About
A workshop where you know who is handling your tools
Blunt scissors can no longer make a clean, precise cut. With expert maintenance we can keep them working and extend their useful life.
How the work is done
I started sharpening scissors in the family dog-grooming salon, where the need for expert maintenance of grooming scissors became clear. From that beginning grew, step by step, a specialisation in sharpening hairdressing and grooming scissors and in maintaining other cutting tools.
In my work I put precision, considered workmanship and preserving the character of each tool first. I treat every pair of scissors individually, because their condition, blade geometry and the effects of earlier work all differ.
My aim is not just to sharpen the cutting edge, but to get the scissors working as well as possible, given their construction and actual condition.
Precise blade sharpening
When sharpening hairdressing and grooming scissors I take the blade construction into account and keep its proper geometry. On scissors with a convex cutting edge I make sure its shape is preserved; on scissors with a classic bevel edge I adapt the sharpening to that design. The aim is a quality cut without unnecessary changes to the blade geometry.
How the workshop works
Precision under the microscope
I inspect every blade under the microscope before starting, during the work and after it. That lets me follow the condition of the cutting edge and the progress of the sharpening precisely, and control how much material comes off. The aim is to remove only as much material as is needed for a quality cut.

Thorough inspection of the tool
Before starting I assess the condition of the blades, any damage and the effects of earlier work. On scissors I also check their geometry and the condition of the ride surfaces, as all of this affects the quality of the cut.

Controlled removal of material
I remove only as much material as is needed to restore the cutting edge. The aim is an effective cut with as little intervention in the material as possible, keeping the tool’s working life as long as possible.

Preserving the blade geometry
With hairdressing and grooming scissors I pay particular attention to the geometry of the cutting edge and to precisely working and polishing the ride line. The two blades working together correctly is essential for smooth sliding and a quality cut.

Straightening and restoring damaged scissors
A drop can deform the blades so the scissors no longer cut properly. Where possible I straighten the blades and restore the conditions for correct operation. Badly deformed scissors may need more demanding work, with a risk that the blade cracks or breaks. I may repeat the straightening and cut-checking several times, because the blades have to work together correctly along their full length, including the tip.

Cutting test and final adjustment
After sharpening I reassemble the scissors, set the right blade tension and test the cut in practice. If the result is not right, I find the cause and make further adjustments as needed. I pay particular attention to the tip, as the scissors must cut properly along the full length of the blades. The aim is the best possible result for the condition and construction of each pair. If scissors cannot be properly restored despite the work, I do not charge for the sharpening.
