We Can Cut Micro Grooves

Tailoring And Seamstress Scissors

From budget household scissors to premium brands like Zwilling or Whiteley, we handle them all. These high-quality scissors often become family heirlooms—some arrive at our door after decades of use, ready for renewal. Even everyday scissors, including IKEA pairs, benefit from a professional edge for cleaner, easier cutting.

Our professional training and specialist equipment ensure your scissors are restored to a factory-fresh edge for effortless cutting. We can also sharpen pinking shears in most cases.

Among the finest tailoring scissors are William Whiteley & Sons, renowned for their precision and craftsmanship. Their Extra Sharp range, featuring one micro-grooved blade and one plain blade, prevents fabric from slipping while remaining lightweight and comfortable to use.

Domestic Scissors

These could vary from the almost a really inexpensive product, typified by flimsy flat blades with plastic hand pieces to the lifelong products from quality makers like Zwilling or Whitely at £50 or more; these top end products tend to be passed to following generations some of who turn up at our door wanting a sharp edge put back - we can of course do that and also the pair from IKEA.

Sharpened Means A New Life

Industrial Scissors

Industrial scissors are built for heavy-duty use in manufacturing, textiles, upholstery, and other demanding applications. We restore their cutting performance to like-new, reducing operator fatigue and ensuring precision on tough materials.

Sharpening Scissors On The Best Equipment

There are three major kinds of scissor edges are found in the mainstream. Here’s the equipment we use that sharpens them to factory specification or better

Twice As Shap Scissor Sharpening Machine

Twice as Sharp

The industry standard scissor sharpener is the "Twice As Sharp” This is made by renowned USA shear manufacturer Wolffe industries, who uses these machines in daily production of their top end products

Hira-To

This is the professional sharpenre's preferred flat hone machine usedfor the sharpening of and re profiling fully convex scissors. It can also be used to re edge thinning scissors.

Okami Gold

We use a dedicated diamond wheel on the Twice as Sharp, then a unique hone specifically for hairdressing and animal grooming scissors.

Corru-gator

This is the professional sharpener's most effective way of adding grooves (72 or 48 per inch) to groomer’s and industrial scissors. Producing better results than the traditionall specialist grooving file.
For some users there is a more coarse cut 48 groves per inch for special duty scissors for poultry, kevlar, carbon fibre and other tough to cut products

6000 & 8000 Grit Whetstones

Water and some frim but gentle strokes on the ultra fine whetstones we use make the rideline, the part where the cutting edges meet, perfectly flat and mirror like. The scissors the glide shut cutting with little noise after this treatment. We flatten the stones frequently to ensure precision.

The Precise Ride

Can’t make a rounded rideline on the ever more popular curved grooming scissors on the tradditional whetstone so we have invested in the "Precise Ride" to reproduce that factory edge with precision and ease, offering better cutting power all round the curve.
