Famoré scissors and products are made from high grade German stainless steel or high grade Japanese stainless steel. No precision instruments last forever but with regular care they can last a long time. The following preventative actions will keep your tools working longer and efficiently:

1. Make sure to stick to one kind of material when using our scissors. Famoré brand scissors can be used for many projects and different materials, but switching between materials can damage scissors. If you use your scissors for paper, try not to use them for fabric and vice versa.

2. Keep scissors and other metal tools away from high moisture environments.

3. Oil your scissors accordingly to usage. If you use them every day, oil your scissors once a week. If you use them once a week or less, oil them monthly. (Use any 3-in-1 oil or sewing machine oil.)

We offer free sharpening services for all Famoré-branded scissors for domestic users, excluding large-scale or commercial use. If you’re mailing them in, we simply ask that you cover the shipping and handling fee, which is $8. There is no fee if you bring your scissors to us at a show or drop them off at our office.

Using Famoré scissors in larger quantities or for commercial purposes? Companies requiring bulk servicing must contact Famoré directly for pricing and service quotes.

Not Famoré? No problem! We’re happy to sharpen other brands for $1 per inch (for example, an 8" shear would be $8).

We do not sharpen knives, swords, or anything similar.

Most likely! Please send an email to mbrown@famcut.com with all the details of your event, including the when, where, how many people are expected, what kind of prize support you're interested in (physical items, gift cards, both), etc.

(Please note, if you are a con in its first year, we would love to work with you once you're more firmly established.)
