Disclaimer – Salmon Slicer Regrind Service

The regrind service offered by MRMK provides sharpening and rework on MRMK procured product. While the regrind process improves blade sharpness, it does not restore the blade to the condition or performance level of a new MRMK product. Results may vary depending on the blades prior use, wear, and overall condition.

All blades submitted for re-grinding are assessed using the following criteria:

• Minimum height of the lowest (most worn) tooth must be ≥ 19mm
• Maximum difference in tooth height (highest to lowest) must be ≤ 1mm
• Only blades that meet both conditions will be approved for re-grinding. Blades falling outside these tolerances will be recommended for full replacement.
