Will this work on other brand of scissors? I don't seem to own any Fiskars scissors. Thanks, Tom

We have several different brands of scissors and for us it works great. We had one that got lost in a move, and luckily we found one on Amazon.

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

You can use goof off to clean the scissors. In future, fiskars make a scissor that is coated with teflon. Those will work better, but will likely need to be cleaned anyway.

It works on others as well. I tried it on 3 other brands and all worked well. Regards Brian.

I watched a UTube video and they said it works on any brand cutter blade. The demo used an Olfa cutter. 45mm and 60mm can be sharpened.

I'm a rightie, but I experimented on a piece of paper --- the scissors appeared to cut the paper easily with either hand. I suggest, though, that you contact the company and ask them your question. Their customer service is supurb.

I haven't used them for that yet but these scissors are amazing! I would bet they do!

This sharpener seems to work on both sides of the blade evenly, for a knife that's works well, but I don't think most scissors work that way. So, maybe not completely ideal for scissors.

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.

I am left handed and these scissors definitely did not work for me. The blades are wrong and you can not see what you are cutting. Some reviewers on this site say that they are left handed but I even contacted Fiskars, sent them back, because they said they would send me true left handed scissors and instead the customer service guy sent the ones I sent back to me and apologized saying they have continued to get complaints about them. It seems the handles fit your left hand but the blades are wrong, still machined for a right handed person.

I don't trim bonsai's so I am not sure. They might be a bit big. I have seen people use these fiskars for bonsai:http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Comfort-Grip-Micro-Tip-Inch-Scissors/dp/B001DIC66O/ref=sr_1_15?s=arts-crafts&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1422998859&sr;=1-15&keywords;=fiskars+micro

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.

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.

Yes, I have used them on two cutters purchased from Amazon and they work beautifully. The surface has to be reasonably smooth. We use ours on formica and it works well. They are the way to go.

We have only bought the Mister Twister filet knife, so I have no idea if it will work on other knives.

I didn't cut mine but it shouldn't be a problem. The liners are thin and I would think scissors would work just fine

I tried sharpening the Henckels shears and ruined them. I had to buy another set. Supposedly they never need sharpening...
