the proper way to sharpen scissors is to cut sandpaper


In the case with scissors it works to an extent. I suspect what it
really does is put micro serrations on the edge from the sand, and it
feels like it is sharper because it cuts (certain materials) better.


It's never worked for me ... AAMOF, the dullest pair of scissors in the shop
is always relegated to cutting sandpaper, where they immediately get duller
and worthless for anything else.
