Hira-to®

When you want to provide the absolute best edge possible on high end convex shears, look no further than the Wolff Industries Hira-To® Scissors Sharpening System. The Hira-To® is designed to sharpen and convex beauty, barber, and grooming scissors. It is easier, faster, and more precise when sharpening convex scissors than traditional systems.

The Hira-To® is a single head flat hone designed to recreate the factory look and edge on high end convex or semi-convex beauty, barber, and grooming scissors. It was developed with a focus on the fixture and arm assembly. The Hira-To® fixture is ergonomically contoured to fit the natural curvature of the sharpener’s hand, offering sharpeners of many skill levels the opportunity to match the free-hand style used by Japanese bladesmiths. Both right and left hand shears can be sharpened at any angle ranging from 25° to 65°.

This sharpener is the most advanced single head flat hone on the market with multi-direction switching, 0-2500 RPM variable speed, and electronic shaft break. It is compatible with pressure sensitive adhesive discs as well as hook and loop discs.

The Hira-To® Professional Sharpening System comes with either hook and loop discs or pressure sensitive adhesive pads.
