Scissor sharpening update
We have been sharpening scissors for dog groomers and hairdressers for 14 years and are so grateful to our wonderful customers.  However, the time has come to streamline the services we offer, and sadly, part of that change involves letting go of sharpening scissors for the dog grooming and hairdressing industries (only).  We will continue to sharpen scissors for fabric, embroidery, tailoring, upholstery, kitchen and general household ones too, all of which we love doing. 

Our future plans, and investment, will be focused mostly on knife sharpening, but also concentrating more on our passion for horse and dog clipper repair & service and clipper blade sharpening. 

​To our dog grooming customers, we are still here for you if you ever need clipper blades sharpened, or clipper machines serviced and repaired, separately from the scissors.  Thank you for trusting us with your tools, we have thoroughly enjoyed working with you, it has been a pleasure.
