![]() I also run just the edge of the blade across the edge of the stone. First, moving the blade straight up and down square to the stone. Keep adding water to your stone and blade as you go, you want it to stay wet (not underwater, but not just damp) the whole time. You’ll start seeing dirty/gritty water appear on the stone, and that’s good! That grit is what helps clean up your blade. Once the blade is on the stone with water, you just start rubbing it along the stone with firm and even pressure. You are going to sharpen to the two flat sides of the toothed blade the sides that sit facing one another when the clippers are put together. You should be able to tell the grit level of your stone by feeling it - there’s a big difference between 10 grit. For the blades that had only done a trace clip on one horse since they were last sharpened, I only used the fine grit side (which is why my animations are a bit different from the pictures here). Next, plop some water on your sharpening stone and get ready to get dirty! I started on the coarse (1000 grit) side of the stone, and moved to the fine side (4000 grit I think, but maybe 6000) to polish/finish it off. But you can see dirt and rust on the interior of the blades (this is my wide T84 blade, but it comes apart just the same as the other blades). ![]() I tried to take some pictures of how dirty/rusty my blades were, but it was not the easiest picture ever.

Use your rag towel to provide a surface to keep all your pieces together, and to stabilize your whetstone when you start sharpening. Don’t try to use a butter knife, it won’t work. You simply need to loosen the two screws on the bottom of the clipper blades with your screwdriver. Then you have the slightly fiddly task of taking your clipper blades apart. I did not suggest an adult beverage because we are working with sharp objects, but you’re an adult, you can make your own choicesįirst, soak or otherwise prepare your whetstone. a towel you don’t mind staining forever.So that makes me a bona fide internet expert (clip job shown above). Plus, I clipped my friend’s mare after doing a test-sharpen on my blades and found it pretty easy, even on her tight, thick hair. My father in law also pointed out that he’s never sharpened something and made it worse.
