My Method

1. I meticulously inspect your shears for proper curve, tip alignment, bumper condition, handle alignment, assembly parts, ride line, and edge nicks.

2. A scratch test determines the optimal cutting angle.

3. Using a Hira-To flat hone machine, I skillfully form a new edge at the correct angle, then expertly convex or bevel the outer blade edge.

4. I polish each blade exterior to a pristine finish.

5. Whet stones of varying grits are used to establish, repair, and polish the ride line of each blade.

6. Your shears undergo a thorough cleaning and meticulous reassembly, with parts replaced as necessary.

7. I lubricate the pivot area and blades to ensure smooth operation.

8. Tension is carefully set, ensuring all parts are securely seated.

9. I verify the quality of the new edges through a natural hair cut test.
