Can this be used to sharpen kitchen scissors, especially Kitchen Aid

I would say ... Don't waste your money! I know professional sharpeners are expensive and there's no guarantee with them either. Sometimes we just have to grit our teeth an buy new scissors. Annie

I don't see why not. I use it to sharpen all kinds of things. Just keep in mind it is a small tool. The sharpening part is 3/4 inch in length.

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

Yes. It's just a heavy duty plastic so good quality scissors or kitchen shears will do the trick.

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.

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

I am not aware. I think unlikely, however I really like this sharpener and would purchase again.

This could be used to sharpen a Santoku or any knife but the sharpener I received simply did not work. Not sure if it was misaligned, but I returned the unit. I took my blades, including my Santoku, to a local butcher shop that did them all for $1 a piece, which I think was a bargain.

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

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.

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!

I don't know for certain. This sharpener works with the knife blade perpendicular to the ceramic discs. It would be impossible to sharpen the serrations of a serrated blade.

Yes it should. Please read the directions carefully. It will sharpen it nicely, but it will not be as sharp as a new blade.

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've not used the scissor sharpener yet, but from the looks of the sharpener I don't think it would be easy to use with smaller sized scissors.

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.
