NYKeys Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 We do knife sharpening but we don't touch hair salon scissors. Is there a trade service we can send them off to? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I do loads of them on my Tormek system, they come out really well. The only thing I could do with would be a stock of the little white, plastic, shaped washers that they have in them. I've found since the pandemic started barbers/hairdressers started using a stronger barbicide to stand them in. This breaks down the plastic washers so when you take them apart to clean them the washer falls apart. I've even seen scissors where the barbicide has eaten away the enamel patterning on the scissors down to the bare metal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaloti Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 A couple of years ago I bought (all new) a load of kit to do scissor and knife sharpening. I've never had the time to follow it thru so I'll probably put it all up for sale in the next week or so. BIG AL PRICE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I don’t think by the time you’ve paid postage both ways you’d be competitive on pricing. Buy a tormek and do them yourself. keithm, Mick Friend and hakeemz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David C Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I've made a few van keys recently for Rob Lewis at new-profiles.co.uk who offer a postal service for scissors and clippers. info@new-profiles.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
