Sharpening and adjusting scissors

<< < (3/3)

Those scissor sharpeners are great! But with most preset sharpeners they just hit the very edge of the blade.  I sharpen all of mine by hand. If you can take them apart, thats the best way.  Just find the bevel angle and keep your stroke smooth and even. Make sure the inside edge is perfectly flat just like a draw knife. Be sure there is no burr on that side.  I use a Dimond stone and 2 different grits of Dimond steels then a smooth butchers steel.  Finish it off with a leather strop. When i'm done I can slice right through 1/4 inch holster leather like butter.  The will cut brain tan like its not even there.  The key is,  touching them up right when you notice them starting to dull.
