Understanding the Rideline on Curved Shears and How to Sharpen it Using the Nanawa Archone

Sharpening the inside of curved shears for groomers, barbers and stylist shears can be hard. This is a new product I found for creating ridelines on these curved shears. It is called the Naniwa Archone.

You are correct, the reason why there is no ride line in the back has to do with how the shear is hollow ground. The way the hollow grinding wheel is positioned and the path it travels ensures there is only a ride line on the top. The mysterious twist people are talking about is to the best of my knowledge exclusive to Solingen Shears. We call this “Drehdrücken“. The literal translations would be turn-pressing. It’s a specific process prior to hollow grinding in Solingen in which the blade is turned to create a very beneficial blade tension. German hollow grinding machines then have to follow this twist to keep the unique tension and feel that you get from classic Solingen Shears. All Asian shears including high end Japanese shears usually use a combination of precision hollow grinding , hammering and other traditional techniques to achieve a balanced blade and end product but do not incorporate “twisting” the blade by applying precision blunt force through a big industrial machine the way they do in Solingen, Germany.

You are so welcome!

Hmmm. To buy the new hones ( I have curved hone) or certify...decisions decisions. Great explanations of the curved blade. I see then all the time as high end groomers Re my clients. Way too often goofed up by sharpeners that don't know ... Thanks Bonnie for helping the profession, and the clients too.

[@BonikaShears]

I would get the hone. Better hurry, they are almost sold out and that of course could make your decision. Mystie is ordering more from Japan.

[@Konardrjosh]

I've got to say, your videos are awesome! I recently got into sharpening for groomers and stylists after years doing knives as a side gig and handling these curved shears has been quite the learning experience! I was about to design and 3d print my own curved blocks and use some gritted cloths but this is way better haha. Thanks again!

[@BonikaShears]

Wow, thank you!

[@wardsone1]

When i visited Naniwa in Osaka they gifted one of the gold stones to me thst was very gracious of them.

[@BonikaShears]

Wow. That was nice. Do you use it much?

[@BonikaShears]

Sweet!

[@Niafifia]

Thank you! I just ordered one from you.

[@ML-vc8zs]

Love your videos...I've learned a ton. I also despise curved shears. Those stones will make sharpening them a bit more tolerable. :-)

[@BonikaShears]

They sure do.

[@garryordener5731]

Nice video, Bonnie!

[@BonikaShears]

Thanks! 😊

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

Very nice 👍

[@BonikaShears]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SueEnoughIsEnough]

I need an arc hone to sharpen a bird’s beak paring knife. I am going to order it today if I can find one.

[@BonikaShears]

It's on our website bonika.com

[@proegde161]

Everytime i have some long curved shears i look at this video first

[@BonikaShears]

Glad it helps.

[@vanlanensharpeningservice4422]

How many wraps of tape do you put around the stones?

[@BonikaShears]

I wrap it once on one side and twice on the others. However, I've quit wrapping the stones. Once you get the hang of following the rideline flat, the tape really gets in the way.

[@proegde161]

So all i need is 3 of this stones?I dont need to sharpening curved scissors only use this 3 stones for ride line?No sharpening on machine?

[@BonikaShears]

These stones are for the rideline. You need a machine to do the outside edge.

[@bucko1948]

Why is tape used for rideline guidance on the curved blades and not on the flat blades?

[@BonikaShears]

The flat blades I’m able to have the whole blade on the water stone with the pressure on the pivot area. The curved shear I must estimate the flat rideline. If you can do this without the tape, that is good. The tape is a helper.

[@zenrazor659]

You should try it on a straight razor with slight smile edge Some are grinded bad !

[@BonikaShears]

Hmmm. Straight razors are not my expertise. I would probably use a flat stone like our Kitayama stone.
