High-carbon steel provides the desired sharpness for show, veterinary & farm use

Many similar quality large blades cost roughly $50 or more. Premier’s custom-made blades are offered for much less. - Blade Sharpening that works!
Our blades arrive to you factory sharp and ready to use. We also sharpen Premier and competitors’ blade sets. Our industrial lapping machine (not a grinding wheel!) removes very little steel—so a blade set can be resharpened more than 10 times. Superior service with fast turnaround. Most blades are sharpened (and mailed) within 24 hrs. Complete our "Resharpening Form" to get started.
