Southpaw Sharpening Etc Etc

Very polite, but broke our blades.
I’m not terribly impressed with the experience I had with Southpaw Sharpening. I had called Lindin to get my grooming salons shears and blades sharpened. He was on time, polite and clean, and did an excellent job on all of our shears, but not a single blade worked after he had sharpened them. He was called back to fix his work, and after the resharpening, the broken blades still didn’t function. We asked for a full refund for the money we spend on blades and he (very politely) refused us for personal reasons.
Now here’s where it gets weird. I ask him if he would try repairing the blades one more time, since he won’t refund us. We set up a time and date, and then a day before the date I get a text saying that he will refund me the money in forty five days’ time, and that he would mail it. Forty five days, to get a refund of forty five dollars. That strikes me as pretty ridiculous, so I ask if we can get the money back sooner, and he never replies.
I’m not impressed by the fact that we basically paid him 45 $ for him to break our blades and he won’t give us back our money in a prompt time. If this was any other service they would refund us promptly, apologize, and then we could all be on our way. This is just silly, and worth warning other groomers about.

Lyndon does an amazing job on our knives. He’s also great company, charges a reasonable price, cleans up after himself, and does his work quickly and efficiently. Added bonus — he (very patiently) taught me how to use a hone so as to keep the edge on my knives in-​between sharpening.

I brought Lyndon a pair of clippers I inherited, the old manual kind, and before he got his hands on them they cut like a butter knife wielded by a three year old having a temper tantrum on too much sugar. Now they cut like a wonderous dream. They’re shiny on the inside, but he didn’t mess with the patina that had developed on the outside. They still look like grandma’s clippers, and cut like they did when she was my age. Probably better, if we’re being honest with ourselves, and each other. I moved away shortly after, but you can bet your bottom dollar when they need a sharpening again, they’re going back to Southpaw, even if I have to walk them there.

Great service and excellent quality! We had some old paper cutters at our office that hadn’t been sharpened since we bought them decades ago. Lynden came and picked them up and brought them back a couple days later sharper than new. I will definitely use Southpaw again in the future.

Professional and versatile sharpening service. I took my beat up kitchen knives to get them sharpened and they were done quickly and very well. Plus, he’ll come to you if you need it.

Awesome service on our commercial equipment blades. Lyndon was super responsive and very reasonably priced. After striking out at the Knife Sharpist, and calling around town for a mobile service South Paw came through and got our blades back to us with a nice edge in under 2 hours. I highly recommend this service for anything you need professionally sharpened.
