Wide Clipper Blade Sharpening
Precision‑Controlled Sharpening for Wide A5 Clipper Blades (Mail‑In Service)
This service is designed specifically for wide clipper blades that require craft‑level, precision‑controlled sharpening. All sharpening is performed with manual control and oversight—no automated feed machines are used—to ensure proper cutter‑to‑comb geometry, even pressure, and reliable cutting performance across the full blade width.
A wide clipper blade is defined as any clipper blade cutter and/or comb over 2 inches wide with no ceramic components. This includes wide 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 so the blade is returned fully usable and cutting correctly.
Images shown are examples of clipper blades that qualify for this service.
