UPDATE: The Pinkers Cut!
In addition to illustrating the value in having a person or community to call on when situations like this arise, I forgot to mention how this realm of sharpening is a never-ending learning expedition. If we wait until we're perfect to press play we'll never get started. Cheers!

Matt, you have never sounded better and appropriated better advice. Love to see the progress and appreciate you bringing us along. Thanks for all you share.
Thanks so much, Doug, as always. The real deal dude! No smoke and mirrors over here!
@8:54 Thanks so much, now I know my vintage pinking shear's "lap line" has a ways to go and room for improvement! I liked the business tips too.
You bet, Tess! Thanks for watching.
Your sound is awesome, sharp and clear, wow.
Thank you!
A day before viewing this video I was looking at a pinking scissors & trying to figure out how to sharpen it. I don't sharpen many scissors-maybe 100 max a year. For dressmakers shears & general scissors I have a Chinese copy of the Work Sharp Ken Onions machine which gives good results For hair / pet grooming shears I use a hand-driven jig which puts the scissors bevel onto a benchstone-I usually use 3-4 stones ending with 2 Arkansas stones, last being an Arkansas Transluscent
Obviously I don't have the power sharpening tool used in the video but I really didn't learn how to sharpen a pinking shear.
I would suggest that more extreme close up shots of the shear's edges & the ? line would be of educational benefit.
BTW The beginning of this video-a bit long was spot on. The business rationale of sharpening is something every edge sharpener will need to face esp when big bucks are going into the "hobby".
Thanks

Thanks for your input, Patrick!
I think you and I kind of started at the same time on our sharpening journey. I bought a brand new Nebraska blades CS - 201 viral speed clipper sharpener. I am now needing to sharpen scissors and I’ve taken the classes and I’m also certified I’m just on the edge of what machine will fit me best? I’m hearing from a few people that the twice as sharp Okami gold would be a good system. But yes, be very careful as that system takes a lot of material off quickly! Then I have others telling me to go freehand? I know I need to make a move the next Saturday because I’m already in 15 jobs and they are to sharpen shears along with the clippers already. I wish I had the skills to do the videos. Or should I say time. I don’t have the time to do UA-cam videos. I give you a lot of credit for doing everything you do. Thank you.
Great video. Didn't realize what part of the shears should be sharpened. I recently watched a 'care of your scissors' video which stated we should not 'air cut' because it dulls the blades. Maybe it is different for you since you are the sharpener. That is a fact I did not know. Thanks for the great information.
Thank you, Karen! Unless you are 'air cutting' with the intent to do harm to the scissors, I wouldn't worry much about damage imposed from that. Thanks for watching!
I struggled for a coiple of hours on a customer's Ginghers because they needed slight side pressure to cut. Long story short she said that was normal.
I literally used a screw driver to sharpen mine just kinda pretended like I was cutting the rod part of the screw driver and they cut everything like butter. All except for the very tip :/ love ur channel!
Interesting. Thanks!
thanks for your video; but i clicked on your video to learn how to sharpen my pinking shears as your titled suggested. Your video should have started at the 14:00 mark and delete all the other fluff. Sorry.
Sorry about that. Having got through the whole vid, did you learn anything about sharpening pinking shears?
if i had a machine like that readily available; my pinking shears would be sharpened. Alas, i have yet to find a solution to this dull dilemma. Thanks for your response. I hope you took no offence to my comment.
I like your video’s à lot, did you solve the problem of the light presure with cutting or did it stayed the same ?
Wouldn't using the "convexing clamp" Be better for the negative grind?, greetings from the Cayman Islands
This entire video is tremendous! Thank you!
Appreciate your kind words.
This was very helpful. I found some nice heavy duty pinking shears at a thrift shop that I’m trying to salvage and possibly use in my dressmaking. If I fail do you have any suggestions what to do with them. Do I just toss in the recycle bin?
You could mail them to me to work on. Matt@americanedgesharpening
If interested
@@capnmatt41 Awesome thanks 😊
I got to thinking...pinking shears could be used as a comb.
Maybe....give it a shot and let me know!
Hair by cusinart. But thank you for the video!
Love the tip in the beginning on how you're allocating the income. I don't think I'd want to do those on the Edge Pro either. As always another great learning video. Thanks Matt.
Thanks Dan! I'm trying to loop in the business tips and tricks in addition to the sharpening method. Appreciate you!
Really? You got your twice a sharp secondhand?
Yeah, every now and then one comes on the market.
