- How it works
Post it blunt. Get it back sharp.
Everything is designed so you never lose a working day. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you request a pack to the moment your tools are back on the table.
- 01
Request your pack
Order online in about a minute. Tell us roughly what you're sending so we can include enough sleeves. No payment yet.
- 02
Your pack arrives
First class, usually next day. Inside: padded mailer, 6 numbered blade sleeves, 3 scissor wraps, an order slip and a prepaid tracked label.
- 03
Pack and post
Sleeve each blade, wrap each scissor, add the slip and seal it. Drop it at any Post Office or Royal Mail parcel point.
- 04
Check-in
We log and photograph every tool and email you a check-in note: what we received, anything we spotted and the final price.
- 05
Sharpen and test
Blades honed flat and re-set, scissors re-ground to their original angle, every tool test-cut. Usually within 48 working hours.
- 06
Back to you
Oiled, sleeved and returned Tracked 24. You pay by card once your check-in note arrives. Trade accounts pay monthly.

Everything you need. Nothing to buy.
- C5 padded mailer with a prepaid Tracked 48 label
- 6 numbered blade sleeves (ask for more for big orders)
- 3 card scissor wraps and a padded sleeve for convex scissors
- Order slip with space for notes ("tighter pivot please")
- Return label for the next time, so the pack becomes a habit

Posting your own parcel?
No problem. Follow these five rules and your tools will arrive in the state they left.
- Wrap each blade on its own: card or bubble wrap, teeth covered
- Close scissors and wrap the blades in card, tips taped
- Use a padded envelope or small box, not a plain envelope
- Include your name, phone, email and return address
- Post it tracked. For convex scissors, use Special Delivery
Workshop address: Edgewise Workshop, Manchester M00 0XX
If it's not right, we redo it free.
If anything we sharpened isn't cutting right within 14 days, send it back with a note. We re-sharpen it and cover postage both ways.
