Professional Reconditioning and Sharpening of all types of Clipper Blades, Scissors, Shears & Related Equipment Including Veterinary Surgical Scissors.
Did you know that with clippers simple things such as a worn or loose drive system can drastically affect the performance of your clippers?
We sell & repair all types of clipper and trimmers including Oster, Andis, Lister, and Wahl. I stock most Oster A5 and Andis AG/AGC parts in house for speedy service & repairs. All replacement parts are genuine manufacturer original parts. The clipper/trimmer will be disassembled, checked for worn parts, parts replaced, and checked for correct operation.

BLADE SHARPENING PROCESS
All clipper blades are sharpened by the same process used at the factory. Most blades need to be hollow ground and we accomplish this by sharpening on equipment that hones a precision hollow grind the same as the factory does.
All blade parts are kept in order in aluminum trays to keep the parts of each blade together and prevent mixing parts.
After the blades are disassembled, cleaned, and blown off they are put on the clipper hone and sharpened until the entire cutting surface is honed to a new cutting edge. This usually removes about 1 to 2 thousands of an inch (.001 to .002) (less than the thickness of a human hair) of material. After the blades come off the hone they are again blown clean. The blades are then demagnetized, washed in a degreaser cleaner, and blown dry with compressed air. At this point each blade is oiled and reassembled. The top cutter is aligned and the spring tension is checked. Each blade is tested with a special test string (same as used in the factory). If there are any blades that have been identified as problem blades I test them on rabbit fur. They will cut most any hair if they will cut rabbit fur.
If new blade parts are needed they are replaced. This includes springs, guides, sockets, screws, and even top cutters. If a blade has a broken tooth on the comb I will not sharpen it as this presents a hazard to the animal. Oster #40 blades can have the comb (bottom blade) replaced. All other sizes do not have replacement combs. You can use Oster combs with Andis blades. Please feel free to ask questions about blades and parts replacement.
SCISSOR SHARPENING PROCESS
Scissors can be sharpened on one of several machines. Beveled edge scissors are sharpened on a special machine called a “Twice as Sharp”. This machine has a fixture that can be set to the angle of the beveled edge of the scissors. These scissors can be sharpened relatively easy without taking them apart. Most grooming shears have a beveled edge.
Veterinary scissors that have carbide inserts are sharpened with a diamond stone to ensure a good clean cutting edge.
Higher-end Japanese style shears have a honed edge. These shears are much more involved to sharpen. These higher end shears are usually made of a higher quality steel too. They are sharpened on a flat hone and must be disassembled and each blade sharpened independently by hand and reassembled. Honed shears do cost more to sharpen than beveled edge shears but are much sharper and should be used primarily for finish scissoring.
We sell a number of brands of scissors including Arius Eickert, Buttercut (Geib), Heritage, Kenchii, Oster, Roseline, Shark Fin, and others. I also stock most sizes of A5 type clipper blades in Andis, Oster, and Buttercut, all at competitive prices.
