can I sharpen scissors with it?

Not preferred, but I'm sure you can if you do it on a edge of a table and swipe each half of the scissor. I also recommend the anime Kill la Kill for extreme scissor action.

Don't even try it unless you want to ruin your scissors! Scissors are considered shears with the sharpened bevel on opposite sides of each blade. Use this sharpener and your scissors may never cut again. In the past, I did jobs using a precision scissors sharpening machine for a commercial drapery company.

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.

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.

Yes......you can get it sharper if you know what you're doing, but it is sharp out of the box...

If you mean sharpen Manicure scissors, I would not know. But it sharpened my shears and small medical type scissors just fine. The part that sharpens the scissors is a white ceramic rod held loosely in the handle, as you pull the scissor's blades through the slots you see, it sharpens both sides of the scissors at once. (Like your trying to cut the rod in half as your pulling the blades through.) Best of luck, I hope this helped.

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 would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

Yes..just make sure you angle it right Its hard to sharpen the whole scissor blade

Depends on your skill level. It is shaped like a small lawn mower blade; if you have successfully sharpened one of those, you can sharpen this.

It's not actually made for use. It's not sharp at all and I doubt you would want to sharpen it and lose part of its color

Yes, you can! As long as the blade is straight and not serrated. I've gone through my knives (including pocket knives) and sharpened everything.

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.

NO, because scissors are beveled at a different angle. The same company makes a very similar looking sharpener that is designed especially for scissors.

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.

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

yes, but it won't guide your angle well. Like scissors, shears can be tricky. I'd highly recommend doing a search for a video demo of the best way to maintain your cutting edges.

Yes, I believe it can. However, I am not sure what you would use to cut it. It may be too thick for a scissor.

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

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