Feature List

Keeping the knife edge sharp is vital to its effective performance and long life. Some scissors and shears are not ground with a knife edge and those items cannot be sharpened with the sharpening stone. Examples of scissors and shears which do not have a knife edge are embroidery scissors and pinking shears. Refer to our product pages where individual items are shown to find out which products can be sharpened with the stone.If the knife edge becomes damaged, as it might if you have accidentally dropped your scissors or shears or cut over something hard like metal or plastic, the sharpening stone cannot repair that damage. Damage to the cutting edges necessitates proper regrinding of the edges, recontrolling of the blades and resetting of the points. In the case of damaged Gingher products we recommend our own repair service. The knife edge is a sharply beveled edge which looks quite different from the normal edge on the opposite blade. The blade bearing the Gingher trademark is the normal edge blade and it should never be honed with the sharpening stone. Only the knife edge should be honed.
