I’ve been binge watching scissor sharpening videos. I can’t stop 🙃 I just received my whetstone and diamond plate in the mail. 😁😁😁weeeeeeeee this is gonna be so much fun

[@robertbrown8425]

One of the best practical educational videos ever. I always question why and how this and that, and have the answer provided at a pace I can follow and in ONE lesson implement - hopefully proficiently. Now I understand how slow is fast, and fast is slow. 2 life lessons in ONE. Many thanks for this great video presentation; and lesson.

[@szpon8]

Speed 1.25x is recommended ;-)

[@itsaulgoodnamluna2027]

1.50

[@plauditecives]

Why? Are you in a rush?

[@turbanwearersblow]

That actually makes it sound normal

[@InnuendoXP]

@@plauditecives they're not wanting to sharpen scissors to cut slower

[@ferndog1461]

@@turbanwearersblow YT normal. I usually slow down listening at 0.75 x playback. Lol

[@samkessler3015]

When you do a search, this is what you hope for; straightforward information.

[@soldier1stclass987]

Yep. Google always distorting information. I search and sometimes it just pop out the same

[@krissykatportal]

Yes. Exactly 🤓😁

[@lolchoff]

Excellent video! I watched several trying to understand the sharpening technique. I didn't really "get it" until watching this one. Thanks so much!

[@RavenVargas27]

Same here his is the best one I've seen

[@christinesawicka1437]

Thanks big help. I was not sure how to use a stone, now just got to have a go. These videos do come useful 👍😊

[@sylversyrfer6894]

VERY well explained! Very clear, very precise! Excellent!!

[@cyndi6hdz]

Thank you! Someone used my little siver embroidery scissors for a project, ruining the sharpness. I looked at other videos but it was this one that helped! YEAH!!

[@StitcheryWitchery]

Glad I’m not the only one avoiding new scissors and just resharpening my embroidery scissors

[@anniepalasthy5137]

Really enjoyed and understood the concept of sharpening. It was grezt to see the close up of the bevel edge on the stone. Best presentation yet. Pluss, you spoke at nice sllow pace, easy to understand. Thank you

[@juliettelynne5861]

Excellent video with clear explanations. Well done! And I like the little caricature in the corner 😄

[@lostwithoutyou4ever101]

The BEST practical educational video.VERY well explained 👍

[@RavenVargas27]

Thank you so much this is very helpful some vids I saw did it on all kinds of angles but yours is straight forward easy to understand and makes sense

[@ranne9307]

This video was downright delightful

[@MBM1260]

Thank you. 3-5 minutes at a minium! That's what I needed to know.

[@nextday6454]

The best sharpening video. Thanks mate!

[@RodinThink28]

Excellent narrative and understanding of the issue

[@tiborfurchtgott]

[@simonbabwa1313]

[@sunilsenevirathne4245]

[@ralbino]

Omg I really found this entertaining. You explain scissor sharpening so eloquently!

[@henniegreenwald262]

Thank you. Helping a lot. Appreciated

[@hpeterson10579]

If you can get past the talking it actually one of the better videos out there. He talks about angles and gives a hack on how to determine if your on the correct angle

[@redveiner]

Very good teaching vid ! Thanks

[@Mike-vn7ys]

Hi Marc, I highly recommend you purchase a pair of Wiss Brand W7T scissors at HD store. They are extremely sharp and work great for cutting everything from light paper to sheet metal. Once you use them you will never go back. (I am not a salesman). These cut paracord like butter. You won’t have to resharpen these. They cost about $14.00 and worth it.

[@mikecausarano3632]

[@Paracordguild]

I can see these working well indeed!

[@greg6162]

But, if you have scissors already it’s nice to know how to sharpen them. Give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he can eat for a lifetime... or something like that.

[@sinderellaattheball9998]

Gr8! Thanks for posting this! 👍

[@christinetaberham7565]

Very imformative thank you

[@hectorlucia7438]

Me encanta el afilador gracias por compartir sus conocimientos

[@mazlanbinzainudin2811]

Tqvm,good info

[@johnruckman2320]

I have a hard time holding the correct angle. What would be some useful tips to keep the angle right? A lot of cheap kids scissors are not tight enough to cut correctly. What kind of things can you do to get the blades closer together without binding it up? If you overdo it how can you correct it?

[@TheSongfulSoul]

thank you

[@Boomster1961]

Good video Marc! Thanks!! :)

[@heni63]

Good video man!

[@coopart1]

Very good info. Thanks! A guide for sharpening on my videos. No motor just guide and abrasive.

[@miriamhudson3826]

I love your video

[@ישראלסימון-ע2צ]

היית תכליתי וטוב! תודה רבה לך!

[@williamleightii4546]

Grind til you feel a burr forming. Opening and closing scissors knocks burr off

[@Fragkogiannakis_Vasilis]

ΚΑΤΑΠΛΗΚΤΙΚΟΣ ! ! !

[@plauditecives]

I watched many scissor sharpening videos and, frankly, couldn't follow them. People who work with tools all the time take many things for granted, which always leaves gaps of understanding the videos. This video assumes you know nothing about the process, which is perfect.

[@XxXTheslayerXxX]

Tried several times, different angles, different stones. Did not work for me. Maybe my scissors were dead… Has anyone succeed ? Note: I’ve been sharpening knifes with stones for a few years. Never had a problem, always able to perform paper cut test….

[@robertoc.9099]

Es la forma de afilar un tijera fácil y rápido, dejemos la suela para las navajas.

[@benjaminacargen7799]

Why make your demo veeeeery slow??????

[@tprsworld4941]

U is a great

[@Haideraltaie]

❤️🙏🇮🇶👍👍👍👍🙂

[@Moostery]

I just use a pocket knife whenever I cut my paracord.

[@jaishemajames4554]

Dude too much talk just get into the sharpening

[@plur_ndbn]

Hello. AFAIK sharpening scissors on stones is strongly not recommended. Use only leather belt and sharpening paste. Stones works, but it damage scissors.

[@plur_ndbn]

Also there are some simple ways to sharpen, cut small grid sandpaper or cut needle.

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! I have a strop. But for some blades I prefer stones. If you are not careful, the edge becomes more convex with strop use.

[@Paracordguild]

Sandpaper is basically the same thing as a stone, just less thick :). Have not tried the needle. Mark
