Sharpening Scissors

From my experience, (which is to say not much) one of the problems I’ve seen with scissors is the material being cut tending to slide away from the point of shear. This suggests that a “toothier” edge might be better. I’d stick with the 1000 grit.
That’s kinda what I was thinking. So I figured I would ask you guys before I wasted my time researching it. Thanks.
I did research it after reading the question posed. I didn’t find a single article or source that suggested anything finer than 1000 grit.

Well I meant “experimenting” with it. I guess “researching” was the wrong word to use.

Kyle goes to 1500 grit in his video. I think I’ll go to 1500 next time and check it out.
If the shears will be used for slide cutting, whether fabric or hair, you may want a polished edge.
