Scissorman craftsmanship
Our story

Three generations of cutting-edge craft

Founded over 35 years ago by Stephen Gwalter, The Original Scissorman set out to give salons a professional, on-site sharpening and servicing solution — no risk of posting valuable tools away.

Today the company is run by Luke Langford, who learned the trade side-by-side with the founder for over a decade. That same hands-on expertise now goes into every blade we sell and every edge we restore.

Luke didn’t disappoint. Travelled to me and got the job done well, quickly and on time like he promised. Very few shops are able to do left handed scissors and those that do rarely get it done with the right quality. Highly recommend Luke.

Had 4 pairs of scissors sharpened and balanced by Luke. All 4 pairs came back immaculate, cutting as if brand new 👌

My scissors are saved!! After having them sharpened elsewhere and totally ruined, the Original Scissorman fixed them and they feel brand new! Honest and professional and even gave follow-up advice. Never will I ever go elsewhere again! Thank you so much!
