But even more important, with his extensive background as a master sharpener and a top stylist himself, Mr. Pintel takes a holistic approach towards sharpening. He begins by teaching you what a sharp edge is and the "physics" of sharpening an edge. Then you learn from Mr Pintel that a cutting instrument such as a pair of scissors is more than just a set of sharp edges, but a complex system of interacting parts. A professionally sharpened instrument must also be properly aligned and adjusted to work efficiently and smoothly.

It is Mr. Pintel's passion to teach his students how to both sharpen and adjust cutting tools to give them a quality feel and performance that only the top sharpening professionals can accomplish.

Finally, and most importantly, Mr. Pintel is personally committed to your success. Included with your training is six months telephone support and consultation. As you begin your career as a professional sharpener you can be confident that you have the support of the Sungold team behind you.
