K & K Sharpening brings razor-sharp precision to your scissors blades.

We professionally sharpen fabric, crafting, and utility scissors.

You will be able to cut twice as much twice as easy after we sharpen your scissors with our TWICE AS SHARP system.

While some people may successfully sharpen scissors on stones, that is not our preferred method because getting the right angle using that method is extremely difficult. Instead, we use the Twice as Sharp scissors sharpener.

When you entrust us with your scissors sharpening, we’ll ask you a few questions first such as: what do you typically cut with them? why do you believe they are not cutting like they should? and have they been previously sharpened?

Next we clamp the scissors onto the arm and perform a scratch test, and adjust the angle to get it as close to the original manufacturer’s angle as possible. What is a scratch test?

A scratch test is when we use a red Sharpie marker to indicate where a blade makes contact with a sharpening wheel, revealing the sharpening angle. By adjusting the angle of the blade in the clamp, the scratch mark should be evenly distributed across the entire beveled edge, from the back of the blade to the cutting edge. This test helps determine the correct angle to sharpen the scissors, ensuring the edge is properly formed and the blade is functional.

Then we grind on the sharpening wheel then hone on the honing wheel. If it’s where we want to be, we’re almost done. If not, we’ll repeat the process.

While the honing wheel should remove the burr, just to be sure it’s removed we take a couple of extra steps to remove it. Then we try cutting the same material you said you were cutting - whether that be paper, fabric, or upholstery. If it cuts like a champ, we’re satisfied and we’re confident you will be too.
