Fiskers makes a scissor sharpener. Not sure where you can get it. I think I got mine at an office store. It is a small little thing, I think it was fairly inexpensive too. Too bad I can't find mine.

There is a word of caution needed here.. IF -- and only --if you are left handed and have left handed scissors, DO NOT use that Fiskars sharpener on them.. I bought one and when I opened the package and started reading the instructions and everything, there it was ,,, "Do not use on left handed scissors". It says it will ruin them.. So-- I gave that sharpener to DIL..

Or you can be safe and go to Fiskers.com if (spelled correctly) Get them address and send your scissors to them. get them sharpen correctly. You spent a good amount of money on your scissors, let Fiskers take care of them for you. They will take them apart and really do a great job. It will take about a week to get them back. You will be very pleased. foreversewing |
