Sharpening Service
The Klötzli knifesmithy have been providing a professional resharpening service for knives, scissors and cutlery of all sorts since 1846. Things may have changed since then, but the craftsmanship remains the same – it requires manual skills, patience and a steady hand.
Resharpening
Unlike the sharpening one does at home, professional resharpening is a process that restores the blade to its original state. The polishing of the edge, usually done on a steel or stone, is merely the final step.
These are the 5 main steps:
1. blade shape: correct any dents or deformation
2. blade profile: return the blade profile to its original shape
3. polishing: remove any scratches or sanding marks on the surface of the blade
4. brushing: create a smooth, even surface on the blade
5. sharpening: polish the actual cutting edge of the blade to make it sharp
Scissors
Sharpening Scissors is like sharpening two knives, the scissors need to be taken apart and worked over separately. In 35 steps each pair is completely overhauled and returned to their original state. The large selection of scissors and the countless uses for them calls for an expert eye of the knife maker. Each type of scissors has a different angle of the cutting edge, depending on the purpose of the tool. Resharpening is only done on high quality scissors.
