Can anyone tell me how I should sharpen my kitchen knives and garden shears please. I have a little gadget for the knives which has 'crossed' prongs but I don't find it much good and it's far too small to use on shears. Thanks in advance for your help.

The ones I have are good quality but just old. I don't want to throw them away and buy new ones just because the blades are a bit blunt, so any ideas?
Lawn mower repair shop might do it ... but I'd make that my last place to check... they usually sharpen blades, but its a rough grind, not a smooth finish. You'd have better luck, if the shop also services chain saws.
Knife stores might have a sharpening service, if you are near a mall with this type of store in it. At the very least they would know someone who could do this for you.
Hardware stores... this is touch and go... some will have someone on staff and others won't.
If you live near any kind of cabinet shop, they might be able to point you to a blade sharpening service. While this type of company would normally deal with saw blades (table saws, etc) some will have some skilled grinders and they could certainly take care of this type of job.
And of course, as several others have suggested already, it's not too expensive to do it yourself. A mill file is handy to quickly remove any knicks in the blades, and an oil stone, or even diamond sharpeners can put a sharp edge on any blades. If this is your first purchase of a sharpener, I would recommend a 'kit'.. as they usually come with at least 2 grades of stone, and oil, and instructions. I happen to do all of my own sharpening, and I have several implements. Just takes a little patience :)
If you cannot find anyone in your area, and you dont want to tackle it yourself, email me, and we'll set something up.
Have Fun
i cant keep buying new ones all the time but i need cheap and easy ways to sharpen my garden shears im no expert lol
Dont forget you can buy a sharpening stone, this works better than the things that come with knife sets. The stone also come in a variety of different sizes.

Basic Gardening Tools: What You Really Need
My yard is 75% dead, if I’m being generous with my estimate. We’ve also discovered that most of the sprinklers are broken. One has a broken sprinkler head, and I think the control box is broken for the front set.
I’ve chosen to see this as an opportunity to replace a lot of the dead plants with native, drought-resistant plants and plant a vegetable garden on the sloped portion of the yard. However, as I begin my project I’m realizing I have only a few basic garden tools. So I’ve been trying to figure out what I really need. Here’s what I’ve come up with.
Hose : Since 2/3s of the sprinklers aren’t working, obviously I need a hose. I have a lemon tree that’s starting to brown and I want to save it.
Trowel : This is the one thing I have, and it seems essential for digging holes for my plants.
Rake : We have this, too. Also essential for raking up the masses of dead leaves in the yard.
