I sharpen convexed scissors with a ketiped sharpenner found on Amazon. I make a special clamp for scissors. Works great with diamonds and CBN stones. Thanks for the video. Sharpening is titillating.
Wow! Gotta say, that's some kind of impressive. 👌 I love how much the feel, feedback & sounds gets noticed when you sharpen. It reminds me of welding, oddly enough lol. That's a fantastic job & attention to detail! What does a service like that cost, if you don't mind? It hardly gets taken into consideration the talent, knowledge & supplies that go into a quality service like this. WTFG man! I'm jealous 🤫🤣 Cheers
This is fascinating! If I ever manage to get a small sharpening business up and running like I hope too, I'd love to own a TAS machine. This has confirmed that! Can I be so bold as to make a request for future content? Can we get a look at your serrated knife sharpening technique? I have been really struggling to dial in a quick and effective serrated kitchen knife sharpening method. Thanks for putting this stuff out there!
Very good detailed video. I think you did a great job. As far as the flat hone goes, I don’t agree. I think it’s not any quicker and I think you can do just as good a job with a twice as sharp with the con vaccine clamp. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it. I try to keep the stones very flat, but was just having some issues with a cheap lapping stone on the other side, so flipped to the fresh side while I look for a better one.
I currently have a side business Sharpening knives. I am seriously considering getting a TAS with the amount of scissor requests I get. Did you get someone to show you how to sharpen the convex beauty sheer style ones or did you go through trial and error? Cheers.
I learned it from a Wolff Industries instructional series here on youtube. I believe it's called "Wolff Weekly". They share loads of good information and this particular method is outlined in their video about convexing.
Thank you. It's a type of hair extensions from Amazon. Not the most ideal as it has a slightly different feel to real hair, but still very useful for testing in my opinion.
I actually acquired a Hira-To flat hone recently and there is no comparison for convex shears. It does a better job and much faster. However the Twice As Sharp is very useful and I still use it for just about any other type of scissor. They both excel at different things.
Great info Al! I have the regular TAS and was going to add a Hira-To for convex. What then are the advantages? Quicker convexing for 3 times the price?
This seems incredibly labor intensive and annoying to do a batch of? Also, how long does these kinds of scissors last if one have to take off material this far up every time?
Thanks for a really good detailed and descriptive video.

Thank you. I charge $25 / pair for this service. It takes me about 15-20 minutes a pair. Planning to get a flat-hone eventually and charge more.

Thanks, that's definitely on the list. Hopefully coming soon.

Outstanding job!
Thanks Al, this is very good information on this particular type or shears.
Why do you use the "back" of the Kuromaku stones to hone/sharpen?
😎👍
Appreciate it. I try to keep the stones very flat, but was just having some issues with a cheap lapping stone on the other side, so flipped to the fresh side while I look for a better one.
@@alsmobilesharpening thanks. I can see the need for a perfectly flat stone for convex shears. 😁👍

Excellent video. Where do you get your synthetic test hair?
Thank you. It's a type of hair extensions from Amazon. Not the most ideal as it has a slightly different feel to real hair, but still very useful for testing in my opinion.
@@alsmobilesharpening Thank you for your quick reply.
so far I've had good luck with doing a 10 degree angle on convex shears, polishing and archone for the ridelines, no complaints so far nice cutting!
So you prefer twice as sharp over the flat hone? Thinking of investing in one. Twice as sharp.

@@alsmobilesharpening that Hira is pricey.
@@robertmunguia250 Boy it sure is. I lucked out and found a used one locally. Don't know if I could justify the price of a new one.
What flat home machine would you get if you went in that direction? Frank Sharp Solutions of Lakewood Ranch.
Definitely the Hira-To. Looking at a used one locally right now, very tempting.
Great info Al!
I have the regular TAS and was going to add a Hira-To for convex. What then are the advantages? Quicker convexing for 3 times the price?
@@ruftime I'm not sure how much quicker it'll be, but definitely much more precise and efficient for convex shears. That price tag is no joke though.
This seems incredibly labor intensive and annoying to do a batch of? Also, how long does these kinds of scissors last if one have to take off material this far up every time?
Yeah, I'm showing how to get the job done with this specific equipment. Flat hone is better and faster.
@@alsmobilesharpening Do you charge more for all this work?
