Tormek is fully focused on sharpening. All the product development, engineering work and production are made in Sweden. The company is located in Lindesberg, a small town in the heart of Bergslagen with a history in mining. The production is carried out in close cooperation with selected suppliers, all specialized and the best in their fields. This ensures the highest quality and a continuous access to the best and most modern manufacturing technology.
However, we know that some use our Scissors Jig SVX-150. If you do want to try it, remember that it is important that your scissors have a straight edge on the top, so that they can be mounted correctly in the jig. It is also important to use the Japanese Waterstone (SJ-250/SJ-200), since hair scissors don't need much steel removal. We would recommend to try on some less expensive scissors to begin with.
