Certified Sharpeners
Your shears are an investment — and how they’re serviced matters.
To protect your warranty and ensure peak performance, all sharpening and service must be performed by an official Shark Fin Certified Sharpener. Service performed by a non-certified sharpener will void your warranty.
Using a certified professional not only keeps your warranty intact, but also significantly extends the life, balance, and cutting performance of your shears.
Important Reminder
Each time your shears need sharpening, please verify that your sharpener is currently certified. You can check our official list or contact us directly to confirm their certification status.

However, a good rule of thumb is around every 12 months.
