This is How Our shears are Made
Good Scissors are made from good steel and good workmanship. Good workmanship is evident in the looks, operation and efficiency of the scissors. Good steel however, is in the recipe. Its made a certain way, with certain other metals and each recipe is for a different use. Steels generally good for scissors are melted & poured into casts, or softened & pounded into molds. This is done at a high temperature and they are rapidly cooled to prevent the molten metals from re-uniting in clumps. To release tension in the molecules and harden the structural integrity of the steel, relatively gentle heating and cooling is done in a controlled setting. This is called Tempering. With a good recipe and good tempering, you now have a good steel that will hold a good edge. When buying scissors at this level, you pay a bit more for this steel because its better. That’s fair.
Scissor Tips
Tip 1: We at Talyn Shears give each and every scissor or beauty tool a thorough check up to make sure they are working well. We oil scissors and nippers, make sure they cut properly and that they are well balanced. If you have a problem let us know immediately.
Tip 2: Try not to drop your shears as this can nick the baldes and put them off balance. Accidents happen so feel free to call us and we can have you test them while on the phone to us.
Tip 3: To keep scissors at their best put a drop of sewing machine oil on the inside of the blades where the screw is at least once a month depending on how often you use them. This will dislodge the tiny trapped hairs and make your shear run smoothly again.

Back at the shop you enjoy these shears and the quality makes your life that much easier. After a while a nice friendly sharpener, (not always nice nor friendly) stops by and offers his/her services and you hand them your good shears. Remember the hardness that came from good tempering and created a good edge? Well. the first thing the sharpener will do is grind the edges and create heat which destroys the tempering that took so long and was the reason that the shears worked so well and held an edge. The shear will no longer hold an edge, its now too soft. The edge wont cut as well, its now a bevel shear. Its no longer smooth, they ground off the ride-line. One or two ‘sharpenings’ like this and the hollow at the back of the blades is no longer in the middle. You now send it back to the manufacturer and demand they fix it. You expect that they should, it has a warranty. But ……… you never read the warranty. They warranted their steel and workmanship. They cannot be expected to put back the steel that was ground away, or fix the tempering that the grinder destroyed. So everyone is now unhappy.
Friend, its silly to let your hands suffer. Good scissors are designed to help make life easier. Now marry good sense with good business. You are letting someone destroy your custom made tool because he or she says so. Modern scissors are technically advanced and a reputable manufacturer will warrant their steel and their expertise for as long as you use them. Why not? They made them, they have the right equipment and expertise.
We now suggest that you take a break as this really needs concentration. It’s important stuff you know? 🙂
Notice the back of the blade is hollowed exactly in the middle of the blade. This prevents friction and besides ease of operation, does not bruise the hair which will cause split ends which frizz & flop.
If you grind the edge & take away steel, the hollow is no longer in the middle & you have to help it cut with wrist strength. (Not good for you:)
The “Ride Line” is marked running around the blade. This is where the one blade “rides” on the other. A good ride line gives smoothness and prevents the one blade cutting into the other.
