Understanding what makes a Good Sharpener
Education, Skill & Tools are Keys to being a Professional Sharpening Technician.
Education: My Education has taken me all over this Planet, including being invited to receive Training in many of the Top Scissor Factories in the World. Also having made personal relationships and personalized Training with some of finest Craftsman, and Scissor Smiths in the Industry.
Skill: The Skill that I have developed since I started Shear Mechanix in 2004 has been the result of Spending Countless Hours behind the Machines, Understanding the Complex Geometry of Scissors, Followed by Mastering Advance Sharpening Applications required for Sharpening Scissors to meet the Needs of so many Top Level Stylists...in 19 Years I have Sharpened in Excess of 35,000 Scissors for my Clients
Tools: I have Partnered directly with a Machine Manufacturing Company and contributed in Designing areas of the Sharpening Machines that I use. I also am a Direct Distributor for these machines within the United States as a Supplier to many Sharpeners within the Sharpening Industry.
President of the National Beauty Tool Sharpens Guild (NBTSG)
As the former President (as of May of 2023) of the (NBTSG) National Beauty Sharpeners Guild I am very well connected with the Professional Sharpening Industry within the United States. I have been the President since 2018...and Connected as a Board Member since 2014.
I only put this on this page so you can understand the Role I have played as a Trainer and Educator in the Sharpening Industry. My effort as President of the NBTSG was to Elevate the Sharpening Industry with as many Certified Sharpeners as Possible within the United States.
So, there are good quality Sharpeners out there....but very "Few" in comparison to the Unqualified (You Tube) Sharpeners
