Post by: Brad Moser on December 15, 2008, 05:13:04 PM
Can I sharpen my wifes convex salon shears on my Tormek? If so how is it done?

I have successfully touched up salon shears, but would not recommend grinding them.  Once you've become very comfortable with the leather honing wheel, you can touch up convex bevel salon shears by honing the bevel with a slight rolling action, from back to front.  Then hone the flat side of the blade as perfectly flat as possible on the leather wheel.
