Beverly B2 Shear Knife Sharpening Help

[YOHO]

Hi all. Looking for some help.

Recently acquired a used Beverly shear. The knives on this particular one have been sharpened so many times they have lost their relief cuts and they have a few nicks. Had a few of these Beverlys so I know them well, but I don't have another one to reference. I'm hoping to get them back in order to cut cleanly.

Can anyone measure theirs or tell me the following:

1. The proper angle to sharpen the knives to?
2. If the upper and lower sharpening angle is the same? (Assuming so)
3. The distance of the relief angle on the lower blade?
4. The distance of the relief angle on the upper blade?
5. The angle of the relief?

Thank you!

Thats what i did.
Fantastic people to deal with as well.

Thanks for the reply.

I did reach out to Mitler Bros who now sells the Beverly Shears, replacement blades and does sharpening. Due to the amount of time my knives have been sharpened they won't fit in their jigs.

Therefore I'm hoping to clean these up best I can before eventually buying a new $160 set.

Thanks

I understand where you’re coming from, but if they’ve been sharpened so many times the manufacturers can’t resharpen them, it’s probably time for new blades. Especially with chips in them.

They're usable. The nicks have been sharpened out. Just hoping to find the proper angles to restore them.

Thanks

I ended up sharpening them myself and it went well. Thanks all.
