a living out of it though :)

Can't ride a bike so can't see me riding a moped with one hand and holding the pipes with the other, might have to go into partnership with somebody,:moped::moped:

Seriously people, he's riding a quad bike now! There must be money in the business!
See him in the Valle every few weeks.

Can't you just buy a sharpener from a ferreteria? Think I've seen them at Chafiras in Las Chafiras! Easy to do.

They're dressmaking scissors and I cannot afford to ruin them completely! But thank you for the comment.

In the ferreteria on the main straight in Costa del Silencio just before Coral Mar.

It is the one down the ramp on the left just before the Albatross Bar.

He sharpens knives and scissors, or he did a couple of years ago..May be worth a look.
