Scissor Sharpening Process

Your scissors are sharpened using the Wolff Industries Twice as Sharp® system, a professional sharpening setup designed specifically for scissors and shears. This allows for precise, repeatable results on bevel‑edged scissors.

Each pair is:

  • Sharpened to the correct angle

  • Tensioned and aligned

  • Lubricated

  • Tested thoroughly

This process restores your scissors to better‑than‑new cutting performance.

Drop off your scissors at my Windsor workshop and enjoy the difference a professionally sharpened edge makes.
