Butte Blade Sharpening

[The Rezerend]

Does anyone know of a place in Butte to get Jiffy blades sharpened?

Check at the Sheep Shearers Union machine shop on the SW corner of Platinum and Main in the bottom of the red building next to the alley.  They used to sharpen lots of stuff for me when I was ranching.  I usually just buy new blades.

As odd as it sounds, Butte Jewelers on 53 W. Broadway sharpens auger blades as well.  I started taking my auger blades to them last year and the guy does a real good job at a very reasonable rate.  He did all mine while I waited.  My auger blades are for an Eskimo and they are of the "serregated" type, so they arn't particulary easy to sharpen in my opinion.

Thanks for the tip there waterloo.  I love to support local business.

Ya thanks waterloo. I called and the guy that does the sharpening is gone until the 16th. Neither the sheapshearer's union or whitehead do it. I guess I'll have to deal with what I have until then.

So I'm also going to buy a spare blade for my Jiffy 8" White Lightning. Does anyone know where in town to find Jiffy Blades. All I've seen so far are Strikemasters. If nooone knows of anywhere I'll order them off the website.
Thanks

bugs-n-bullets, and Franz Johnsons, were the only 2 places in town that had replacement blades (and very few) when I went looking for some 3 days ago.
