Clippers

Any tips on honing sheers? I have 4 pair and after a battling through a harvest last night, they are dull as hell! Or should I just toss them and buy new clippers? Seems like a waste…

Don’t know how much… I have it drying in the MyHerbDryer and I completely filled the bottom. Maybe an ounce. But this one is following in its footsteps! Same strain. Melon OG indica

Dipping them in alcohol and scrubbing with a cloth will help “de-gunk” them.

Thanks I do that all the time… I even give them a soak in peroxide once in awhile. I had them for a year and harvested over 12 plants with those sheets. I guess it’s time to toss. I was just wondering if there was a way to grind them to sharpen the blades or something. Seems like a waste to toss them. Not cheap! But thanks anyway

Could certainly try sharpening. I googled “shear sharpener” and many results came up!

@buzzy6 get yourself a sharpener. I have an Okami that has the added benefit of being able to sharpen knives.

@buzzy6 Honestly with how cheap scissors are I tend to get new ones and recycle the old worn ones after I try to sharpen them. Sharpeners can only do so much, and the angle of the sharpener rarely seems to be the same as the angle of the scissors.
