    Just about every mall has a cutlery store.
    Every one of those shops I've been to, they do sharpening in addition to selling knives.
    It's my guess that you can bring your sgian dubh into one of these places and have it sharpened for what shouldn't be more than $5.
    Wear your kilt proudly, but carry a big stick

    It's really quite simple to bevel the edge with a file and sharpen it with a stone. I can't imagine paying someone else to do it for me. What do you do when your blade's dull and you need to slice a tomato; go buy another knife?
