I had a great experience with http://www.icescrewsharpening.com/ but I believe he only does a few runs a season.

This one. It's probably the closest to OP, assuming quick turn-around is of value. But then, the post is 6 months old.

Another vote for griz. I just bought some used screws off of him that he sharpened and they look practically brand new.

I’ve had good luck with the petzl LIM’ICE. Easy to use, and you don’t have to ship your screws anywhere.

I've heard that it only works for petzl screws, any truth to that? 

The LIM'ICE works on other screws, to the extent that it works. Since it's based on a flat file, it will change the geometry of the screw teeth. Also, you still will have to improvise your own jig for "jointing" the teeth--that is, filing from the end of the screw to insure that all the teeth are the same height--before putting the screw into the LIM'ICE. After buying and using one of these tools, I concluded that they are best used for addressing small nicks and incipient dullness, but that they are no substitute for competent re-machining of the screws. In short, you can use the LIM'ICE to get your screws into moderate sharpness, but not into WI5 sharpness.
