Clipper Blades

Restore your clipper blades to better-than-new. We use The Shop Inc. sharpening machine specifically designed for this purpose. Blades are cleaned, sharpened, tension adjusted, demagnetized, oiled, and tested. Replacement parts, including new metal or ceramic cutters, are available at cost. If your blade attaches to your clipper with screws, please bring the whole unit (machine and blades) so that we can test the blade properly before returning.

Large animal / livestock (equestrian, sheep, alpaca, etc.) - $13

Adjustable 5-in-1 - $15

Haircutting Shears

First developed in Japan, today, most beauty, barber, and grooming shears have convex or semi-convex edges and are hollow ground on the inside of the blades. They only touch along what's called a "rideline" or "honeline," greatly reducing friction and fatigue from hours of use. These shears require disassembly, cleaning, honing on the inside rideline with water stones, outside edges sharpened, burrs removed, polishing, reassembly, lubrication, tension adjustment, and testing. It's really quite a process!

We sharpen on a flat hone with Hamaguri USA clamp to preserve the convex or bevel edge where appropriate. ​Replacement parts are available at cost.

$25

Bring back the joy of cooking and chores by keeping your cutting tools sharp! We charge a flat rate for standard sharpening of kitchen and everyday use knives, regardless of size, from the smallest paring knife to the largest bread and chef knives. Multi-blade pocket knives are charged per blade.

Knives with micro-serrations can be polished and refreshed, or we can regrind them with a new plain edge, if you prefer, for a nominal fee -- making them easier to maintain at home.

Plain edge - $6; Serrated - $8

Wooden Handle Spa Treatment

Includes a light sanding to remove splinters and rough corners and a soak in boiled linseed oil, helping to restore color and water-resistance for a longer-lasting handle.

$3.50

Damaged Edges

Sometimes, blades need a little extra love to remove extreme rust or debris, a protruding bolster, large chips, repair broken/bent tips, or other damage. Restoring the proper profile and angles is the goal. Save your tool from the landfill and get years more life out of it!

$3+

Please test your tools within seven days. If you aren't satisfied for whatever reason, just let us know. We will make it right.
