User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars No Need to Buy New Scissors
I was about to take my scissors to a professional sharpener or get new ones and ordered this product just to see if it worked. Wow. It does a terrific job. I have several pairs of scissors that have been misused over the years. I was able to quickly sharpen all of them and they now cut everything from paper to the finest fabrics. It seems too simple to work so well.

Before replacing your scissors, try this product, save some money, and keep one more item out of the land fill.

3 Stars Chuck
Easy to use. Works better on newer style sissors than it did on old (30 year +).

5 Stars Does what I need it to do
A scissors sharpener that sharpens scissors…compact, inexpensive, straightforward, does what I need it to do. I am an avid sewer and needed to sharpen several pairs of scissors on a pretty regular basis, from my cheap paper scissors to small thread nippers to hefty leather shears. I am pleased to say that after several swipes the paper scissors were as good as new, and after about a dozen swipes the leather shears were sharp enough to slice open a finger…as they should be, I suppose!

The larger size of this tool makes it much easier to hold in your hand, or brace against a table, making sharpening much easier, and greatly decreasing the likelihood that you’re going to poke or cut your other hand with the scissors you’re in the process of sharpening.

The only scissors the sharpener couldn’t do much with were two pairs of those Chinese/bonsai scissors, but my guess is because the blade angle is too steep for this sharpener. This sharpener says it’s designed for blades with a 30 degree angle, so it’s not going to do much on scissors with a radically different blade angle.

2 Stars limited use
The fact that this is set to only sharpen one angle is not clearly represented in it’s presentation for sale. If you decide to buy it make sure your scissors have the correct angle or else it’s useless as is the one I bought.

5 Stars Simple But Sharpens Perfectly
While I’ve owned many scissors over the years, I never thought to try sharpening them. What a difference this tool makes! It’s quick and easy to use. I plan on buying these as stocking stuffer gifts. It’s the perfect kind of gift for the people on my list who have everything. My only concern is that the plastic housing feels a little flimsy, but that may not be an issue as it won’t be getting heavy use.
