This service is designed for professional grooming clipper blades that require hand-executed, craft-level sharpening. All work is performed by hand—no automated sharpening machines are used—to ensure precise edge geometry, proper cutter-to-comb interaction, and reliable cutting performance. Each blade is held and guided by hand using a magnetic fixture—never run through automated feed machines.
A small clipper blade is defined as any clipper blade cutter and/or comb under 2 inches wide with no ceramic components. This service includes professional A5 removable clipper blades and compatible systems from manufacturers such as Oster, Andis, Wahl, and equivalent brands.
Any worn or damaged components required to restore proper blade function will be replaced as needed to ensure the blade is returned fully usable and cutting correctly.
Images shown are examples of clipper blades that qualify for this service.
Each clipper blade is individually evaluated and serviced using disciplined, craft-focused methods:
Complete disassembly
Thorough cleaning of blades and internal components
Spring tension adjustment
Socket inspection
Hollow grinding of cutter and comb
Precision deburring
Reassembly
Backset set to factory specifications
Proper lubrication
Final test cutting to verify smooth, consistent performance
Pronunciation: sho-ku-nin
Meaning:
