[Histonet] Steel blade sharpening

[Hannen, Valerie]

Good Morning all,

We  am coming out of the dark ages!!  We are going to be transitioning to disposable blades in the very near future. My main problem now , is that I may not get the equipment( disposable blade holder or new Microtomes)  that I

will need soon enough ( we are running out of compounds needed to sharpen these blades ourselves).

  I am waiting for review and approval of this equipment, so in the mean time I may need to send my steel microtome blades out to be sharpened.  We are on the East Coast of Florida ( @ 1 hour away from Orlando).

I am reaching out to you all asking if you know of any companies relatively close to me that sharpen these blades.

Thanks so much in advance for any help and insight you may give me.
