HOW TO HORL
Your perfect start
Key information for sharpening your HORL Scissors.
Sharpening with the HORL sharpener
The scissor blades normally only require sharpening with the HORL ceramic honing disc. However, if the HORL Scissors become significantly blunt, also use the diamond grinding disc beforehand.
Separate the scissor halves
Open the scissors wide with both hands until you feel a noticeable resistance and overcome this. The two scissor halves can then be separated.
Position the upper scissor half correctly
Place the scissor half on its contact surfaces, these ensure an optimal angle of 45°. Secure it with your fingers and thumb in the handle eye and on the inside of the blade.
Grind the upper half
Press on the scissor handle with your supporting hand for a stable standing position. Place the ceramic disk against the blade and grind for 30 seconds.
Reassemble the scissors
After grinding the upper half, put the scissor halves back together again.
Shear off any burr and wipe the blade
To remove burr, snip the scissors three or five times in the air. Carefully wipe off grinding particles with a cloth.
Grind the lower half of the scissors
Now repeat steps 1 to 5 to grind the blade of the lower half of the scissors, which is marked with HORL lettering.
