The shears I am considering having sharpened or repaired are [model or purpose]. [Area] is known to be part of the original design, while [area] is uncertain. I can provide photos of the whole item and cutting edges. What can be assessed provisionally from photos, and what requires physical examination? Can you undertake the work while retaining the original cutting-edge profile, and what remains unconfirmed? If the profile would need to change, please explain first so I can decide. This is only an enquiry about the scope of work you can accept. Please obtain my separate consent before changing the cutting-edge profile.
