SHARPENING

  • Sharpening Famoré Scissors


    Famoré scissors can be sharpened FREE at in-person events or when dropped off at our office for domestic use only. This free sharpening excludes large-scale or commercial use. Companies or individuals using Famoré products in bulk must contact Famoré for pricing and service quotes. If you prefer to mail them in, we offer sharpening for a small shipping and handling fee of $8. Payment may be included by check or cash, or you may provide an email address for invoicing.

  • Sharpening Non-Famoré Scissors

    We're more than happy to sharpen your favorite Ginghers or your grandmother's beloved sewing shears! These will be handled with the same care and precision as our Famoré items. The cost for this service is $1 per inch... 8" shear = $8 plus return shipping. Reconditioning is included with this service. Please provide an email address for invoicing.

  • Sharpening Rotary Blades

    YES! We can sharpen your dull rotary blades!
    (The one exception is non-branded blades. These tend to be made out of lesser-quality steel and are difficult to bring up to our standards.) 

    Famoré 28mm/45mm/60mm SKS:.....$2 ea  

    Other brands 45/60mm:...$4/ea

    Famoré 45mm 400TC:.....$5/ea 

    Please note that you will need to pay for return shipping. We can invoice you if you provide us with a phone number and email address.

  • Sharpening FAQs

    • How long is the turnaround time?

    Unless the guys are traveling and have the sharpening equipment with them, we will typically only need 5-10 business days to get your items mailed back to you.

    • How do I pay you?

    If you'd like to mail a check or cash with your scissors, you may. If you would rather include a note with your email address, we can send an invoice once your scissors are ready to ship. 

    • Do you sharpen knives?

    No. We do not sharpen knives, swords, or hair clippers. Some things can't be sharpened because they don't open wide enough to fit on the equipment (like gardening snips). Sometimes they can't be sharpened because they've been sharpened so much and there isn't enough steel left. We will not charge you for items that can't be sharpened. 

    • Do you sharpen pinking shears?

    Yes! Due to difficulty and time, these are $10 regardless of size. 

    • How do I ship them to you?

    Please make sure that any sharp edges are securely covered. Wrap scissors so that they aren't banging against each other in transit. A bubble mailer or a box; whatever you feel comfortable with or have on hand! Mail them to:

    ATTN Sharpening Department

    P.O. Box 1314

    Gainesville, GA 30503 

    • Can these be sharpened?

    If you aren't sure about the condition of your scissors, or if they are something we can sharpen, please send us an email with a picture and we'll let you know! admin@famcut.com
