can this stone be used to sharpen haircutting scissors?

it could be used to touch up small knives or sissors for which the blades can be separated. There are two sides with a fine and very fine grit, so you will not be able to take out gouges or knicks but can easily renew an existing edge.

I think it could work well for that purpose. It's perfect for my 4" knife blades. I have to used a larger 8" Norton India Stone for my 6" or greater blades. The diamond sharpener will resharpen a blade in decent shape. If a blade has lost its' edge completely then a courser stone is needed.

I have never attempted to sharpen scissors and I really am not familiar with the finer points of the process. This stone is a very simple tool for sharpening simple non-serrated knives. If scissors can be sharpened by simply honing one or both sides of the blades, the stone should work fine. If you need to do something more intricate, it won't do.

Yes, absolutely it can be sharpened. The blade comes sharp but not razor sharp. If you wish it to be razor sharp ,I suggest you use a wet stone. They have a ton of them right here on Amazon.

No. Not without industrial quality sharpening tools that would damage the overall quality of the piece.

I would buy a lanky sharpening kit that has multiple stones and it will give you a hair popping edge.

No, only the device and a carbide cutter. Not sure what you would use a stone on.

You probably could but it wouldn't be my first choice. Something like the DMT diamond hone would probably work better. Works very well for knives though.

I think you're better off getting their scissor sharpeners. If it does for shears what it does for knives you will have great results.

It is possible, but it wont be easy because of the length of the blade. I have routinely sharpened 12" scimitars on 12" stones as well as a machete (20" maybe?). If you really want to get the sword razor sharp after working it on a stone, finish it by working it over on a glass bottle. I did this with the machete and was able to shave with it when I was finished.

I would not recommend it for that. I'm a sushi chef and I sharpen 8 to 12 inch knives on it. That is about the maximum size knife that you can comfortably sharpen on this stone.

Either right-hand or left hand scissors can be sharpened. I have no idea on garden tools, but doubt it due to the size of the slots for sharpening.

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.

No. Its pumice stone so will definitely scratch; but you could use a razor instead.

Sure, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work for stones. You just have to use the correct medium for rocks.

Yes, but you will wear the stone out considerably quicker. Buy extra stones or go with a diamond stone sharpener. No matter what bit you're sharpening, use a light pressure against stone.

Yes, if it already has an edge on it and you are good at sharpening with a stone.

You can use it for anything you want ... but, the faceshield is just plastic. I don't know anything about cutting stone, but can imagine a lot of chips flying around, and a lot of dust. Sorry, but this didn't help you very much. I use it for wood lathe work, and when i do a thorough cleaning of my workshop, which involves blowing a lot of sawdust around,

I don't know for certain, but I doubt that it would work on any kind of scissors or shears.This sharpener is perfect for knives, but shears/scissors have a different shape entirely.
