Know before you buy
This sharpener is specifically designed for the Burgon & Ball 5" and 3.5" hand shears, as well as the Economy 5" model.
While it is optimized for Burgon & Ball shears, the design is intended for general hand shear maintenance. However, for the best results and to avoid damaging blade edges, we recommend using it primarily on the models specified.
No, it is designed for simple, DIY maintenance. Its compact size makes it easy to handle, allowing you to restore a sharp edge to your blades without needing professional sharpening equipment.
You should use the sharpener whenever you notice the blades beginning to tear or crush stems rather than making a clean cut. Regular, light maintenance is better than waiting until the blades are significantly dull.
This is a dry sharpener and does not require the use of oil or water. Simply use it on clean, dry blades to maintain their effectiveness.
