How do I sharpen dull scissors?
+6
I have LOTS of pairs of scissors that need sharpening. When I buy a sharpener ( even if says suitable for scissors ) when it arrives, the instruction says not suitable for scissors. Please can anyone tell me how to sharpen them, Thank you.

JoAnne Fabric sells a scissors sharpener made by Fiskars. You draw the blades against the sharpening stone about 20 times, each cutting side. Works very well.
I bought a fantastic scissors sharpener at Joanne’s Fabric. It works really well and was under $20
You can cut thru a few layers of aluminum foil or cut through some fine sand paper.
Diamond dust fingernail file works too
I would try the fine grit sandpaper. Just cut through t several times.
The aluminum foil hack never gets old.
There are unique sharpeners for scissors. Or you can use regular granite. It has the same effect, only more prolonged, which is why I sometimes use this method. Most of the time, for me, the more acceptable option is the one where I get help from https://www.silveredgesharpening.com/. This is an excellent option for the lazy like me. Such services are an indispensable tool in sharpening knives and other cutting tools. I believe it will be an effective method for you, too, which you will definitely use.
