See what your edges see.
A cutting edge looks sharp to the eye long after it stops cutting well. Use the lab to see what weeks of use do to an edge under magnification, and why a proper sharpen is more than a quick grind.
Three edges, three jobs.
Each needs a different machine and a different hand. That's why we never send a convex scissor through a bevel jig.
Clipper blade
A flat-honed cutter running across a comb. Sharpness comes from two dead-flat faces meeting, not from an angled edge.
Bevel scissor
A flat angled bevel, often with micro-serrations to grip. Tough and forgiving, and the standard for grooming scissors.
Convex scissor
A curved, razor-fine edge for slide-cutting. The sharpest and the easiest to ruin. Hand-honed on stones only.
Why quick sharpening doesn't last.
Grinding pushes a thin wire of metal, the burr, over the edge. It feels sharp for a day, then folds over and the tool is blunter than before. Removing the burr properly takes fine honing and time.
Every Edgewise sharpen ends with burr removal and a test-cut, so the edge you get back is the edge that lasts.
