Your Sharpening budget will vary depending on several factors:

1. **Number of items**: The more items a business has, the higher the potential cost for sharpening. Larger establishments with extensive kitchens may require a higher budget.

2. **Frequency of Sharpening**: If items/tools are sharpened regularly, they may require less intensive sharpening, which can be more cost-effective. However, if knives are allowed to become very dull, it may require more time and effort to restore them.

3. **Type of items**: Different types of items have different costs associated with sharpening. For instance, specialty or high-end scissors may require specialized techniques and may be more expensive to sharpen.

4. **Quality of Service Provider**: Higher quality  sharpening services may charge more, but they may also provide a superior level of service.

5. **In-House vs. Outsourcing**: Some businesses choose to have an in-house  staff member handle  sharpening, which may reduce costs. Others prefer to outsource to professional services.

6. **Location**: The cost of services/shipping can vary depending on the location of the business.

A rough estimate could be anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars annually, but it’s important for each business t to assess their specific needs and negotiate pricing with their chosen service provider. It’s also recommended to factor in the cost of purchasing new “tools” over time, as regular sharpening helps extend the life of the items.
