Premium made affordable
Here at Kent Blade Works, we prioritise craft over hype and fairness over inflated pricing. You spend thousands learning to groom, then find yourself priced out of basic tools. Scissors shouldn’t cost a week’s wages. I’m done with the groomers’ tax. Quality tools should be accessible to everyone. Big factories don’t usually deal with the little guy — I was ignored more than once. What changed wasn’t hype or volume, but care: detailed designs, proper specifications, and a clear idea — build a working scissor properly and sell it at a fair price.
The result…
A working collection of scissors made from Japanese 440C stainless steel — without the boutique price tag. Designed from two points of view: my partner, a left-handed groomer using scissors all day, and me, a professional sharpener who understands how tools should be built to last. Every detail is considered from both sides of the blade — how they feel in the hand, how they perform on the coat, and how they hold an edge over time. Featuring true semi-convex working edges, smooth ball-bearing pivot tension for a controlled glide (never floppy or crunchy), and carefully balanced weight for comfort during long grooming sessions. These are tools made for real work, not display cabinets.
Designed to bring an end to what I call the groomers’ tax—without compromise.
Kent Blade Works
When my partner began grooming, it was the tools that came last—and the prices came as a shock. What I discovered was less about craftsmanship and more about convention: identical foundations, familiar specifications, quietly rebranded and sold at a premium.
I chose a different approach. Thoughtfully specified, beautifully balanced, and made to be used every day—without the excess. The same level of steel, engineering, and finish, offered simply and fairly. No theatre. No inflation. Just well-made tools, priced as they should be.
