try cutting several sheets (or pieces ) of very fine sand paper to see if you might get results. This really depends on the material of the blade.
If it's the long blade lever handle type they are self sharpening. You need to adjust the blade tension and gap with the bolt the arm is attached to the base. Sandpaper will just create burrs along the blade and not sharpen it.
If the above suggestions don't work, take it to a place that sharpens tools and scissors. I was given a very old one by a school, and that 's what I did.
