Expertise Across a Range of Tools
At RMC Blade Sharpening, we offer a professional blade sharpening service that covers a wide variety of blades. From kitchen knives and gardening tools to grooming scissors, equestrian blades and joinery equipment, we work carefully with each item to restore its edge and keep it working at its best.
Professional Equipment, Professional Results
We use industry-leading sharpening systems, specifically chosen to match the needs of different blade types. From wetstone grinders to clipper blade sharpening systems, we’ve invested in the right machinery to ensure accurate results, every time.
You’ll notice the difference with a sharper edge, smoother cut, and longer-lasting blade, everything you’d expect from a quality professional blade sharpening service.
Our repertoire includes :
• Twice As Sharp® Scissors Sharpener: This machine is specifically designed for sharpening scissors and shears. It features a free-floating arm with a clamp that can be set to match all possible angles on any industrial scissors, grooming shear, or low-end beauty and barber shear up to 14 inches in length. This allows for accurate sharpening, making scissors sharper than new.
• Tormek T-8 Wetstone Grinder: A water-cooled sharpening system that provides precise and repeatable results. The Tormek T-8 is ideal for sharpening knives, axes, scissors, chisels, and more. Its water-cooling feature prevents overheating, preserving the temper of the steel.
• Robert Sorby ProEdge Belt Sander: This belt sharpening system is versatile and efficient, suitable for sharpening bench, framing, carving, and turning chisels, drill bits, plane irons, knives, and garden tools. It comes with a 120 grit Aluminium Oxide Belt and allows for quick belt changes to accommodate different sharpening needs.
By employing this advanced equipment, we ensure that each tool is sharpened to the highest standard, improving performance and extending the lifespan of your blades.
