Members Gezzer Posted September 1, 2022 Members Report Posted September 1, 2022 I must admit to not having read every post so if I am doubling up please forgive me . I would put them on a grinder with a fine stone , go slow and be sure to rest often for heat to leave. Try to match original angle but an even angle from heel to tip will do . The large trick to scissors is to put " set " in them by bending both legs slightly . A large percentage of dull scissors are not dull , they need re-setting . Quote
Members jamesking Posted June 10 Members Report Posted June 10 I sharpened my old scissors many times, but after a few uses, they would become dull again. So, I got a new pair of scissors from JapanScissor. I recommend that you try purchasing new scissors too. Quote

Contributing Member Ferg Posted June 10 Contributing Member Report Posted June 10 You are putting wrong angle on blades. Sharpened area should be no more than one or two mm back from cutting edge. You have filed the edge at least 60 degree angle when they should be right at 30 degrees. Fine grade file that is new and finish with about 600 grit stone. Quote

Your IP address resolves to Staré Město, Moravskoslezský, 738 01, Czech Republic. Most often, IP addresses from India, Pakistan, etc. are spammers. They will join Leatherworker.net, pretend to be good members, often post a reply to a thread that hasn't seen any activity for several years. This thread had none for 2 years. Their double post tends to raise flags as well. So I was poking a hornets nest with a stick! Edited June 10 by Northmount added content Quote
