I’m trying to learn how to sharpen scissors. I’m using a draw-filing technique. I’m not sure where I’m doing right or wrong. Anyone has any input? It’s a little better than it was but it’s definitely not as sharp as it could be. Gonna try attach some pics.

    You just need to hit the angled part of the scissor blades a couple of times with the file, following the already established angle. The file is probably too coarse to make a smooth edge though. So you have anything to finish up with? A honing steel or something?

      Good point! I’ll try hitting it some more with the finer file or some fine sandpaper on a block. I don’t have a stone just yet, or a honing steel.
