Scissor, clipper blade and knife sharpening · Koper
A well-sharpened tool cuts better than a new one.
Scissors, clipper blades and knives, sharpened by hand by Igor Komadina himself. For salons, kitchens, butchers and individuals. Drop off in Koper or post from Slovenia, Croatia and Italy.
A workshop for tools that are used every working day
Tools reach the workshop by post and in person in Koper — from Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. The best proof of quality is customers sending them back again.
Under the microscope
The edge tells you what happened to it
Every blade goes under a microscope before anything is ground — that is where the amount of metal to remove is decided.
Before. A chip running back from the apex, the kind a bone strike leaves.
After. An even bevel after grinding, with the burr removed.
Industries
Every trade wears an edge in its own way
The same blunt edge folds hair in a salon, tears the coat in grooming, leaves meat on the bone in a butcher’s.
-
Grooming salons
The dog feels a dull blade set before you do. Grooming shears and snap-on clipper blades are sharpened at a controlled angle, and cutter and comb are matched as a pair.
-
Hair salons
When the blades no longer meet, the stylist grips harder, hundreds of times a shift. Shears are stripped, sharpened on both blades and re-tensioned; a convex pair gets its own treatment.
-
Restaurants and hotels
Sharpening of professional kitchen knives for restaurants, hotel kitchens and catering operations.
-
Butchers and food industry
Sharpening of boning and skinning knives, cleavers, slicer blades and mincer sets for butcher's shops and cutting rooms.
Method
What is done to the blade, and why
-
01
You deal directly with the person doing the work
The same person takes the tools in, sharpens them and explains. No counter to disappear behind.
-
02
Assessment first, sharpening second
The assessment shows how much metal actually has to come off. No more.
-
03
The edge is built in stages, with cooling
Coarse to fine grit at a controlled angle. The steel never overheats.
-
04
Shears are serviced, not just sharpened
Stripped, cleaned, both blades sharpened and re-tensioned.
-
05
If a tool cannot be saved, you hear it first
If a tool is past saving you are told before the work, and you do not pay for it.
Services
