1. Please visit my blog   SHARPMATTERS.BLOGSPOT.COM and come back.  This blog is for the sharing of education, knowledge, and learning of professional hair cutting scissor sharpeners.  And no, we don't sharpen scissors by cutting sand paper or aluminum foil..lol... a joke okay.  I do not necessarily agree with some of the blogs by some of my authors, nor do they always  agree with me.  Oh, I am Sharp Matters!   You do not need to be associated with Xzacta Shears to join this blog.  You do need to be an experienced scissor sharpener.  You may remain anonymous if you choose.  Here's what you do...  1. send me your email address you wish to use on the site to sales@xzactashears.com  I have to add you in as blogmaster.  2.  Click on link above  3. in upper right hand corner, click on "sign in".  4.

This is my new blog  http://s236098251.onlinehome.us/   It seems to be much more user friendly than the one above.

2.  The Xzacta Ultimate Sharpening System, as well as training, will be available 2009.    The first class is scheduled for July 13, 2009It will be worth waiting for and I am now devoted full time to expedite this.  I thank all of you for your emails and interest.  I assure you that it is everything I claim.  Please register on this site for newsletter so I can keep you posted.  Your information is highly confidential and I promise you will not be spammed plus your can opt out at anytime.

3.  I am going to do my best to allow many existing flat hone machines to be incorporated in my system.  This will make it more affordable for alot of people.  Your flat hone scissor sharpening machine should be about 6.5" X 6.5" X 8" tall.  THE BOTTOM MUST BE ABSOLUTELY PARALLELL WITH THE SCISSOR HONING PLATE in order for it to be accurate.

4.   http://www.b2bfreezone.com/kk-sharpening/  This might be a good site for those wishing to make sharpening supplies in very large quanities, basically importing.  Just though I'd throw it in.  I have no personal experience with this site.

8.  http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1024   some good information about 440C stainless steel.  Wanna know why many of the high quality shears and scissors are made from this alloy? check it out.

10.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AISI_steel_grades         good list of stainless steel alloys using SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and SNS (Simplified Numbering System) standards.  440C for example is an SAE standard.  S440 04 is the same in SNS.  I might add that there are other international standards and they can vary.  In addition, various scissor manufactures have proprietary stainless alloys or at least try to keep it somewhat secret..  It's all very fasinating...this business of shears and scissor sharpeners.

11.  http://www.nihonzashi.com/diy_sword_sharpening.aspx   This is a great site about swords and sword sharpening.  On this particular page is a grit comparison chart you will find beneficial.  We will begin "sword sharpening" sometime in 2009.  I've always been fasinated with swords and sword sharpening.  Register for newsletter for updates on this exciting added service. 

12.  PROFESSIONAL SALON SCISSOR SHARPENING  MACHINES      I'm putting this on my site because I want you to know about all professional hair cutting scissor sharpening machines that  available.  Then in 2009, when the Xzacta System is available, you will be educated to make the right decision.  USE CAUTION AND BE CAREFUL. This is a service in progress and in no particular order and it is not my intent to omit anyone.  Please email with any links not included.
