I just got my scissor back from being serviced and it doesn't cut right - What's wrong?

First... don't panic; we stand behind all of our work. Review the 'Care and Maintenance" information that is on the back of the technical report enclosed with your scissor.

Check the tension adjustment of your scissor; often, parts are replaced during service and some of the parts may 'settle' or 'seat' during shipping.

Also, be aware that your scissors will most likely feel different than when you sent them in - they're balanced and sharp now!

OK, I've confirmed the tension and checked my cutting technique, what if I'm unhappy with my sharpening?

IMMEDIATELY contact us for assistance. We stand behind our work and We will help you.
