Japanese shear sharpening advice
The best service starts with the actual blade. Tell us what the shear is doing and which model it is, and we’ll discuss the next step.
Preserve the blade geometry
Different grinds and tooth designs call for different sharpening methods. A convex edge, a bevel and a thinner should not be treated as interchangeable.
How to ask for help
Name the model
Send the maker, model and size, plus a note on how the blades are behaving.
Discuss the edge
We’ll help identify an appropriate sharpening or service path for its grind and condition.
Pack only when instructed
If a mail-in service is offered, we’ll provide the address and packing steps before you send the shear.
Test after service
Check that the blades meet smoothly and cut as expected before putting the pair back into regular use.
Availability and price depend on the model and edge condition. Please wait for instructions before posting a shear.
