scissors sharpener

My wife has a few sets of Fiskars scissors so i got her one of these as some needed sharpening, very simple to use and noticed a big difference in cutting just after a few draws of the blades in the device. I also sharpened all the other scissors in our house and all are very good now, even sets i should have thrown away got a new lease of life by sharpening on this device. Excellent device and does its job very well.

Easy to use, but can't cope with really big scissors . Ideal for most household scissors and will give back a sharp cutting edge to even badly blunted blades with a minimum of effort. Recommended.

Small plastic case with two angled steels. Standard arrangement. It does what it says on the tine (plastic). I found another type in Lidle later which had three types of sharpening "things" which was even more effective

Fantastic tool. Very easy to use and very effective. ALL my scissors are sharp again.

I have a 20 year old pair of Fiskars dress making scissors which have been abused for cutting paper etc for at least a decade. So, blunt as hell. I ummed and ahhed between just buying a new pair, or getting a sharpener. The sharpener was £5 cheaper so I went for it. It works really well, my old scissors are now as sharp as ever. Well worth having one of these, even though it doesn't feel like a lot for the money.

Product was delivered reasonably fast and is well made, it seems to work ok to keep scissors sharp but doesn’t work very well on blunt ones, tried unsuccessfully to sharpen my old blunt scissors but regardless of how many times i tried this product would not produce an edge sharp enough to cleanly cut fabric and had to have my scissors professionally sharpened, it’s possibly ok if you only use on paper scissors or to use to keep the sharp edge if scissors are already sharp and the unit is easier to use than the smaller units do to the housing being larger

I have had a pair of Fiskars kitchen scissors for twenty odd years and have used them to cut just about everything, and never had to sharpen them. I bought the Fiskars sharpener because I know they are a good company and wanted to sharpen all my other scissors, and I was not let down. This is an excellent product, very easy to use would recommend to anyone wanting to put new life into blunt scissors. Well worth the little cost. All the buyers leaving reviews saying it doesnt work are clearly not using it properly. All you have to do is open your scissors, place the blades into the sharpener, then close the scissors while withdrawing them from the sharpener using a little force so the blades touch the sharpening stone/edge. You may have to repeat several times, but like with me it will result in razor sharp scissors, sharp enough to cut silk, chiffon and any other fabrics. I have sharpened 17 pairs of scissors that are used for all kinds of projects, (yes, I think I have a scissor fetish!) with brilliant results. Excellent value for the money

Sharpens all straight blade scizzors, giving blunt scizzors a new lease on life!
