DON'T! LET ME REPEAT, DON'T SEND SCISSORS THAT YOU CARE ABOUT TO SAMURAI SHARPENING SERVICE!!!! WHAT A DISASTOR!!!
I so agree with the other 1-star reviewers. This woman doesn't know what she is doing. I sent my 9" Hoffritz sewing shears to Samurai Sharpening Service via Whisk (197 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.) where she picks up orders. It took from Tuesday to Tuesday to get them back which was okay.
The blades and tips weren't particularly dull but just needed a bit of honing to sharpen the edges. I had no idea this woman was pretending to sharpen scissors.
When I got the scissors back, they wouldn't cut room temperature butter. There were blunt dull spots along the blades and the tips didn't nip the fabric edge at all. In short, the scissors don't cut at all now! Whisk refunded my money on the spot so they are not responsible for such shoddy work.
Be forewarned, nothing with this business owner is worth your frustration, time, money, scissors or knives.
Keep looking and find a more reputable and knowledgeable company to handle your sharpening needs. Which I now have to do. read more
