Nothing beyond reassembly
No motor, electrical, switch, or cord repair
No additional parts replaced unless explicitly authorized in advance
If parts are needed for an authorized repair, it could delay return times an additional 14 days.
If other issues are identified that require additional parts or labor, the customer will be contacted for approval before any work is performed.
In most cases, no additional work is required.
At times this may be used as a line item to bill for work performed on other brand clippers to perform other labor or parts.
This professional clipper blade sharpening service is built for dog groomers and veterinary clinics that require consistent cutting performance, correct blade geometry, and repeatable results. It supports professional clipper blade systems used in dog grooming, barbering, cosmetology, and veterinary applications.
Each clipper blade is sharpened individually by hand using documented, process-controlled methods. No automated feed machines, belt sharpeners, or batch grinding systems are used. This approach preserves proper cutter-to-comb interaction, restores factory edge geometry, and prevents premature wear commonly caused by mass-production sharpening.
All sharpening is performed at our Nevada City, California workshop and inspected prior to return.
This service applies to standard professional grooming clipper blades, defined as:
Cutter and/or comb under 2 inches wide
Steel (non-ceramic) components

This wide clipper blade sharpening service is designed for professional groomers and veterinary clinics using wide A5 clipper blades that require precise geometry control across an extended cutting surface.
Wide blades place greater demands on sharpening accuracy due to increased surface area and engagement length. Each blade is sharpened individually with full manual control using documented, inspection-driven methods. No automated feed machines, belt sharpeners, or batch grinding systems are used. This ensures even pressure, correct cutter-to-comb alignment, and consistent cutting performance across the full blade width.
All sharpening is performed at our Nevada City, California workshop and inspected prior to return.

This service is for 5-in-1 adjustable clipper blades, commonly used for detail work, finishing, and close-cut applications. These blades differ significantly from standard clipper blades and require controlled handling due to their compact construction and integrated adjustment mechanisms.
We service Wahl 5-in-1 blades as well as compatible 5-in-1 designs from other manufacturers, provided the blade is mechanically sound and within safe service limits. Each blade is inspected before sharpening to determine suitability.
Sharpening focuses on restoring cutting efficiency while maintaining proper blade alignment and function. Because 5-in-1 blades use thinner cutting surfaces and tighter tolerances, not all blades are eligible for service.
Professional inspection prior to sharpening
Precision sharpening appropriate for 5-in-1 blade geometry
Cleaning and functional testing
Return shipping included with mail-in orders
Not all 5-in-1 blades can be safely sharpened.
The following blades may be declined or returned unserviced:
Blades with excessive wear or thinning
Blades with damaged adjustment mechanisms
Blades that have been previously over-sharpened
Blades that no longer meet safe cutting tolerances
If a blade is not serviceable, you will be contacted before any work is performed.
Typical turnaround is defined by the Mail-In Sharpening system and depends on volume and condition. Transit time is not included.

This service is intended for professionals who understand the limitations of 5-in-1 blades and want careful, condition-based sharpening rather than aggressive material removal.
This service is for large animal clipper blades used on horses, cattle, livestock, and other heavy-coat animals. These blades are manufactured from thicker steel and designed to operate under higher torque loads than standard grooming or salon clipper blades.
Large animal blades require a different sharpening approach than small grooming blades. Proper service focuses on restoring cutting efficiency while maintaining edge durability and heat resistance suitable for extended use and dense coats.
Each blade is inspected prior to sharpening to confirm it is mechanically sound and within safe service limits. Blades that cannot be safely serviced will be identified before work proceeds.
Pre-service inspection
Professional sharpening appropriate for heavy-duty blade geometry
Cleaning and functional testing
Return shipping included with mail-in orders
Not all large animal clipper blades are serviceable.
The following may be declined or returned unserviced:
Blades with excessive thinning or deep structural damage
Blades with broken teeth or severe corrosion
Blades previously overheated or improperly ground
Blades outside safe cutting tolerances
If a blade is not suitable for sharpening, you will be contacted before any work is performed.
Turnaround time is defined by the Mail-In Sharpening system and depends on condition and order volume. Shipping transit time is not included.
