Benefits
Precision finish…
Most large clipper blades are sharpened on automated machines. Blades for camelids are double ground for a superior edge (if requested). Combs and cutters are sharpened on high-speed grinding wheels by our sharpening experts.How good is our service?
Good enough that we now sharpen over 50,000 blades, combs and cutters a year.Cost
Extra Charges
- To recondition and/or fix severe rust—$2.50 per set additional charge. (#868801)
- Applies to blade sets, combs or cutters that have been damaged by other's sharpening and thus requires extra time on our machine. Also applies to severely rusted blade sets, combs or cutters.
- To clean dirty blades or remove light rust—$1.00 additional charge on each piece. (#870100)
- Applies to blades, combs or cutters sent to us that show light rust or still have dirt, wool, hair or lanolin upon them.
- Double grinding blades/combs for llamas and alpacas—$1.00/per bottom blade of clipper sets and combs only. (#868802)
- An edge that works for sheep, cattle and horses often disappoints those clipping or shearing llamas and alpacas. It takes double the grinding and lapping time to get blades and combs "right" for this purpose. It will save you time and hassle in the end if we know your needs and take the time to get them right for you.
Tips
Most common problem?
Failure to lubricate blades and cutters often enough with a #10 white clipping oil.Why don’t users oil more often?
- They assume water (in wet wool) is a lubricant. It isn’t.
- They fear excess oil will stain white wool or hair. Prevent this by putting only 3 drops of a white oil on the blade or tips. Run the machine for 3 seconds. Wipe away any surplus oil. Resume work.
Why is rust a concern?
- Rusted blades and combs are harder to push through fiber.
- Rusted blades/combs/cutters won’t hold an “edge.” Blades are made of high carbon steel. It will rust in hours. The weak acid from your fingers on blade/comb steel will cause rusting within 24 hours. So it’s critical, after every use, to clean blades with hot water, dry and coat them with real oil (not spray-on coolants).
Spray coolants or lubricants?
Coolants lower blade/comb/head temperatures...but they are not lubricants. They do not reduce friction. So always use coolants in addition to, not in lieu of, high-quality oil.Precautions

Bill M from Tennessee
Good service very quickly done. Cutters very sharp.
A few of the combs weren’t very sharp after sharpening. About 3 just wouldn’t comb right and did not work in even one alpaca shearing.
Have used Premier for at least 10 years. Sharpening service is very good as is customer service.
Sue R from New Mexico
Premier 1 has been sharpening our blades for a few years now and they do an excellent job. And quick! Won’t go anywhere else!
William S from South Carolina
Wonderful service. Quick return with with sharp blades. Oiled and packed well.
Ira A from Michigan
I mailed more than 10 sets of blades to be sharpened and got a call the same day that they were scheduled to arrive letting me know that the job had been completed and they were ready to ship them back to me. The call was to inform me one of the blades was broke, would I like a replacement blade. Perfect! Great customer service and very efficient. A turn around time of 1 day is amazing in today’s service climate.
Tandy C from Nevada
We were very satisfied with our cutters. Premier 1 did their usual excellent job.
And this year our hand shears came back with a fantastic edge on them. It made clean up a breeze.
