Nah, for seven bucks you can have the right file, and in 10 minutes
your auger is sharp. Personally, I wouldn't trust a professional
service with anything but a circular saw or chainsaw blade. Heck, they
quite often can't even get a handsaw sharpened correctly. Better
off to learn to do sharpen your tools yourself - you'll be more
likely to do it right, timely, and can have it done on Sundays.
Donning flameproof suit.....(notice I didn't say anything about
ScarySharp (g)).
