Default Wiss M3 shears

With the yellow rubber handle.

Had 'em for 15-20 years. Mighta averaged 10 min. lite-duty use per year.

Tried to cut some plumbers strap-tape the other day, the 2 blades
separated, wouldn't cut.

Tried tightening the bolt: no hep'.

Blades are not sharp, but they're not incredably dull either.

Should I go after the blades with a whetstone or what?

Thx,

To check how sharp they actually are, try cutting a page of a newspaper.
They should give a nice clean cut. If not, it's time for a new set of
Wiss.
