Bevel edge and convex edge scissors used in the Beauty and Grooming industries as well as industrial scissors. The more common clippers we repair are Oster, Andis, Heiniger and Wahl. Our training is from one of the best sharpening schools in the USA, The American Sharpening Institute, located in Minnesota.

We are located in Victoria B.C. Please call us for directions at 250-886-8321.

We make sure the right piece of equipment is used for the different types of scissors. The clamping system used to match the correct cutting angles adjusts from 0 to 55 degrees. Depending on the scissor we use a honing wheel, diamond wheel, standard sharpening wheel, and polishing wheel. From there we switch to finish by hand with various honing stones.

For clipper blades we use a machine that looks like a record player! Before disassembling the blades, they are washed in a special degreaser to help dissolve build up of residue. Next they go on the grinding disc until they have a smooth even finish. Once this is done, we demagnetize the blade and reassemble. Final step is lubing the blade and checking the tension and then they are ready to be tested for a smooth even cut. With that all done, the blades are ready for use.

For our knife sharpening we have two different machines from Friedrick Dyck that we use depending on the requirements to put a sharp edge back on the knife. We do not sharpen serrated edge knives.
