Can you use on scissors?

I actually tried this and it didn't seem to have much effect. lf I had run it through a lot more, maybe it could have made a difference.

I don't think so. The sharpening "steel" is in the form of a v. You need the WorkSharp Knife And Tool Sharpener!

The package specifically states that it is not for use on scissors and they recommend using their "ShearSharp" product instead

Yes. I sharpened a pair just this morning. The scissor blades need to open wide enough to accommodate the height of the sharpener, or if your blades come apart, that would even be easier.

I hadn't tried it on scissors before, so I just took a pair of my scissors and it sharpened them razor sharpthanks fpr the heads up, just another use for this amazing sharpener

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.

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 don't see why not. Sharp scissors or an razer knife would probably do the job

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.

Yes you can. Make sure that they are your utility scissors that you use for those non tech cuts.

Yes, we have sharpened scissors with this sharpener. They are a great product. We have bought them for every member of our family.

No is short answer. Mine after all this time are just now not sharp enough for fabric...took that long...as far as I know the scissors have not been made for years and I intend on getting more while still available...I should say, they were already discontinued for a while before I bought mine on same advice from friend, get them while you can...and GLAD I did

Yes for pens/pencils, there is a longer slot with 2 opening side ends. I don't think it can hold scissors.

They have worked on all the tools I have tried them on including scissors. You will need to buy and use the appropriate ones for scissors. After you have sharpened your shears it normally only takes one or two passes the maintain the edge.

It's probably not great for your average scissors, because scissors need to keep one side flat and taper the opposite, this will taper both sides of the blade, making your scissors less effective.

They do fine on cloth and paper when new....paper wrecks any scissors....and the edge does not extend to hinge as there is a bone notch there......so not a primary sewing or paper shear but instead jack of all trades.

They would.. but not for forever. I used them for ribbon and was my biggest disappointment. They dulled very quick. Even though they come with a sharpener, it didn't work well for me. You have to know what your doing to sharpen them. Also, the thicker the stuff your trying to cut, the easier the scissors pull apart. Another VERY annoying thing with these scissors. They come apart for other uses, but seem to plop apart on their own whenever.

I don't know because I threw mine away. Only one side of scissor thins and I can't remember which side. These scissors were too dull and split my hair. Maybe I was just unlucky and other people may have had success.

Absolutely! I am not sure if we are supposed to, but it was near by and my scissors weren't cutting - they work just fine now, in fact I have touched up all my kitchen knives as well as our pocket knives.

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.
