The REAL way to sharpen scissors is to use one of those small diamond
sharpening stones you can mount in a dremel tool. "Looks" like a chain saw
sharpening stone. Run that across the bevel edge of the scissors and they
cut like new. I start on the heel of the bevel and when I make contact you
can see where you are sharpening. Then I angle it down till I hit the
cutting edge. This establishes the angle and I proceed along the entire
cutting edge. SHARP!

I cut lots of Sandpaper with scissors and It does in fact dull the
blade.

PS I use the same bit in my dremel to sharpen my 3TPI band saw blade. About
12 minutes to do a 113" blade. I get two sharpenings out of each blade.

This IS the way to sharpen scissors - cut sandpaper few times. So you are
sharpening yours
every time...
