Scissor Sharpening with a Stock PP2?

Nothing?
I figured someone would scream “don’t do it!”

Or…point me at 35 links of data…

Not finding what I’m looking for on the obvious searched sites.

Lets ask the Master?
Clay can you provide us with any of your personal experience? I thought I heard your were coming out with a attachment? Is there a way you have found that would help us in the mean time?
Thank you sir!

Once you have done both blades (or one only)close the handles whilst pushing the blades apart until they are closed then squeeze the points together as you open them repeat 3/4 times and the gently close the blades they should feel smooth then.

Leo,
Thank you that is a great tip! 😉 I had no idea there was something to do when done? :woohoo:

Scissors are anywhere between 50-80Ëš(often each blade is a different angle

and often the angle changes along the blade if you do manage to rig them up on the WE then use the dominant angle and also use a sharpie)I would not lower the angle what you may be able to do is stick a wedge or two behind the blade since you may well be able to drop the beveled side down enough so the higher settings on the WE will reach the bevel although you will need long vice bolts to achieve this I await by WE so I cannot exactly say if it will work.
I have an Edge Pro and there is a special scissor attachment although if they are large scissors freehanding should be easy .
Shapen the bevel then when you finish put the back of the blade on the finishing stone to remove the burr.

Okay a friend brought over two scissors to sharpen. Both are made by “Wiss Inland”. One pair is really bulky looks like a linen type scissor, black handles, it’s old timer. The other pair are paper type with a finger “chole” on the bottom handle, looks like chrome handles till you get to the blade then carbon looking with patina. Old timer too, kinda cool. She actually cuts her hair with these? I really don’t think that is their intended purpose?
Okay the question is? Under the loupe the grind seems very coarse? Do you stay with coarse stones/files? Is there a rule of thumb? I am not sure what to do? I will tackle them if someone can answer this question?
Please and thank you,
Eamon

Here’s an old thread on scissors, that you may want to take a look at.

Curtis,
That is what I was trying to find out? What grit, where do you stop? :S I’m going to try the linen one’s tonight :unsure: Please say a prayer to the scissor Gods. 😆
Thank you,
Eamon

Sounds good did you do them on the WE or just used the paddles from the WE?
I normally stop at 1200 grit on the EP although if I do hair shears I take them to 6000 grit tapes.

The only solution I have found for scissor sharpening was the ” Twice As Sharp”. I bought it from All Brands, and it cost about $300.00. It does an excellent job on all types of shears. except hair shears. Since I sharpen knives at farmers markets this is a service I needed to include…..Bill
