Will this ken onion edition do scissors? Like electricians scissors? THANKS

I've not tried it on electricians scissors but with the smallest (purple) belt, I am able to sharpen our dogs nail clippers which also have a curved cutting edge. for scissors with sharp V notches vs. a rounded striping notch, it may be better to use a triangular file on the notches and one of the standard grit belts for the primary cutting edges.

Yes, to your answer. It can do any type of scissor, heavy-duty and household, its all about the angle. All I can say is this is a amazing unit, and you can buy attachments for it to do even bigger stuff with ease. If you don't have a shop and need something at home that does a variety of sharpening, this would be what I would get. you can use it in the house, which works well for me. if I had a show I really wouldn't need this, but currently I don't so this comes in handy.

I did all my wife's sewing and craft scissors. And every knife we have too.

it will do regular scissors and scissors for hair cutting. I am fairly confident that it can sharpen electrician scissors as well. This tool comes with a significant amount of adjustment settings for angles so that it should make sharpening electrician scissors entirely possible.

I know you can sharpen scissors. I haven't tried yet but I have sharpened tin snips and axes. You can sharpen just about anything. All the guides come off or move to really work the tool.

There's a page in the manual devoted to sharpening scissors. Haven't done any yet, but the knives I've sharpened are sharp as advertised. I would expect scissors to turn out as well.

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.

Absolutely. Great pair of scissors. High quality and, for me, the grips are big enough for big hands without getting stuck. Big openings. Not one of those silly round holes. Also, they come with a blade cover! I didn't even realize it, but I really like it. It's hard plastic and since I have two young kids, I feel much more comfortable with them grabbing them. I use these at my desk and I really like 'em.

Yes. You will need to buy the WSKTS Diamond Belt Kit. It fits both the original Knife sharpener and the Ken Onion edition. It is 1/2 inch in width instead of 3/4 inch but will work just fine. I have it and sharpen our ceramic knives.

I would assume so. They are pretty thin, so any ordinary scissors should work! They are thin enough you could roll them up and put a rubber band around them. They are not very thick.

Yes, just don't try to sharpen scissors! I misread the directions the first time.... Now I have to send my kitchen shears back to the manufacture to be retooled. But, this works like an absolute dream on all my other knives!

Both of my knives are Kershaw Ken Onions. The serratated Ken Onion I own looks very similar to the Tanto. I would expect the Tanto to be a very good knife! Tom Brennan

I don't think it does scissors for 2 reasons: 1) The detailed instructions do not mention scissors, and 2) The sharpener puts a two-angle symmetrical edge on a blade (i.e., the identical ground angle on both sides of the blade). A scissors blade edge is not symmetrical. Each side of the scissors has only one ground angle . . . not two.

We are not really sure how to use it yet. We like the scissors though. It's a great deal!

I have not ever tried to chop a onion with it but i guess it would work. It cuts potatoes great.

I honestly don't know. I haven't really came across dull scissors. I know the Ceramic edge is to sharpen, and the Carbide is to set new ones. I don't know if will work on scissors though. I would recommend calling the manufacturer or try Smiths-JIFF-S-10-Second-Scissors-Sharpener in Amazon which is also made by Smith.

I used scissors to cut with no problem, I am certain xacto for any intricate cut will be fine too. Good luck!

Yes, the grid size is 3 1/4 by 3 3/4 of 1/4 squares. And no way it will cut thru greater than a 1 1/2 inch slice of onion; not the 2-3" whole onion in the picture. Still when doing multiple onions it is faster and more accurate for size than hand chopping.

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.

Knifeless Fuse works pretty well if you want something to go through security. I has scissors in it, but no knife blade.

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. I just try with my scissors. It does not fit. I also noticed that the scissors blade is not really sharp but has a flat edge.
