There's more to scissor sharpening then just sharpening the edge. Why? Because you can get the edges razor sharp and the scissors still won't cut if they're not set up properly. But here's the thing, setting them up and making sure they cut properly takes time and time is money. That's why I offer this $5.00 sharpen, it's the absolute bare minimum of scissor sharpening (meaning: no cleaning, no taking them apart, no adjusting and setting them up to meet your specific cutting needs). What you get is both blades having edges that are up to twice as sharp as the factory edge. So if your scissors are just dull and not bent out of shape then this sharpen should get them cutting again. This sharpen is INTENDED for but not limited to cheap scissors and shears.
