Question 1

Can Andis clipper blades be sharpened?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at $25 + GST per blade, $20 each for 4 or more and $18 each for 10 or more. Andis UltraEdge steel blades, Master and T-Outliner barber blades, Pulse ZR and GTX heads are all hollow-ground at the factory edge angle. CeramicEdge blades: the steel comb is sharpened and the ceramic cutter inspected; send a photo if unsure.

Question 2

How many times can an Andis blade be sharpened?

Accepted Answer

30 to 50 times over its working life for an UltraEdge or Master blade, which is 5 to 10 years of full-time grooming or barbering. Each sharpen removes only a few hundredths of a millimetre of the cutter. An Andis blade retires for missing teeth, a cracked comb or a cutter finally ground too thin, not for being sharpened regularly.

Question 3

Do you sharpen Andis UltraEdge and CeramicEdge blades?

Accepted Answer

UltraEdge, yes, at $25 + GST per blade, volume-priced down to $18: it is the most common blade on the bench and takes a hollow grind beautifully. CeramicEdge blades pair a steel comb with a ceramic cutter; the comb is sharpened and the cutter inspected, because ceramic cannot be reground. Master and T-Outliner barber blades are the same standard price.

Question 4

How much does Andis blade sharpening cost?

Accepted Answer

Andis standard blades are volume-priced — $25 + GST each, then $20 each for 4 or more and $18 each for 10 or more. Specialty blades (5-in-1, horse, oversized) are quoted individually, with 15% off at 50+. There are no hidden fees and free Express Post return on orders over $200.

Question 5

Which Andis blade types do you sharpen?

Accepted Answer

We sharpen UltraEdge Steel, CeramicEdge, Pulse ZR Cordless, Master Barber, T-Outliner, GTX Blades, Outliner Blades, Pro-Grade Blades, plus most other Andis variants. Andis UltraEdge steel blades sharpen beautifully on whetstone equipment. The CeramicEdge ceramic-coated steel blades retain the coating during sharpening when handled correctly. Master and T-Outliner barber blades restored to original taper performance.

Question 6

How long does sharpening Andis blades take?

Accepted Answer

Total turnaround is 7 to 11 business days. Express Post return is free on orders over $200.

Question 7

Do you sharpen ceramic Andis blades?

Accepted Answer

No. Ceramic blades cannot be reliably re-sharpened and are designed to be replaced. We focus on steel Andis blades, which restore beautifully to factory sharpness. If you are unsure whether your blade is ceramic, send a photo and we will tell you before you post.

Question 8

Will sharpening damage my Andis blades?

Accepted Answer

No. We sharpen on professional equipment at the original factory edge angles. USA engineering deserves precision sharpening, not aggressive grinding. Most Andis blades can be sharpened many times across their life without measurable wear.

Question 9

How often should I sharpen my Andis blades?

Accepted Answer

Professional groomers and barbers using Andis blades typically sharpen every 4-8 weeks for high-rotation blades, and longer for occasional-use blades. Sharpen before pulling starts, not after. A blade running hot or pulling hair causes pet stress, hand fatigue, and slower work.
