Why so many negative comments? I had two dull scissors I was about to throw out and buy replacements at the dollar store. But I saw this video on youtube and decided to give it a try. OMG, my scissors are so sharp now........ after using the screwdriver method on them. Thanks for a wonderful and informative video!

[@rachelhunter3600]

#6 was the easiest one for me to use, as I'm disabled & bed-bound most of the time. The nearest item I could reach was a mini-screwdriver I keep nearby, for fixing my glasses & other such uses. I always keep a small pair of scissors handy on my bedside table; & however strange it sounds, I sometimes like to use them for cutting up certain kinds of food (eg: smoked salmon, gammon-steak, burgers, vegetables/fruit, etcetera). Most times they won't even cut through a paper-towel; but after trying this out, it was like slicing a hot knife through butter. So; thanks for sharing this (it makes meal-times so much easier)! LOL. 💕✨😊✨💕

Forcing scissor blades to cut into solid surfaces like a battery,paperclip etc is only going to make cutting blades worse,correct way to do it to hone the bevilled edge so that the blade peak (sharp edge) has a point on it.

[@ohh_manda]

My 3rd video on sharpening scissors. The first one used tools I didn't have, the second one just talked without showing..... Then came this video. Um battery and paper clip? Yeah right I thought.

We basically weren't even allowed to side eye my mom's fabric/sewing scissors EVER! Even when I took a sewing class in summer school, she bought me my own cheap pair. We live in Minnesota, so starting in Oct/Nov it's dark out by 6pm.... It was winter time and my brother's and I went out to play after dinner and she was hollering at us about 3 mins later to get back in the house and we were whining that we'd Juuuuuust gotten out there.... Got in the house to blood EVERYWHERE..... SHE DROPPED those damn scissors and they hit her wrist. Mm either way.... I don't even wanna think about it ... We had to run and get the neighbor to take her to the ER. Many many stitches later. We were stuck doing the dishes for at least a month and I still tease her to this day that if she woulda let us use em .. they would've just bounced🤣🤣

[@grzegorzkaczmarek8513]

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

Clearly many of you dont know how scissors work or their shape and how they cut. They are not knives. They operate differently. I once had a pair of garden sheers sharpened and they went dull much faster than when it was pre edged from the factory in its correct form. Also, what use to sharpen depends on the steel used. Hair cutting scissors are entirely different and require professional sharpening due to the angle and steel used where fine cuts hair are required

The screwdriver works hella good the rest of the ones where you cut aluminum foil works like 1 time then they are dull again. But the screwdriver way works soooooo good.

[@annalockwood9415]

i can not see how taking the blade straight on to it can sharpen it. Knives and scissors always have to be laid down at an angle against a sharpening stone and scrape the blade against the stone and swipe down. My dad taught me this when i was little. i don't see how pressing the blade straight down can sharpen it. I'll give this a try but i won't do this on my good stuff.

[@pheresy1367]

My thoughts exactly. I can see how you can take a dull pair of scissors and apply one of these techniques to restore usefulness in the short term. But in reality you have only created a new angle (90 degrees) on just the very edge of the blade. This new edge won't ever be as sharp or effective as the original, and it will dull quicker than before. To sharpen it again, you either have to grind the blade down to restore the original angle to the flat inner surface of the scissor, OR you will have to apply your hack each time for a longer period than the previous as the new 90 degree surface becomes broader and more difficult to make it sharp against the flat inner surface. But I still don't understand how cutting the steel wool or foil or sandpaper works to restore sharpness. Please explain that to me. Thank you.

[@lracrellim2711]

Anna Lockwood scissors have a different angle. you do put them flat. there are a lot of good video on it. It may surprise you!

[@fendertremolo9793]

Anna Lockwood who cares what your dad taught you?

[@shiprathakur2506]

Anna Lockwood scissors need not to be sharpened at angle..sharpening just requires the rusted iron to be removed, so the fresher iron could be exposed

[@niscent_]

damn this is a fuckfeast of ignorance... understandable though, since cutlery is a complex topic. first let's start by explaining what is sharpness. every edge is round at a microscopic scale, what make an edge sharp is how thin the curve is. a thinner curve mean a smaller surface on which you apply force, which result in a pressure so great that the smallest amount of stiffness in the material is enough of a counter force to make the cut happen. through use, your edge get microscopically flattened, which widen the curve until you always have to put great force to get the required pressure to cut. sharpening is about removing material from both side of the blade to make the edge thinner. but there's still two restrictions that you have to work with: -you need to use a material that's abrasive and able to "eat" into the steel of the blade. usually a ceramic stone. -the edge can't be thinner than the defaults in its smoothness, and as such you need an abrasive that can polish your blade enough. now, if you just "remove the rusted iron" like shown in the video, you'll get a very wide flat edge which will only cut things because they're stuck between two slabs of steel.

[@fixitrob2go]

Okay about your video on scissor sharpening...Why the scissors you used this technique on cuts better is because what you actually did was to damage them to an extent that each scissor blade creates a type of tearing against the opposing scissor blade resulting in the cutting of the paper upon testing. Don't do this technique on high end salon scissors!!! If you looked at the blades under a micro-scope you'd see what I mean.

There is nothing he could do to damage the scissors in the video. They're junk anyway.
