At the chair
When haircutting shears start pushing hair ahead of the blades, notice where it happens. Does the hair fold near the tips or slide along the whole blade? That detail helps Jeff understand what the pair is doing.
Barber shearsWhy sharpen?
Keep a good tool
in service.
See the notch in this mower blade? You might notice the torn grass first. Tell Jeff what changed in the cut and which tool left it.
During prep
A tomato flattens under your usual knife. A bunch of herbs needs a second pass. When a familiar knife consistently cuts differently, it’s worth asking about the edge.
Kitchen knives
In the yard and shop
The mower leaves the lawn torn and brown at the tips. Pruners crush a stem before they cut it. A chisel bruises the wood. Tell Jeff what changed before you spend money on a replacement.

Before replacing it
Compare the price of servicing the item with the price of the part you would actually replace. Include any visit charge. For a damaged or specialty tool, ask about its condition and model first.
