does it sharpen scissors

It does, But takes a little more care and attention. It means you have to lean the scissors over on to the Flat edge to ensure that you are only sharpening one side. Takes a little more time but works...

It is difficult because of the design. i tried sharpening a pair of very small scissors and had difficulty. Works best on knives.

I would not recommend it.It sharpens both sides of a surfaceRepeted use would move your scissor blades further and further apart

I absolutely would not recommend it for that purpose. There are far easier ways to sharpen a metal knife; and scissors would be to thick for the sharpener.

I do believe you can do so, but must say I have not tried one myself. It will sharpen almost any edge you want, axe.s, lawn mower blades, scissors, gut-hook knives also. Hope this helps out..es

Yes, it has a serrated knife slot, although I have not used it yet. If you are buying it for scissor sharpening don't- it breaks fairly quickly.

This unit is awesome for knives, but I don't believe the slots in the unit would allow for scissor blades to pass through them. Nor would the sharpening or honing blades of the unit sharpen scissors at the correct angle.

I have not attempted to sharpen it. I use it for cutting and scraping dough.

Frank, I got that so long ago, at least a year ago, so I don't really remember except I'm pretty sure it did not work with my scissors. Luckily I found the original charger so I did not need the replacement. Pretty sure the one I got did NOT work. Linda

I would think it would. You may want to email the company and ask them . I use mine on all my scissors and knifes and so far it works very good. BUt I have just cheap scissors and knifes.

No, but it is a great tool. We do not have any small children about to worry with sharpness. . It is not sharpe like a knife would be but does cut potato and hard cheeses well.

It does, and the sheath definitely cleans the blades. I love thes scissors!

I've not used the scissor sharpener yet, but from the looks of the sharpener I don't think it would be easy to use with smaller sized scissors.

Hi Laurie,Yes it will work with scissors. You need to lean in over as most scissors only have an edge on one side. As always if you not 100% happy, or if it doesnt work for you let me know directly and I will help you out personally.Best regards,Paul EastonCEO Razor Red

This is for knives only. Scissors will only wreck this. Get yourself a good scissors sharpener or even a fine cutting file shaped like a wedge to get into the base of the scissor blades. They do make knife sharpeners with a special slot for scissors, then you'd have a dual purpose machine. I'm a firm believer in chefs choice. They've got some with the scissor slot on them

It will sharpen any edge. Just use it as instructed. Use a smooth stroke for 5-6 times in one direction, then smooth stoke in the other direction. I have used it to sharpen shovels, blades, scissors,etc... It's been years since I've had a paper cutter. But if I remember correctly the blade is flat on the bottom and looses it's sharpness on that and the flat surface facing the board. Swipe the flat surface facing the cutting metal and the bottom surface, too. You will notice the difference immediately.

When looking at only one of the blades of your scissors, only one side of that blade has an angled edge on it. This is made for blades with an angle on each side of the blade, like a normal knife. i would assume it would ruin the angle of the blade on the scissors.
