This question also reemerges periodically on the Tormek forum. The answer remains the same. The practical answer is NO. The exception to this is sharpeners who are willing to dedicate several thousand dollars and time for specialized training and equipment.
Knife and scissors sharpeners may look jealously at the fees charged to sharpen salon shears and want a piece of the action as a sideline. Bad idea. A much more practical sideline is sharpening woodworking chisels. A surprising number of construction carpenters either cannot or do not choose to sharpen their own tools. Adding chisels to one's sharpening service requires very minimal, if any, capital investment and can be easily learned.
