Turn-Key Business Patented Sharpening Machine Accessories Package Training Customer List Marketing Support Patented Sharpening Machine    Scissors sharpening has been around since the first invention of scissors. The industry has changed over the years, but not as fast as many other industries. In the past forty years there have only been two changes in the equipment used to sharpen hair cutting scissors. The first was the advent of the flat hone. This system was invented to allow the operator to match the convex edge on the Japanese style hair styling shear. Prior to that all sharpening was done on a grinder. Placing the cutting edge of a blade against the convex edge of a grinding wheel created the opposite - a concave or bevel edge. While the flat hone allowed the operator to match the convex edge, it did nothing to address the 800 millimeter radius that was an integral part of the Japanese style shear. The flat hone, flattened - straightened - the 800 millimeter radius on the blade, causing it to push the hair instead of giving a clean, no effort cut. After twenty years or more of relying on the flat hone that straightened the radius or the grinder that destroyed the convex edge the professional sharpener finally had a new choice. The 2006 patent of the Diamond Rose Superior Sharpening system finally provided the professional scissors sharpener a method of addressing both the convex edge and the 800 millimeter radius. The astute individual looking for the best sharpening system will choose the Diamond Rose Superior Sharpening system over the antiquated flat hone regardless of their un-substantiated claims or cheaper price some offer.
