Most shear blades can be flipped over to expose a new edge. Yours may have this feature. The bottom blades are often perfectly square with 4 cutting edges. The top blade might have a rake angle so only 2 cutting edges, If not, there was a sharp shop here in Fort Collins that would grind blades for $.50/inch. I don't know if they are still around but certainly someone in Denver.
Edit: By the way, I'm also in Fort Collins and I'd be glad to help you adjust your shear. I used to do that sort of thing years ago.
