AccuSharp ShearSharp Scissors Sharpener, Diamond-Honed Tungsten Carbide Blade Sharpening Tool for Scissors, Garden Shears, Kitchen Shears, Hedge Clippers, Yellow

I purchased this gadget in order to try to sharpen my Henkel kitchen scissors. Kitchen scissors are indispensable to me and mine had become dull and useless. It took a few tries until I got the needed angle of the sharpener just right then I sharpened away! Lo and behold, my scissors just cut through cardboard! I am impressed. Note that I used a sharpening steel very lightly after I sharpened the scissors and it seems to have increased the sharpness. If you don't have a sharpening steel, don't sweat it. This gadget alone will sharpen your scissors.PS. While I was at it I took every other scissors in the house and sharpened them as well. Even a pair of extremely poor quality scissors I had in a drawer have never been so sharp!! lol

Effective and safe to use. Follow angle and direction instructions. Hold the sharpener steady, move the scissors only. I have a few pairs of shears with a spring in the handle that only open to about 45 degrees. For these pairs I couldn’t sharpen all the way to the base of the blades but they are still sharp and I am happy with the results.

My drawer full of dull sissors now has worked well for at least half. These wee inexpensive sissors and I’m impressed. Not difficult to use. Seems a little lightweight but it works for some sissors. I’ve nothing to compare it to, but I’m satisfied.

It was good

For some reason no matter how many scissor I try to sharpen maybe one out of three get better but not great at least the few will cut open a package of soup mix. There is no easy way to use this you just have to keep at it. I do not think it was worth all the effort to get them sharpen

It worked on one pair of dull scissors, so far

Junk!

So I see where others are saying that this isn't working on their scissors.If directions are read and followed, I promise, it's going to work unless you've dulled your scissors beyond all hope.My husband likes to cut everything with my scissors, even though I've told him what it can do to them. I've even had to hide my fabric scissors from him.I left a cheap pair in the kitchen for him to try cutting things. They got super dull, super fast.Today, I decided to try this shear sharpener on them and I wasn't expecting a whole lot.To my surprise, they are sharp again - but you have to read and follow directions.It's not like a knife sharpener, where you put the blade perfectly vertical.You have to angle the scissor blade so it lies flat against the sharpener- or it's not going to work and, will more than likely ruin your scissors, if done incorrectly.I'm happy with my purchase and am glad that I won't have to keep buying new scissors as often.
