Hi Jim, would be great to see how you repair a ride line of curved scissors, cheers

Thanks

Great save on the damaged shears.

Wow - the scissors I've been sharpening pass the tissue test. I'm doing better than I thought.

Great video, I recently picked up a vintage 8 inch Sanmann pair of scissors with black handles. They don't look like barber shears, I wanna say they are fabric shears. Problem is, somewhere down the line they were badly resharpened and took off so much steel, that they changed the factory angle. I can't determine the proper angle. Every pair of scissor's I have seem to have a different angle. Any suggestions on what angle I should recut? I can't mess them up anymore than they already are. Lol Thanks

What make is the machine your using for convex scissors?

Can you do beauty shears on a twice as sharp?

(6:52/18:08) please let me know where to find the tool you are using to get the tips of the scissors to meet together.

Beautiful work, as always sir! Do you usually go up to 9 micron on all grooming shears or just the convex ones?

Actually I rarely go over a 15, but this one had such heavy scratches on the surface I went one extra step; which actually didn’t help much to be honest.

Awesome video!!!!

Ok !!!!!

How much is the service fee the first time?

Where can I buy this stone?

Hey Jim, great video!! I have a question; I have had so many shears come through that were not at 45°, I have had some as low as 30°. When bringing them to 45° I feel I am taking a lot of material off. Would you say it's better to match the angle, gradually bring the angle to 45°, or just cut it to 45° right away? Thanks Jim

Either way will work, but the better answer would be make it 45 degrees if it should be 45 degrees. You are taking off a good bit of metal, but it’s mostly off the face of the blade, so you’re not taking more “life” off the shear. How you take that metal off quickly and properly would be a good topic for another video. I’ll see about getting one worked up for you.

@@JimSharpBlog Holy cow Jim, great answer!! That's why you're the expert! Makes total sense and I look forward to the video should you choose to create one on this topic.

Making it very complicated You must keep it simple.

Hello, do you sell the handle bender. I've never got into bending handles because I'm afraid of breaking them.

You can get them from Dennis at Hamaguri USA. There is a link in the drop down box under the video.

Me too... I also not try to align...

Now THIS is a scissor sharpening video. Until now I had only found the homeowner life hack type that just use a file so they can cut sand paper again...

Hi Jim… interested in this trade… do you have any info on where I could get tools/certifictaions, classes… thanks in advance

Hey Dr. J. I'm not sure if I missed it but have you ever shown your Sharpening van? I 'd be interested to see how you ser it up. Also how tall are you? I'm a bit over 6" and trying to figure what's gonna be the best bet.

6" is average. You're good, bro.

I want to get into shear sharpening but the flat hones are soooo pricey. Any suggestions?

@JimSharpBlog

I understand, but the pay back from buying units like this can be pretty quick. For instance, you can pay for a Kleen machine like the one you see in this video after you’ve sharpened just 132 shears at just $25/ shear. That’s the low average for sharpening beauty shears in the USA. That means if you hustle and get just 6 shears per day to sharpen you can pay yourself back in a month. I sell all the flat hones I rep at a discount, and there are a couple of other less pricey options, but for that info you’ll need to reach out to my via email at otenews@gmail.com.

rent one???

Interesting...I had to pass a test sharpening beauty shears by hand using stones before I was “certified “ so it’s possible but probably not without specialized training.

grit around 1k?

I had no idea what it takes to properly sharpen shears.
