Frequently asked questions and answers

Do you sharpen brands other than Geib/ Buttercut shears?
Yes we sharpen all brands of scissors.

How much does it cost to sharpen other brands?
We put the edge we believe will best suit the scissor while keeping in mind the varying factory edge. We do not look to put the most expensive edge on every shear, but the best suited for it. With this said, figuring out the cost over the phone can be difficult. If you are not sure what the brand of scissor will cost, please ask us to call with a total when finished.

How should I pack my shears?
Ideally, put your shears in whatever case they came in or wrap them in newspaper, bubble wrap, etc. Then put them in some package with extra filler if necessary.

How long will it take until I receive my sharpening?
Turn around time is generally two weeks. We need your shears for about 5-8 business days. Please also allow time for shipping which varies depending on destination. If this is too long, may we suggest purchasing backup shears.
