Having your shears sharpened has been a necessary
evil, until now. Many stylists have expressed their common sharpening
experience in these words:
I buy a nice pair of shears, use them as long as
possible before they stop working. Then I have them sharpened. They never feel
the same after having them sharpened so I either have to use them or buy new
ones.

Those days are over! We guarantee that your shears will
feel like the first day you got them, OR BETTER!
The Hattori Hanzo Sharpening system operates on a
very simple platform:
Maintain and restore the factory settings that
your shears were originally manufactured with.Nothing more, nothing
less.
The term Japanese Style Shear is the name given to any
shear manufactured with an radius and
convex edge. These characteristics are what make
the Japanese Style Shears the most popular shear in the hair styling world today,
allowing for the use of many cutting techniques not allowed by other
shears.
Most sharpening systems and sharpeners fail to maintain
these factory specifications. Some even admit to putting a sharper angle than
the shears were manufactured with. This is very important for all hair stylists
to understand: The quality of the metal is what determines how sharp of an
angle your shear can maintain. The higher the quality, the sharper the angle.However if a sharper angle is put on a lower quality shear, the edge will not
hold its sharpness and will dull much faster than it should. Many stylists have
experienced this. The hair shears will feel very sharp for a couple of weeks and
then dull very fast.
Again, we operate with the assumption that there is a
reason your shears came with certain specifications from the factory and those
specifications need to be maintained, and if altered by another sharpener,
restored.
Stay Sharp with the system that is used by the top
salons in the world. Hattori Hanzo.
