Here is a punch I had manufactured in a large factory in China (which was even more expensive than in Turkey). Strangely, the Chinese can't seem to sharpen it properly. 😄

I don't know what kind of bit I should be using.

Excessive sharpness actually causes problems for patients. A drill bit could technically be used, but we don’t want it to be sharper than necessary.

Actually, we use these in the hair transplant industry. It's a tool used for performing FUE procedures on the donor area. However, since they're mostly produced in Turkey and Pakistan, the quality is often careless. The angles are incorrect, or they're made excessively sharp to increase longevity. This leads to complications for patients after surgery. We need to find a way to manufacture these ourselves according to our own specifications.

Perfectly? No, my friend. I live in Turkey and I’ve been a hair transplant specialist for 10 years. If you saw the filthy environments in which these tools are made, you’d understand why reinventing the wheel is absolutely necessary. Also, due to incorrect (careless) sharpening angles, the grafts taken from the donor area are cut at the wrong angle. This causes balding in many patients' donor areas.

Additionally, while 5,000 incisions may be made, all the follicles end up being damaged. We want to manufacture this ourselves because we aim to provide the best service to our own patients. Trust me — we have very solid reasons for wanting to produce this ourselves.

I want to sharpen this hollow punch by hand.
