Hi, we're looking for a good professional screw sharpener for our outfitting business. Looking for 40-60 screws per year to be done throughout the year, and we wouldn't be looking for a quick turnaround.

We're in Loveland, someone in Colorado would be great; any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

Try Bill Leo at Ouray Mountain Sports, Ouray, CO. The last time we were there Bill had a machine that sharpened ice screws.

Isn't his the only Grivel sharpener in North America (or something like that)? Something to consider - Grivel and BD (and presumably Petzl) put different angles on their teeth, not sure what effect sharpening a BD screw to a Grivel angle would be.

Sweet thanks, sorry about not being specific - BD screws will be the bulk of the work.

I sharpen ice screws using a CNC controlled 4-axis milling machine. The great part is I can put an aggressive tooth profile on any generation or brand of steel ice screw.

I'll vouch for Charles - when he finishes your screws will start better than when they were new!
