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. All we ask is that you cover the shipping and handling fee ($6) if you're mailing them in. There is no fee associated if you bring them by at a show or to our office. 

Not Famoré? Not a problem! We will sharpen all other brands for $1/inch (i.e. an 8" shear is $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.)
